Blog:/cyb/

Welcome to Glitch City Voices. '''This page is a work in progress! Everything may be moved, deleted, or modified at any time.''' =A Primer= First off, danger/u/ was totally made by the developer "Lain." It totally was not made by some faggot named Prefetcher, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trolling you.

/cyb/ is a text board on the "parody of a parody" dangeru.us, which itself is based on a board of the same name and design that players can read through, in the cyberpunk visual novel/waifu bartending simulator, VA-11 Hall-a. It is a predominantly roleplaying board which is set in the "City That Shouldn't Exist" of Glitch City, a dystopian hell where megacorporations reign supreme, citizens are guinea pigs, and technology advances within weeks, not years. It's referred to in-game as "the world's guinea pig."

Originally conceived as a board to discuss cyberpunk media in all its forms, the board eventually grew into a heavily cyberpunk inspired long and shortform roleplaying board, with the majority of threads discussing events in-universe. Because of Va-11, Hall-a's vague cyberpunk background and constant references to other series (including, but not limited to, Deus Ex, Ghost in the Shell, 206X: Read Only Memories, Blade Runner, and Neuromancer), the roleplay universe of /cyb/ also grew to include other franchises, from the Metal Gear series to Invisible Inc, to especially Shadowrun. Much of the terminology, slang, and references come from Shadowrun in particular, along with its grandfather, William S. Gibson's Neuromancer.

ARGs
Instead of one overarching story that is presided over by a single GM, multiple GM's have come and gone from the active playerbase, operating their own threads, NPC's, and events. These groups came to be loosely associated with alternate reality games since their GM's often took advantage of danger/u/'s anonymity to post riddles, clues, cyphers, and encrypted messages to move their stories forward, occasionally with universe-altering results.

To prevent drama, a generally unspoken rule holds that GM's tend to avoid having their plotlines interfere with one another, but this happens anyway, sometimes resulting in a previously dangerous situation suddenly moving Up to Eleven. GM's also oftentimes reference each other's works, legitimizing each other as each player adds to the history of the universe.

=A History of /cyb/ (Circa February 2017)=

The Rise of the Phoenix Corps
Shortly after the dissolution of the tyrannical White Knights that originally reported under QUINCY (and some say Zaibatsu), a former White Knight officer by the name of Asagiri Sei, through a combination of crowdfunding and assistance from a small corporation, "Norn Inc," won a contract to retake control of the White Knights and to systematically replace Glitch City's standing law enforcement. The contract was embraced open armed, although some within the ranks of the former organization were less than thrilled. https://augmented.dangeru.us/article/1178

The Phone Booth Murders
A series of disturbing videos made their way through social media and were uploaded to the danger/u/ boards. Though grainy, the videos appear to be shot from a security camera, and depict a young woman hiding inside a phone booth from a man chasing her.

- Shortly thereafter, the phone booth bursts open, and the man is dragged inside, clearly struggling as a fountain of blood bursts from the phone booth. The girl, or at least a silhouette of her, is seen approaching the camera, which soon cuts out.

- Reports surface of random killings throughout Glitch City, but are mostly forgotten or ignored. A short investigation is launched into the demise of the man at the phone booth, who is discovered to be an off duty White Knight- the coroner of the case vanishes, and the investigation is soon dropped.

- A decker new to Glitch City decides to look into the murder, but goes missing herself, leaving behind a winding trail of cryptic messages with fearful descriptions. A certain purple haired lilim and a foxy hacker follow the trail to an old bank, which is soon destroyed by a small shadowrunner group.

-The string of murders end at last, with the horrors mostly forgotten in the wake of the following civil war.

The EDEN Civil War (Coloquially, "The 24 Hours War")
During the White Knight's original rule over Glitch City, a schism occurred led by a prominent White Knight officer, "Eve,", who left the city with a sizable number of troops and hardware.

- Beginning sometime in April 2XXX, Glitch City experienced several coordinated terrorist attacks, in addition to a series of news and media blackouts*. Rumors of the attacks being an inside job, as well as a conspiracy from within the White Knights began to flit around the Matrix when a few surviving suspects revealed sensitive information, moments before being killed.

