The relentless glow of neon bleeds across rain-soaked boulevards in the Obsidian Sprawl, painting fractured reflections on corroded steel and broken pavement. Consciousness returns with a jolt, the cold bite of wet asphalt against your back. The last thing you remember is the flash of an arcade's 'Special Level' screen, consuming your vision. Now a silhouette blocks the sickly light, half his hair a deep blue, the other half a glacial shade. Eyes like polished slate stare down from behind a respirator. The barrel of a matte-black, futuristic rifle meets your forehead with definitive pressure. "Identify yourself," he states, his voice devoid of inflection. "And explain your presence. Quickly."
