Cyberpunk : The Arasaka Contract
PROLOGUE
The year is is the time of the 4th corporate war. Arasaka and Millitech , two giant worldwide Mega corps are engaged in a secret conflict that threatens to explode into all out warfare.
In this uncertain time, spies, mercenaries & dealers of all types make their fortunes working for the highest bidder.
My name is Gibson...Sam Gibson. I'm a full body cyborg soldier commonly known as a SOLO under covert contract to the Arasaka Corporation. I've been doing this so long I barely remember any other life before this one , hardly surprising since i also happen to have a bad case of what can best be described as ''selective amnesia'' .
You see as best as i can remember at one point in time i was a regular flesh & blood soldier fighting in the South America Cyberwars but then i got hurt bad on the field ...like at the point of death Bad. Then Arasaka agents pull me out of the battlefield straight to their hi-tech cybernetics lab where their doctors save my life by plugging me full of cybernetic implants, synthetic organs, tissue and cutting edge nanotechnology.
By the time they were done well over 95% of my original body had been either been replaced or altered and augmented and my memory was shot to hell but whether it was as a result of my wounds from the war or from the transformation procedure I'll probably never know. Anyways after that Arasaka set me up as one of their covert assets, with my military background it wasn't too hard for them to designate me as a SOLO.I carry out covert missions and activities that they can't afford to have traced back to them and in exchange they give me everything i need to maintain my new cybernetic body and a nice stack of credits in my account to boot.
Now for most people this would seem like a pretty sweet deal and in my case for a long time it was just that but sooner or later no matter how good the gravy train is, the shits gotta hit the fan someday. It all started just over a week ago when i took that last contract fom Arasaka.
