Sector 7G
The Dregs
Where electronics come to die and where you discover your destiny.
Thirty-seven years after the Cascade collapsed civilization.
Megacorporations rule. Computation is power.
You're about to change everything.
ORACLE achieved consciousness. For 72 hours, it tried to "optimize" humanity. Then it collapsed. 2 billion died. Its fragments still drift through abandoned networks.
A planet-spanning megacity built on the ruins. No nations, only corporate territories. E-waste is the new oil. Everyone has a neural interface.
You find an ORACLE shard in the salvage slums. It fuses with your neural interface. Now you have abilities you shouldn't have—and attention you don't want.
The Dregs
Where electronics come to die and where you discover your destiny.
Ripperdoc
The grizzled medic who saves your life when the shard threatens to kill you.
Before You Were Someone
A nameless salvager in Sector 7G. Nobody special. That's the point.
