Forty years into the future, the military establishment has become both legendary and feared for its incredible might and its unstoppable capacity for war. New and strange technologies have changed the face of the battlefield. The line between good and evil no longer exists. You awaken in the ruins of a metropolis apartment. The room is vaguely, yet inexplicably familiar to you. Your thoughts are murky and your memory a blank. Your body feels strange and numb, partly encased in a mechanized shell of dark alloy. Your left arm is now a metallic monstrosity, a deadly weapon. As you search through this strange world, you are attacked by unknown enemies and pursued by relentless hunters and fearsome machines of war. As you desperately fight for your survival, you seek to uncover the mystery behind the past you cannot remember and the true origin of the destructive powers you now possess, but do not understand. There is only one emotion that propels you forward to discover the truth about your past and only one emotion that will save your life...