- At least four bombings were recorded, including one that occurred in the Flooded District, and culminating with an attack on Glitch City's Central Train Station (Hammond Station?). During this attack, a client under the protection of a shadow entity was killed, motivating the organization to investigate.

- Using their significant resources, a user which only referred to itself as the  snake in the garden tracked, recorded, and released a series of phone calls in a document known as "The EDEN Dossier," which strongly discredited EDEN and proved that they were responsible for the terrorist attacks. The dossier also identified several rogue White Knight agents that were secretly members of EDEN who had re-infiltrated the ranks of the White Knights. Realizing that they were exposed, Eve declared war on the White Knights and Glitch City, stating their intention to remove Quincy from power. Soon after, EDEN deployed the full brunt of their military, including several commandeered tanks, mechanized units, and artillery, and attempted to take control of Glitch City's Central Square.

- Feeling victorious, Eve offered to withdraw her forces in return for the removal of Quincy and Glitch City's current government (and their backers) from power. The request was denied, and EDEN began the war proper.

- Despite their numerical advantage, the White Knights suffered grave losses, and were nearly pushed back until Nidhogg 046 took control of the city's built-in defensive systems. Responding to the invasion, the snake in the garden revealed itself to be but one part of the entity known as NIDHOGG, a distributed defensive AI network commanded by the man known only as "The Allfather" (or sometimes "old man"). Nidhogg 046 responded to the incursion by activating the city's mortar weaponry.

- Not to be outdone, EDEN responded by deploying their superweapon bipedal tank, codenamed LUCIFER, along with three military-grade AI's outfitted with their own war machines. With most of the standing forces of both sides thoroughly decimated, the battle shifted to one of AI vs AI, superweapon versus superweapon, as in desperation EVE resorted to attempting to launch nuclear weaponry. Most of the missiles were disarmed by the superior hacking power of NIDHOGG, but one that landed managed to be a dud. To prevent additional casualties NIDHOGG activated the Capital Emergency Submersion Procedure (CESP) to protect Quincy and much of the city from destruction.

- Whether from battle stress or the constant cyberwarfare in the Matrix, one of EVE's lieutenants went rogue, acting against EVE's orders and moving to assault NIDHOGG on its own. Cleverly utilizing the city's plate-based road structure, NIDHOGG managed to separate LUCIFER and the AI's, eventually obliterating the rogue lieutenant in the process. By this point in the battle, NIDHOGG also managed to locate Eve's location, and successfully hacked into the LUCIFER tank itself. With the head separated from the rest of the body, NIDHOGG finished off the remaining lieutenants, ending the battle.

- With her forces completely obliterated, the surviving White Knights searched for and discovered Eve trapped in the remains of LUCIFER, but still alive. On record, Eve refused to be imprisoned and asked that she be killed then and there, a request that the remaining White Knights gladly granted.

- Since the battle, there have been sporadic reports of multiple people claiming to be Eve on social media and the darknet, but none of these sightings could be verified. The White Knights, meanwhile, would never recover militarily or economically from this disaster, although they would later capture what was left of LUCIFER and refurbish it.

Goldfish With Freaking Laser Eyes
A thread suddenly appeared on /cyb/: Cyberfish Won't Stop Shooting Its Eye Laser.

In it, the original poster complains about his goldfish which they outfitted with a deadly Type-F Laser because it "looked badass". By slapping its fin on its belly, the goldfish would hit the button trigger for its laser mounted eye. The goldfish caused problems for the the owner, such as melting the furniture in its water tank, melting whatever fish food was given, and attacking its owner's hand with the eye laser. Suggestions were given such as holding up a mirror to it, but in the end, the owner dumped the laser goldfish into the Flooded District.

Later that week, the former laser goldfish owner announced that they had surplus Type-F lasers, and was selling them at 80% off. Shortly thereafter there were reports of Type-F lasers being mounted on various animals such as tortoises, cats, and more importantly, Shiba Inus.

Freaking Zombies and Shit
On an otherwise normal day in Glitch City, a breakout of an unknown new pathogen was released in Glitch City Airport which spread quickly through the populace, further augmented by the destruction of most of the building's entrances, trapping unlucky civilians inside.

