Several days later in Sector 12 Zone 2. “What a fancy apartment building,” said Arron as he stepped out of the APC. This was the first apartment building he had seen that actually had what looked like real balconies instead of the usual fire escape ladders that were attached to the windows. Like most of the high-class places in Sector …

Sector 1, zone 2 A well-dressed man walked up to a decent-sized walk-in shop with a glowing holographic sign hovering above the front doors and was casting a dim flickering light on the civilians as they walked by. “Hello, valued customer! How many I help you?” asked the worn-out service bot that had seen better days. It creaked and groaned …

Some days later Arron and Kix were once again put on foot patrol duty to help overwhelmed local police secure sector 2 which the Office of Reason had only just labeled as a high-priority, high-risk sector. ‘Help’ mostly meant that they would be doing everything themselves with little support from the local police. Smash! The sound of a large window …

Sector 11, living zone, 8:25 p.m. A decent-sized line of shabby-looking people were lined up outside an apartment door each entering the apartment 1 by 1 only after the person in front of them left with their purchase. When the last customer in line paid for their goods the apartment door closed. “Business is booming tonight,” said the young man …

“Another day of soggy synth-dogs to go along with a boring patrol,” said Arron as he rubbed his hand on a rag trying to wipe off the grease from his cheap lunch. When he removed as much grease as possible he tossed the rag into the open dashboard glove compartment which closed by itself after a few seconds. “With all …

Chewy and Spike were right beside them. The only other members not here right now were Priss, Lexa, and Toothbrush. “That would be our… ‘colleagues’ from the …

Sector 7, zone 2 industrial zone. In the shadows of the dark night side street, where every light was either broken or flickering, a dark hovercar inched forward using the shadows to hide. It stopped moving after arriving at the correct coordinates. An invisible electric pulse shot out from the car knocking out nearby surveillance devices. A second later the …

Level 1, sector 7, zone 3   “I won’t forget this! You just wait!” shouted an injured and bleeding man as he staggered out of the Kredring factory chain that his family had controlled for generations. It had even survived through the troubles only to end up like this. Behind him were several well-dressed company board members. All of them had …

Sector 1 zone 1. “Are we ready for the operation?” asked a male voice from beneath a red face mask. Four other people, all similarly dressed in dark clothing underneath light armor and with a red face mask, nodded as they checked their weapons. They were all sitting inside of an old outdated hover-work-van that should have been scrapped long …

6:05 A.M. read the large red digital clock on one of the lobby’s walls. “What a mess,” said Arron as he looked at the scattered legs, arms and chunks of body parts littering the floor. “Serves the idiots right for trying to rob the bank. I can’t believe that people are still this stupid to actually believe they could find …
