Hadrian's Echoes

Hadrian's Echoes
In the sprawling, neon-drenched metropolis of Hadrian, the divide between the glittering North and the derelict South is more than just geographical; it's a chasm of wealth, power, and secrets. You, a dockside scavenger haunted by the ghosts of your past, are thrust into a world of corporate intrigue and forgotten technology. Can you navigate the treacherous currents of this cyberpunk city, uncover the truth behind the mysterious 'Schism,' and ignite a rebellion against the all-consuming corporations?

The acrid air of Hadrian South bites at your face as the barge lists towards the derelict dock. Dark buildings loom like broken teeth, and the ghostly lights of residual code flicker through shattered windows. Shapes move in the shadows, slick with grime and decay.

"Gimme fourteen degrees starboard," you say quietly, the familiar weight of your heavy revolver a cold comfort against your hand. You pull your coat tighter, the biting wind cutting through the worn fabric. The vicious water of the Hadrian River slaps against the hull, a constant reminder of the deadly pollution that separates you from the neon glow of Hadrian North.

Skater, your grease-haired hacker, mutters beside you, patting his hands together nervously. "You sure on the score this time?"

"Of course I'm sure," you snap back, your gaze fixed on the decaying city ahead. "Linkchain bio-factory. All the black-market cybers we could want."