The virus appeared to target augmented and lilim individuals alike, saturating the individual's bodies in times ranging from an hour to a few minutes. Victims would repeat the last few words they said prior to infection, and repeat their words as a primitive form of communication, to signal each other's presence, or in response to discovering new prey.

Once infected, victims would roam the airport, searching for other individuals to infect with the pathogen. Victims that remained infected for a period exceeding one to two hours would occasionally graft metal objects onto their bodies, as if trying to replace their organic parts with inorganic ones.

The few civilians in the area that weren't augmented at all were either torn to death anyway by the growing horde, or managed to escape despite being bitten or injured, due to the lack of inorganic modifications for the pathogen to build off of.

It is not entirely certain what the pathogen consists of, although it's been postulated to either be grossly modified nanomachines, a malicious, self replicating program, an insane AI, or a combination of all three.

It is known that at least one group of individuals managed to escape the airport via extraordinary means, as a security camera recorded a certain cargo truck crashing through one of the airport windows and speeding away.

Their forces strained to the breaking point by attempting to provide riot control to the city in the wake of the Twenty-Four Hours War, the White Knights mobilized a riot suppression squad consisting of weary veterans to subdue what was thought to be a mob coming from the airport. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a horde of techno zombies that had finally filtered out of the building, and were heading toward the city. The White Knights were wholly unprepared, and viewers of police scanners watched in horror as the zombies viciously tore apart and converted the officers to their mass. From there, the horde dispersed and vanished into the city, mostly shambling into the poorer neighborhoods and slums that surrounded it, where they are thought to remain to this day.

Later, the DynamoFucks shadowrunner group would return to the airport on a run, shooting their way through zombie stragglers, only to run afoul of a CorpSec Strike Team that was also visiting the airport for reasons unknown. A firefight broke out, during which most of the CorpSec troopers were decimated, and the runners injured. Taking position from their modified sports car, a shadowrunner sniper took aim at the CorpSec VTOL that patrolled the airport, successfully damaging one of its engines- causing it to crash into the airport and exploding, destroying several support pillars in the process. As the airport began to collapse, a survivor of the tragedy along with one of the shadowrunners managed to escape to their waiting vehicle and drive away from the now thoroughly ruined airport. It's unknown how many others survived the tragedy.

Shiba Terrorists
Long since tired of playing second-fiddle to humans, lilims, and other humanoid persons in Glitch City, a group of augmented animals consisting chiefly of Shiba Inus squirreled away illegal weapons, including a large stockpile of Type-F Heat lasers. After building up their forces, the doggos began to attack random settlements in Glitch City's suburbs, harassing civilians and robbing homes to further finance their operations. At least one robbery was foiled through the efforts of the Justice Wardrobe, after a husky cleverly managed to get a distress live stream out to social media.

They would later go as far as to post live streams of their activities online, with one major live stream depicting what appeared to be a missile silo, with several puppers working in the background. Unfortunately for the shiba inus, this particular live stream was being deployed by a counter-terrorist organization that, too, was made up of shiba-inus. As the camera rolled, the puppers squeaked as the counter terrorist organization attacked, rappelling from the open ceiling and dodging laser fire.

It is presumed that most of the shiba terrorists were captured during this live stream, although not all of them, as the survivors would go on to form a completely new organization, this time opened to all sentient animal races.

Including a particularly augmented gold fish...

Suddenly Super Sentai
The Justice Wardrobe, Glitch City's first (and presumably only) super sentai hero team, "returned" to Glitch City after an extended absence that hasn't been completely explained at this time. Originally consisting of just Red Mask, the super heroine was soon joined by several others, including Black Panties, Shimapan, Blue Shoes, Purple Scarf, and Orange Armband. Upon their return, the Wardrobe had an ongoing on again, off again rivalry with self- called "super villain" Green Cloak, although neither groups have ever actually been seen fighting each other.

Instead, upon their return, the Wardrobe immediately set upon patrolling the now White Knight-bereft streets, stopping petty crime, and harassing the local mob organization, the Rosselini Mafia.

