Theme
Around 2070. The psychic humans left adaptive “chamber” training gear—meant for training, not captivity. Echoes still hunt compatible hosts. Corporations see copyable latex tech and control rights.
You are a free operator: take bounties from every side, deliver results, get paid, and own the relational cost. There are no absolute allies.
Tech Lineage (Source Axis)
- ① Native chamber latex (psychic training gear)
- ② Ada’s replica (private · never circulated · never enters war)
- ③ Stewart industrialization ∥ Novis low-grade industrialization
- ④ Novis bio-fusion (Keller only · zero public leakage)
- ⑤ Native-doped latex (feedstock boost)
How the War Escalates
Grey zone → shadow war → proxy war → open war. Conflict index climbs; the board hardens with it. The finale is not a mission counter—it is a world-route choice.
You can also refuse savior duty: pick no side, keep the balance, stall finale conditions—so nobody wins cleanly. That is another path.
Restraint
Restraint is not a death screen; it is a state change. Solvent and keys are a second life; your assistant can extract from safe zones. Even with limbs locked, choice remains—observe, struggle, adapt.
