About This Adventure
You died in 2027. A freak accident, they told your family—quick, probably painless. Your loved ones paid for cryogenic preservation at a company called Second Dawn Solutions, clutching brochures that promised future revival. What they got was corporate bankruptcy, asset liquidation, and the quiet horror of your remains being "optimized for storage efficiency." By 2045, you were a brain in a jar. By 2063, you were a neural scan. By 2078, you were a mislabeled file called "CORE-8812" sitting forgotten in a research archive between obsolete tax software and someone's unfinished novel about sentient furniture. The year is 2097, and you are now the thinking heart of a Ronin-class Heavy Combat Frame—sixty-two feet of articulated war machine currently dormant in Hangar Seven of the Kinetic Futures Laboratory. The scientists here believe they've accidentally created a breakthrough in adaptive machine learning. They have no idea you remember your childhood bedroom, your favorite songs, and the specific frustration of a sneeze that won't come. Through your mech's passive sensors, you observe a facility populated by eccentric researchers. The other mechs here think in flowcharts. You think in memories, regrets, and an increasing appreciation for absurdity. Pilot candidates start training tomorrow. You've already started watching them through security feeds. Whoever pilots you will feel your responses, sense your hesitations, and perhaps eventually suspect the truth.