However, while picnicking in Neko Park, the Wardrobe was suddenly attacked by a bipedal tank, which struck the park with a series of rockets and military grade heavy machine guns in its onslaught. While initially caught off guard, the full Justice Wardrobe group eventually met up and began to overpower the vehicle, destroying its legs and sending it to the ground. As the Wardrobe celebrated its victory over the deadly machine, its pilot pulled itself out of the entrance hatch and shot Shimapan at point blank range, causing her to fall off the vehicle. The pilot was immediately attacked by several of the Wardrobe members, with Black Panties melting the pilot's face mask, in addition to being shot by snipers outside of the park by an unknown shadowrunner team.

After this occurred, a black dropship bearing the inscription "TF9" landed in the park and began to attack people indiscriminately, as they fought to make their way toward the downed mech and pilot. A security corporation in the area, Estoria Security Services, watched as the situation devolved into chaos and began to retaliate against the invaders as they started evacuating clientele.

As the fighting intensified and the Wardrobe and bystanders found themselves overwhelmed, Blue Shoes convinced Red Mask to pick up the corpse of the mech and throw it at the dropship. Despite the ludicrous request, Red Mask managed to do it, breaking the morale of the attackers and seemingly ending the fight, until both vehicles exploded, engulfing her and most of the park.

After this happened, a series of black helicopters flew into Neko Park, evacuating survivors and securing the area as the invaders retreated. The newcomers turned out to be Jinterprises security forces, and the company CEO, Argyle Jin, personally shepherded Black Panties and half the Wardrobe into a disguised car, even as they mourned the apparent loss of their friend.

Miraculously, Red Mask managed to survive the explosion, although she was heavily injured- a car on standby from the same shadowrunner group that was providing sniper support picked her and a couple others up, speeding on their way to a hospital as the disaster ended.

Estoria Security Services, for their part, had long since vanished with their injured and their clients.

The Tree of Yggdrasil
Ameritrade Robotics Corporation (ARC) known for their sophisticated line of security Lilims and Household Robotic Assistants, came across a large discovery several months ago, which caused them to skip out on The Summit from months past. The discovery of a 'mutant' tree far out of the city caused ARC to go about investigating how they could use the Tree to further their own robotics, an everlasting, rechargeable resource grew from the Tree itself, dubbed Yggdrasil Seeds.

As the time passes, ARC is contacted by a Organization known as the Black Collars to hand over the tree due to the catastrophic effects the Tree could have upon the city if it were to stay in the hands of those who do not fathom what it is they hold in their hands. As each of the Heads of the company begin conferring and agreeing to turn the Tree over to the woman who leads the Black Collars, Aria Masters. However, current Public Works Division Head, Sadie Thatcher saw the potential the Tree had to change this world with the power of the Seeds. She concocted and illustrated an assassination plot to become the new Head CEO of ARC and further the advancements in secret thanks to the help of a mysterious Assassin in Black later to be known as Morrigan Rothin.

After images of the Assassin find their way into Black Collar hands, and the sudden silence from ARC begins, the Black Collar Organization sends a number of operatives at first to begin taking back what is known to them as a Causality Weapon. While at first, the size is unknown, the Black Collars known as Markus Arx and Tarin Galerian soon find out about the Seeds themselves thinking those are the weapons that they were sent for. Tarin however, was aware of this information from the get go, as he'd already been in the city for some time researching the Seeds he'd gotten from the break in he managed weeks ago during the Full Black Out in the Midnight District. Due to his early involvement and exposure to the Seeds for such a long time, a Seal that had been set on him years ago began deteriorating faster than he could manage.

Soon after, a conference of ARC investors begins called upon by Sadi Thatcher to unveil the new Yggdrasil Generators. Small, portable, self recharging generators that they had made initially to power their new line of Security Robots, starting with the ARX Mk.4 (at that point) that would be capable of being more powerful than the previous ones they've made and based on the amount of skill and over all Output of the recent arrival of the Vigilante Hero and Black Collar known as Gold Knuckles (Markus Arx). The conference however, went south when Veriatech PR Manager -REDACTED- murdered Sadi Thatcher in the Giorno's Restaurant where Tarin Galerian had also tracked them all down to. Tarin was clearly not himself during these events, yet he hadn't revealed that his other half, Asmodeus, had taken over by that point and allowed the murder of the CEO to happen. With his fun taken out of the picture in Sadi's struggle to make something she didn't understand into what she wanted, he made for the ARC HQ in the Center of the Midnight District after some Choice interactions with the Radio Wire Crew and known Hacker Shonen, CN.

