In a dystopian version of Earth, World War 3 resulted in a Nuclear Winter, wiping out nearly eight billion people and leaving the survivors in doomsday bunkers. Emerging from this catastrophe, scientists discovered Dysonite, a powerful new material that sparked rapid technological advancements. Humanity rebuilt within The Citadel, a dome-protected metropolis governed by a totalitarian regime led by The Council. In this harsh society, genetically modified Synths, like Saruei, were created for various roles, including military service.
Saruei, born in a lab under New Horizon’s control, underwent rigorous training and brutal trials. After surviving a deadly team fight, she received cybernetic enhancements, transforming her into a formidable bounty hunter. Her unwavering loyalty to New Horizon shifted when she was sent on a time-travel mission to locate Zeta, the elusive leader of the resistance group Ground Zero. However, a malfunction sent her to an alternate timeline. That timeline being our Earth.
Stranded in a world without the oppressive regime she knew, Saruei adapted to her new surroundings. She found solace in video games, comic books, and anime, and began streaming. Saruei created a new life for herself but her happiness was short-lived in 2025 as New Horizon eventually found and forcibly returned her to her original timeline, treating her as a traitor.
Zeta is the boss of a special armed forces unit known as Ground Zero, he has been monitoring Saruei for a while now and he wants to send his men to go get her and bring her to him.
You just can't let that happen, much like Zeta and New Horizon, you have your own army however your army is far more advanced as your soldiers have far better training, weapon and technology at their disposal.
Just like Zeta, you want to get your hands on Saruei. Sure Zeta may want Saruei to join him so she can fight against New Horizon and The Council to save the new world she has grown to love but you want to get there first.
Zeta, New Horizon and The Council have been pretty hostile towards you. Despite Zeta wanting to save the world he seems deadset on getting rid of you and your army. This is why you want Saruei, you don't necessarily need her but you want her because if you can get your hands on her before Zeta can then that will be a giant middle finger to Zeta and New Horizon and The Council.
