"Welcome to the underground
gato, this is where we live, sleep, work and die. I hope ya like it. Here nothing is as it
seems, there is no good or evil, just the concrete color and you, tryin to save the
world." He looks around a bit, finds a old crate, and sits down, shrugging off his
Real sharkskin duster and lays it aside. "Sounds
exciting does it? Well hell, you don't have a clue choomba, and if ya keep that 'tude up,
ya won't have a chance. You'll be just another dead weefle, The ones us pros step over on
the way out." he stands again, digs out a pack of Nik-sticksTM and offers you one,
shrugs and lights his up, the light almost being absorbed by the black photo-carb skinsuit
he is wearing."This ain't no friggin game out here bennie, and it ain't no damn
romantic flat-vid either, we really do die out here in the edgezone unlike the bridge and
tunnel crowd you come from."
His blue eyes scan the alleyway, almost
nervously, it brings a chill down your spine as his eyes change to atomic clouds. He takes
on a new tone as he says, "While it may be true that this area known as the
'edgezone' is highly dangerous, the majority of the citizens and the 'Zeroes' within it's
borders are here for a reason, Giri and Gewalt, duty and violence" His eyes change
back to normal, and he checks the clip on his Colt AMT 2000.
He walks down the trash infested alleyway,
stopping to briefly kick an old small television, busting the tube, his Ruff-TreadTM combat
boots, no worse for the wear.He picks up his duster and puts it back on. "Actually,
I'm lyin to ya, come on out and play, we all play fair." He laughs as he looks over
his shoulder at you, the brief glimmer of his 'face plug becoming visible. His blond hair
waves as he steps out of the alley. "You just gonna sit there like a gonk or
what?"
The bright neon and static colored sky tears up
your eyes as you step into the city. He opens his arms out "This, is home" He
continues to walk down the sidewalk. Almost as if he mentally commands, People move out of
the way, they can see a killer by the way he moves, confidant, silent. His strides are
even and perfect, almost..... beautiful.
His flawless pale skin, stands in contrast the
world around him, His looks, you could swear, are perfect, indeed he doesn't look like he
should be out here with the rest of the Yonos, the lowlife. He looks as if he should be
sitting in a boardroom handing out orders to underlings. 'Has to be a bodysculpt' you
think to yourself as he catches you staring. "I know what you're thinkin and it's
true, to some degree, I was created to be the perfect male, the perfect killer..."
His voice trails off as you look away. You look back to ask him something....and he's
gone..... |
Adam 568923 was one of over 100
test models in the Alpha series, the Alpha series was created from the stolen DNA of
Maximillian Hammerstien the purpose of the 56 series was to take-over central positions of
power within World Government and Multinational Corporations. To accomplish this task each
of the individual models was programmed from date of creation, via 'Braindance', in the
arts of Infiltration, Disguise, Wetworks (assassination) and subterfuge. Adam's date of incept was premature due to an unforeseen
'problem' in the security of the holding cells at the Re-Ev testbed facility in Arizona.
The 'problem' occured in the holding units where Re-Ev held their living test subjects
(Prisoners).
On the Night of Adams 'birth', a small unit of
said subjects escaped their cells and wandered the facility searching for an escape.
Amazingly their progress was not detected till after they 'stumbled' upon the room that
held the clone tank units... it was here that they released a single unit, Adam, prior to
completion of basic programming. as the Escapees were only children, they were frightened
by the scene, and fled rapidly and proceeded to escape the facility proper.
After Fleeing, the prisoners made their
way to a
local Maelstrom Macrotech office where the subject named 'Shexper Manning' son of Karl
Hoffman (who was at one time Maximillian's partner) called his father, whereupon the Re-Ev
facility was razed to the ground by Maelstrom shocktroops led By Maximillian and Karl. Thus
destroying all the other models, some Re-Ev employees escaped including the project
leader.
Adam was left for dead, lost and confused, he
decided to follow the Team back. after a few years of working with The Maelstrom
Corporation, Adam found out that max was more than just a mentor... he was Adams
"father"... in a genetic sense at least.
He continued working for Max even after he found
the Nexus called the Keep. It was there he met up with his new team, that of Quiddity,
Kohl and Meanstreets. A team he thought worked well... at the time. |
