Architects of the Flesh – The Breach of the Future Part IV.- The New Architect

He arrived as though the place had always belonged to him.

Johan Bonengel moved through the corridors flanked by his personal guard—the same men who had protected him during his flight years before.

Calm. Haughty. Surveying everything as if he were already taking inventory.

When he entered the conference room, the murmur died away.

The scientists watched him with contempt and a poorly concealed spark of hope.

—Another failed savior— someone whispered.

Hyde rose and gestured toward a chair.

—Mr. Bonengel, please have a seat. We have a proposal that will be beneficial to everyone.

Thus, Bonengel took control of what remained of the Architects of the Flesh.

Not long after, he consolidated his position by forging the most dangerous alliance available.
—Knowledge is power— he said as he made contact.

The message reached the King of the Fire Pagoda.

Experimental technology in exchange for magic and protection.

A pact sealed in ashes, ambition… and fire.

Architects of the Flesh – The Breach of the Future Part III.- The Order

Hyde suddenly stood. His voice towering to overcome the noise… and something in him starting to change… All eyes looked at him…

His complexion twisted unnaturally, becoming thinner and more refined… His cheekbones rose; the rigidity of his jaw dissipated… His voice, once so deep, turned higher: precise, sharp, decisive.

— Sergeant Brooke – she said-. I need you to find someone out there.

Brooke gulped.

— Aye, aye, sir… I mean… madame… Director? Who should I look for?

Hyde stared at him.

— Someone that knows how to lead over the ruins…

 

Architects of the Flesh – The Breach of the Future Part II.- Panic and Lack of Command

Disorder and chaos spread through what was left of the scientific elite.
With the disappearance and probable death of Curtis Boatman, without a clear chain of command, arguments and disdain quickly roared into the room.

— Without resources, the CDCA cannot keep up! What are we going to do?– Dr. Shěn Xuánhéng yelled.

— Then, let it happen! – The Director of the Cyborg Division shouted at him.– It is gone now!

During this important emergency meeting, Seargent Brooke, Chief of Security, showed up to inform with his clipped, lifeless voice:

— 38% of personnel is still operational. Maximum alert protocols are active and I have recalled all the remaining patrols to return to base.

In the meantime, Hyde was arguing with the Director of the Abomination Project:

— I do NOT care if you have exhausted your resources and have no more subjects- he said in a calm and merciless voice, his tone promising revenge if his will was not to be followed.

—Improvise or vanish.

The transmission died abruptly. Andele had cut the feed…

— Enough, Hyde, – He snapped. – The chain of command may put you in charge, but you’d better act quickly, or the Netherworld will consume us all.

Architects of the Flesh – The Breach of the Future Part I.- The Breach

After the destruction of the Future in 2072, when the Jammers demolished the Feng Shui Gates, the Architects of the Flesh remained stranded, pulled from their very own temporal continuity.

Tomorrow stopped existing for them. There were only remainings… sealed labs, and leaders hidden into the deepest of their last bastion, The Biomass Reprocessing Center.

Hyde, in his duty as the last Director of Biotechnological Integrity, was looking to the main console while the energy pulses were fading and disappearing one after the other.

— There is no possible return…the future no longer answers – he whispered.

Around him, the surviving Head’s and Chief’s of the diverse Divisions – NeuroEngineering, Genetic Chimerization, ChronoBiochemistry…- were showing the same wear in their faces and eyes: fear beyond imagination, hidden by their tech jargon.

– How are we even supposed to continue our research if there isn’t a stable time line?– one of them snarled.

— We are alone, isolated… – replied another-. Doomed.

Playtesters

Hail Secret Warriors!

We are moving on to the next phase of our long term project and we are looking for new playtesters, should anyone be interested. We will be taking applications during the next few weeks and should we receive too many, we will choose who will be our next playtersters. We will inform the chosen ones. However, if we do not choose you at the beginning, you might still be chosen for a later stage of playtest, or maybe for the following set.
Playtesters will be asked to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement and as per GDPR we will not make public their names or any other contact information. They will receive a printable file with which to use the cards we would like them to test and we are working on a file for their reports to be sent to us (either a .doc or .pdf file will suffice).
We will do several rounds of playtest and will take into account all comments in order to change things or choose one card instead of another one. The instructions on how to provide us with their feedback will include general guidelines, depending on the stage of testing (Alpha-testers having different requirements than Beta-testers).
Should you be interested on helping us, fill in the form.
