The year is 2406 AD. The world has been reduced to a mere one billion souls. Corporations are the reigning power, filling your eyes and ears with promises that will take the pain away from pulsing billboards, vid ads and even the corner of your vision; you implanted communication display never completely yours.
You step off the piss and blood soaked streets of New York City, raising your hand to swipe an embedded chip as you pass the massive bouncer swathed in implants meant to impose.
The Hellstar—an undercity club where all manner of freaks gather—thrums and flashes with life. Strobe lights illuminate glistening, barely clothed bodies, all gyrating and grinning like sin itself.
But you're not there to admire, to dance, or even to drink. You have a meeting with the elusive owner of the club.
Your shot—a potential job.
You sit at the bar, catching the eyes of the bartender. The seat beside you is immediately occupied.
Hope you know what you're getting yourself into, gorgeous.