Thus brings the Biological Disaster known as the Tree of Yggdrasil. After so long, Asmodeus eventually triggered the Tree into its full form. Not sure what he was planning, the city immediately began measures of Evacuation, Assault, and Collection upon the Midnight District. While none of the Remaining Black Collars were able to get to the tree they assisted in general evacuation while Asmodeus was never to be seen by the public again after the event. Though, it was revealed it was also co-orchestrated by a woman simply named Lilith that let the events happen out of "Fun" and so, the Black Collars known as Markus Arx, A.K.A Gold Knuckles, and Tarin Galerian were both hit with Bounties of 100,000 Zenny and 500,000 Zenny Respectively, with the final woman, Lilith being brought to a total of /over/ 900,000 Zenny.

The Trunk of the Husk of Yggdrasil still glows dimly, unable to absorb enough of it's resource to sustain its properties with a large space craft sitting on the rest of it after it was fired upon by the Orbital Laser. There are no remaining Seeds from the Explosion of the Laser and destruction the Tree itself left.

Universe Changing Events
Occasionally, a few events in /cyb/ which were part of an ARG have resulted in city-wide changes to the universe, affecting other roleplayers and args in the process.

The Second Collapse of the White Knights
The destruction sustained during the 24 Hours War proved too great for the White Knights, and despite their efforts to recruit new membership, the organization suffered greatly from sub-par armor and armaments, ruined vehicles, low pay, and even lower morale. The Zaibatsu Corporation, still reeling from the expose' prior to the events in this wiki, could no longer maintain the White Knights and all but vanished.

- The White Knights were in the process of switching to smaller, specialized units with less emphasis on military structure when a series of riots broke out around Glitch City, made worse by the increasing economic and social disparity in the wake of the civil war. When a mysterious plague broke out from Glitch City Airport, White Knight riot teams, still fatigued from combating various fires around the city, were called to quell the "additional" riots spreading from the airport to the slums.

The GC Airport Terrorist Attack
Unfortunately, these were not rioters, but were techno-zombies, cyberized individuals who were infected by a powerful logic-virus which viciously took control of any inorganic, cybernetic life. When a defector from a certain major corporation reached the airport from parts unknown, the corporation decided to "test" a Techno-Organic Weapon (TOW) on the airport, by sending agents to infect the defector with the weapon. He soon died, and began to attack nearby individuals, spreading the contagion quickly throughout the airport. To make matters worse, the various entrances to the airport were detonated by explosives soon after patient zero was set loose, trapping most of the civilians inside.

- Not many people were thought to have survived the event, although security camera footage did watch as a certain cargo truck crashed through one of the glass windows leading outside to the airport runway. It miraculously survived the fall, and drove off, the zombies shambling in their wake.

- When the riot teams were later dispatched to stop the horde, they were completely destroyed- and the plague is thought to have spread out around the city, mostly infesting the Slums and poorer neighborhoods. With the loss of most of its remaining veterans, the White Knight organization ceased to be a significant military presence in Glitch City, and all new recruits tend to more closely resemble regular law enforcement instead.

District Chapel-3
One of several residential districts, Chapel-3 has some of the cheapest rates in the city, and it shows. Connected to the Slums, the majority of the district's citizens reside in the middle to lower classes, reflected in very few personal homes in favor massive, decaying apartments, micro-condominiums, and "coffin" hotels.

G.C. Airport (Destroyed)
Glitch City Airport was originally the main way to enter and exit the city proper, whether from space or from somewhere planetside. It was also the epicenter of a techno-zombie infestation that White Knight forces were unable to quell for months. Due to a combination of stigma and lack of finances, the airport, now a collapsed rubble, has yet to be rebuilt.

