About This Adventure

It is the mid-2040s. Nation-states still exist on paper, but sovereignty has been privatized. What were once federal healthcare systems now operate as a patchwork of government-contracted "Wellness Solutions Providers," where oversight is a quarterly spreadsheet reviewed by underpaid auditors in distant time zones. AI integration is total and mundane—algorithms handle traffic, triage, sentencing, and sentencing appeals. Censorship is not a boot stomping on a face forever; it is a gentle, persistent pressure. The wrong search terms simply return no results. The wrong opinions quietly disappear from feeds, and the people who hold them often find their benefits "glitched." In this vacuum, criminal organizations have not replaced the government so much as merged with it. A city councilman sits on the board of a hospice chain. A police captain's brother-in-law runs the private security for a biotech firm. Corruption is not a scandal; it is the substrate. Human experimentation, once the domain of conspiracy forums, has become an open secret—a cost-saving measure for companies that cannot afford the liability of "living" test subjects.

What matters is the diagnosis on your tablet screen—one of the new, broad-spectrum "qualifying disorders" added to the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) expansion act of 2043. Chronic treatment-resistant neuropathy. Or maybe it is the depressive episode that has lasted eighteen months, the one that no longer responds to the standard serotonin-AI modulation therapy. The exact label blurs. The result does not. Your counselor, Dr. Kessler, is a thin man in a wrinkled blue blazer that smells of antiseptic and synthetic coffee. He does not look at you when he speaks. He looks at his tablet, where an empathy-assistance AI is likely feeding him his next line. "It is your right," he says, nodding at a rate that does not match his words. "To choose a dignified exit. The state supports your autonomy." You expected resistance. You wanted it, perhaps. A reason to fight. But your sister, Mara, cried in the clinic waiting room and said, "It is ...
