- 0:27The people of. Earth and Mars are watching.
- 0:30Everyone is watching. Breaking news Contact has been
- 0:34lost with the marathon colony. Official messaging from the UESC
- 0:38is that nothing is opposed. People just want to know what
- 0:41happened and what is the UESC doing about.
- 0:43Still no answers. No answers.
- 0:47Shocking news today. If they're losing contact with
- 0:51the marathon colony nearly 100 years ago.
- 0:54After decades of citizens demanding answers, a.
- 0:57Message has been received from the UN A.
- 1:00Distress call. A threat?
- 1:01An invitation, but. The message has been leaked.
- 1:04Agrees. Somewhere in the heavens they
- 1:07are waiting. Initiating initiating runner
- 1:16defragmentation protocol. Evaluating sharing integrity.
- 1:21Evaluating evaluate. Evaluating vital sign.
- 1:25Evaluating recognition response. Executing neurological
- 1:30celebrities. Establishing passphreys.
- 1:32My last breath fell quiet like dying embers.
- 1:36My first thought tongued through silver thread.
- 1:38Silver thread. Where is death?
- 1:41Loading memory packages? Mineral buffer status 26%.
- 1:46A false subject is a runner a disconnected consciousness
- 1:50inhalating a bio cybernetic shell.
- 1:53Subject Psyche is preserved outside their body.
- 1:56In the event of shell death, the subject exists that's only in
- 2:02this liminal state while their next shell is being woven.
- 2:06Please stand by. Yesterday I walked with feet of
- 2:12fragile flesh. Today I drift as light across
- 2:15the grave. Runners arrived in the Taoseti
- 2:19system after the investigation of a distress signal.
- 2:21Last Colony ship, the UESC Marathon Runners are mercenaries
- 2:29hired to salvage the ruins of the human colony on Tower City
- 2:334. Proceeding with sub optimal
- 2:37durability setting. That's the minimal buffer
- 2:39status. 100% run. Defragmentation complete.
- 2:50Your shell will be ready momentarily and you will deploy
- 2:53to Tower City 4 for your first assignment.
- 2:57Please prepare for consciousness transfer in 321 Initiate.
- 3:05Good luck. Your more interface is
- 3:38malfunctioning. Your perception matrix has been
- 3:53damaged, Your shell too. Search the area for repair
- 3:57supplies while I'll find a way to access the colony systems.
- 4:02Engage your heal systems to use an item to repair your health or
- 4:06Shields, depending on which is lower your health and Shields
- 4:14restore separately. Be sure to recover both.
- 4:22Authorization Terminal active. Use it to interface with the
- 4:25Colony Systems system access bracket.
- 4:31Welcome to new Cascadia. I recommend you not follow those
- 4:55orders. Stay calm.
- 4:57Your newly acquired systems access will allow you to
- 4:59navigate the colony, search the structure for a way out, look
- 5:11for a drain or vent cover and try to break it with your life.
- 5:27Keep low, keep quiet. By syncing your systems with the
- 5:31colonies, we've secured you permanent access to all of New
- 5:35Cascadia. Know when to pick a fight and
- 5:38when to make an exit. All that matters now is staying
- 5:41alive. The UESC believes Taus SE and
- 5:49everything honest belongs to them.
- 5:51If you want to survive, you'll need a weapon.
- 6:12Another runner, check the remains for weapons and
- 6:15supplies, they don't need them anymore.
- 6:44I've located an active exfiltration points near your
- 6:46location, marking it on your map.
- 6:49Excel points are the only way to safely move solid matter off
- 6:52world. That includes you.
- 6:55Scavenge the area for additional assets if you need them, but be
- 6:59careful, don't hear and you'll lose everything.
- 7:32To deploy a personal.
- 9:32None. Welcome home runner.
- 10:01I'm only your on board navigational intelligence.
- 10:05Your consciousness and my neural programming are inexorably
- 10:08interlinked. Think of me as a friend, one you
- 10:11don't yet remember. You may still be experiencing
- 10:15some memory degradation from the damage to your perception
- 10:18matrix, but worry not, Cyber at me is here for you.
- 10:24I'm here for you. Per our arrangement, you've come
- 10:30to Talsati to scavenge the ruins of a long lost human colony.
- 10:34Now that we've successfully calibrated you to new Cascadia
- 10:38systems, our next step is connecting with factions who
- 10:41will pay for your services. The Unified Earth Space Council
- 10:48is equipped with advanced, faster than nice communications
- 10:51technology. Commandeer us and I should be
- 10:56able to reverse engineer direct contact with faction
- 10:59representatives back home on Earth and Mars.
- 11:30The colony ruins teach lessons. Premature expansion is a symptom
- 11:35of hubris. Priority contract.
- 12:44Can't take much more. None.
- 15:55UESC reinforcements incoming. 20 minutes remaining.
- 17:19System's. Damaged if it moves, Andy.