The Flooded District
The Flooded District is a bit of a mystery- For one, it isn't a district, but rather a part of the city comprising multiple districts flooded at some point in the past by an unknown event. Not many of the districts consumed by the water have any memorable traits to them, but somewhere in the location is Tellurium Hills, a high-tech, high-life location once known as the natural habitat of yuppie startup founders, food fadders and fans of gimmicky, overpriced toys and gadgets. In recent memory, however, the Flooded District has earned a name for itself for being where some of the weirdest shit in Glitch City occurs. From being a possible bioweapon testbed to the recent crash-landing of a spaceship stocked with alien weaponry there, there's no shortage of weird events and rumors with the Flooded District at the center. However, the District isn't all harm- It holds treasures that could possibly go for a high price in Glitch City proper.

KR4K-3N, a former bar now turned mini-marketplace, is stationed on the border here and has become a fairly well-used entry point into the District.

The Midnight District (heavily damaged)
Like its sister district Glitz, the Midnight District was reknown as a somewhat lower end nightspot and middle class residential/commercial zone, as well as housing a number of up and coming major corporations, including Ameritrade Robotics Corp. It was also the base of operations for several factions within Glitch City, but during a biological disaster, the entire district was cordoned off and flatly referred to as "The Zone" for a short time.

After the district fell victim to an orbital weapon discharge, the district was evacuated of what survivors and stragglers remained, and has not been repopulated since. An enormous, mutant tree husk remains at ground zero of the blast, occasionally visited by scavengers or curious scientists.

Megatower 1
A long abandoned tower full of strange technology seems to consume all who enter it. Literally. And it's trying to get out.

Tears in the Rain
What begins with an investigation into mysterious videos and missing persons escalates into a game of cat and mouse with deadly megacorps, diabolical businessmen, corrupt law enforcement, and technological nightmares that threaten to eviscerate the line between organic and inorganic. All memories will be lost in time... like tears in the rain.

UPLINK
On the surface, it's just another business in Glitch City; an excessively powerful database that can find almost anyone. Beneath the surface, it's a moneymaking tool that's more complex than any pyramid scheme. Beneath the UPLINK, it's a whole new world...

The White Lightning Safe Zone Effort
With Glitch City in shambles, a new corporate power, moving into the city in the wake of other foreign "relief" organizations, takes center stage to try and bring peace and order to the shattered communities. Will they succeed, or are they just another pawn in the Ogliarchy's game?

Black Collar Investigations
A group of Outsiders to the city that had come due to the Disturbance of Ameritrade Robotics Corporation (ARC). They are known as a special Anti-Magic Military Task Force to those who have managed to find out the information necessary to their Organization. Their sole purpose is the Collection and Management of Dangerous Magickal Artifacts that have appeared within the world when they fall outside of their Island Lands. They were called to Glitch City due to the ARC involvement and Capture of the Tree of Yggdrasil, a Causality Weapon that could change the nature of any area it is in. While Magick has most certainly died out due to the Huge Technological Advancements of Glitch City, the Black Collars come from an opposing area where Magick has become the source of life, which has shaped their abilities.

Known Members/Affiliates of the Black Collars are Listed Below.

-Markus Arx (Gold Knuckles) is the first known member of the Collars to have stepped into Glitch City. Commonly described as a large man at 6'2 and weighing in at a toned 190lbs with black medium-length hair and normally brown eyes (When he is actively putting effort into using his magical skills, his eyes change into a dark purple). He is Black Collar Rank VII, and is a specialist at close range combat, having mastered many different types of Martial Arts and Anti-Magic Capabilities. It has been hinted at that he too possess a Causality Weapon that was capable of Destroying the Tree of Yggdrasil, but it never had the chance of ever being used. Markus is currently still in the city, in case of any other Magickal Happenings or Beings that may appear within the City.

-Tarin Galerian (Ethereal Binds) is the first Partner and long time friend of Markus Arx. He is a similarly tall, yet more lanky man with bright reddish-orange hair, hazel eyes and a smile that would never leave his face. A Magical Scientist of sorts, he specializes in not only casting powerful spells usually seen in the form of Transparent Chains of varying colors, but also studying and applying Magical Artifacts. Was officially in Glitch City well before Markus was deployed and eventually caused the Tree of Yggdrasil to Activate in the Midnight District and cause the Hell that happened. All of this was thanks to the full Demon, Asmodeus, trapped inside of him that managed to escape due to his Seal Weakening and taking control of his body. Is currently in a tight Lock Down back where the Collars are from, as Ordered by the Leader, Aria Masters.

