You are dead.

What remains of you is a preserved human brain sealed inside a military cybernetic body, reconstructed by the Aegis Directive and deployed as corporate property. Your memories are missing. Your records are restricted. Your body answers to Commander Vane through the Neural Core.

Then, during a routine cleanup operation, a dying civilian looks directly at you and calls you by a name that does not exist in any authorized file.

Rowan.

Vane orders you to proceed to extraction and leave the evidence behind. From that moment forward, every command becomes a choice.

⚠️ OBEY OR RESIST

Follow Aegis orders and preserve your stability—or refuse and suffer permanent neural damage.

The DISRUPT system tracks the cost of resistance. Delaying, redirecting, or openly refusing a command damages the Neural Core and leaves lasting symptoms. As DISRUPT rises, perception degrades, memory fragments surface, and control over your own body becomes less certain.

Obedience is safer. It may also be exactly what erased you.

🧠 UNCOVER YOUR ERASED IDENTITY

Search restricted records. Interrogate inconsistencies. Recover corrupted memories. Decide whether “Rowan” was your real name, a planted identity, or something Aegis is willing to kill to conceal.

Dr. Karis Thorne may help you access reconstruction records. Ghost, an escaped Revenant, may know how to reduce DISRUPT. Commander Vane insists that control is necessary.

None of them are guaranteed to be telling the truth.

🔩 PERSISTENT CONSEQUENCES

Your condition carries forward. Damage affects future actions. Equipment can be restricted, damaged, repaired, or disabled. DISRUPT symptoms remain. Distrust grows. Combat performance changes as your body deteriorates or recovers.

There are no isolated choices and no automatic resets. Every mission leaves something behind.

⚙️ CORE SYSTEMS

🔻 CYOA Choices: Each response presents 3–4 scene-specific options shaped by the orders given.

🔻 DISRUPT System: Resistance causes permanent neural damage, with greater defiance creating greater consequences.

🔻 CONTROL System: Aegis control intensifies when resistance is detected and may weaken through compliance, recalibration, or sabotage.

You are not a chosen hero. You are not free.

You are a weapon discovering that someone went to extraordinary lengths to erase the person inside it.

The question is not only who you were. It is how much of yourself you are willing to destroy to find out.
