Description
A City in Turmoil...
The year is 2045. The place is the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area
(GLAMA). The threat: Tek. The most psychoactive mind alterant ever devised
by the human mind is peddled daily on the streets of the inner city. This
trade resists all efforts by the poorly funded local authorities to halt its
distribution, and it brings in enormous wealth for those in control: the
TekLords. The mafia kingpins of the 21st century, the TekLords have divided
the city into seven boroughs to minimize infighting and maximize their profit.
A New Threat...
Recently, an informant within the organization of TekLord Sonny Hokori, the
most powerful TekLord in the city, has come forth with a story too
frightening to ignore. He swears that the TekLords have put aside their
differences to increase the level of Tek addiction to disastrous proportions.
Their vehicle: the Matrix. Nicholi Petrovski, a noted cyberbiologist and
Miyoshi Nakahara, a Nobel prize winning cyberneticist have mysteriously
disappeared. It is believed that their skills are being used by the TekLords
to develop a means to distribute Tek across the Matrix. This would addict
the hundreds of thousands of people who use the Matrix in their daily
business; and once the flow of Tek on the Matrix is stopped, these addicts
will rely on the TekLord Consortium in the physical world to get their fix.
Recently Thawed....
Who will save the city from this enslavement? You will. An ex-cop framed for
dealing Tek, you have spent the last five years in cryogenic suspension in an
orbiting prison platform called "the Freezer". When you return to earth you
discover that you have been granted a 'special parole' on the condition that
you work for Walter Bascom, head of the Cosmos Detective agency. You must
investigate the efforts of the TekLords to use the Matrix and find a way to
stop them. If you succeed, thousands of innocents escape the mind-ravaging
effects of Tek. If you fail, the addiction spreads, but you won't see that in
the freezer..
