It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

It almost took her sanity and her life. -Planted- "This is amazing. You're really great at writing." -Fen Been sitting on this one for a long time. Enjoy a new edit! - Preview - Its strange form was silhouetted by the flickering light coming from the living room. Enid let out a soft gasp, stopping herself from screaming, and immediately backed up to get out of the creature's vision. It had already turned around, its large faceted eyes surveying her. It held up its hands and glanced toward the living room as she stumbled back into her room and slammed the door shut. She listened to the clicking of the thing's feet as it moved into the living room and back to her door. "Get out!" she yelled through the door, scurrying over to her bed and grabbing up her revolver. When she moved back to the door, she could hear some soft tapping but it wasn't the sound of it walking away. She screamed again. "Get out!" No response. Enid took a deep breath and slowly pulled the door open before swinging it wide and lifting her gun up to aim at the thing's chest. The creature backed up a step, lifting its clawed hands, one of which was holding a white screened tablet. Enid took another step forward, forcing the thing to take a step backward as it slowly moved the tablet toward her. "Out," she growled, ready to squeeze the gun's trigger. The thing pressed the device toward her and she finally glanced down at it. It had printed on the bright screen in capital, black letters: FRIEND