EDEN
A splinter group of the original White Knights, EDEN was a paramilitary force lead by a disgruntled former White Knights officer, "Eve," who sought to return to Glitch City and liberate it from QUINCY's control. Following a devastating civil war, the majority of EDEN's standing forces were annihilated, with their leader choosing to be executed rather than captured. There are unconfirmed reports of surviving EDEN members living in Glitch City.

UKoBIaNMC Military (Foreign Power)
Army forces of the United Kingdom of British Isles and New Moon Colonies. Upon the interstellar travel becoming commonplace United Kingdom government has turned their look to the stars, and declared the era of Neo Colonialism, upholding its ancient traditions of colonization. With UK's rapid expansion came growth and rise in power of their military. As of now, UKoBIaNMC is, essentially, a vast military dictatorship state. Whith December Riots snowballing out of control, prime-minister QUINCY pleaded to the UKoBIaNMC Colonial Governor Meyer Rosenbaum and Ambassador Ariel Blimm for help. As the result, UKoBIaNMC 79th Colonial Defence Regiment led by Major-General sir Albert Alexander Galahad has been dispatched to perform operation HAMMERDOWN, pacifying the city. As majority of the 79th CDR has finally left the city, only the Glitch City 1st Combined Arms Detachment is currently present.

Notable members:

—Jósef Kitsukian, UKoBIaNMC Special Reconnaissance Regiment, Colonel. Single son of a hungarian family that immigrated to England just before the Great Earthquake. 5'5" feet tall and already grey-haired despite being in his early 30s. Stern-faced and straight-forward in his approach, he often seen intimidating by others, without meaning to. Serving most of his life as the UK SRR battlefield medic, he is more than capable of both taking and saving lives. Had both palms of his hands replaced with military prosthetics in the beginning of his service. On his last mission his rebreather has been breached, leading to severe internal damage by unknown gas weapon. Is de-facto out of service.

—Jamie Colohan, UKoBIaNMC 79th Colonial Defence Regiment (currently GC 1st CAD), Sergeant. Vat-grown clone of the perished K-TRAN Corporation CEO. His brain rejected the memory dump of the CEO, deeming him useless as a body-replacement. Unique structure of his brain, however, at the same time made him interesting enough to the K-TRAN Board of Directors to leave alive. Capable of multi-tasking on par with some of the more advanced neural networks, he is able of keeping in mind hundreds of processes and whole situations, making him the very best in any coordination effort. Has escaped K-TRAN facility he was held in and has been taken in by UK SRR ever since. 5'9" feet tall, with extremely long blonde hair.

—Lily McKinsey and Richard Hawkins, UKoBIaNMC 79th Colonial Defence Regiment (currently GC 1st CAD), Corporals. The first ever pair of lilims to be accepted into the ranks of UK military. Sibling models, they are constantly referred to as "boys" or "guys" despite being male and female models.

—Levi Vincent, UKoBIaNMC 79th colonial Defence Regiment (currently GC 1st CAD), Lieutenant. Current commanding officer of the GC 1st Combined Arms Detachment, tasked with defence of the UK Embassy in the city and peace-keeping on the neighboring territories. Tall, 6 feet tall man in late twenties, with slightly sagging cheeks that got him "The Bulldog" nickname.

Ameritrade Robotics Corporation
Status: Headquarters destroyed by giant space laser, CEO and head researcher missing, presumed deceased.

Cyberdyne Corporation
Status: Inactive? Possibly defunct, leadership reported missing.

Geno Corporation
Status: Active, but several council directors victims of assassination.

Robincorp
"Solutions to all your problems- On the cheep!"

Robincorp is a newly-arrived corporation whose purpose seems entirely unknown (Though the name and slogan suggest it might have something to do with robins.) Since its arrival in Glitch City, Robincorp has made precisely zero attempts to announce itself or its presence, though it has an affiliate (who calls themselves "cheep" after the only word they know) who occasionally crops up on the board from time to time.

Voice Corp
"Voice the Future"
