Game 0:
Background.
After several disagreement between the major partners
in Alliance Corporation, Arasaka and Millitech decide
to start thier Black Ops to kidnap scientist and steal
data on the Super Human Project. As a result, many
Alliance staff went missing and the Super Human
project was mismanaged, allowing the Super Humans to
stage an escape from the facility.
Within 24 hours, the Super Humans returned to the
facility to destroy Alliance Corporation. After
successfully sieging and destroying Alliance
Corporation facility and everyone within, the Super
Humans left with pieces of information on this company
and its origins. Everyone felt some sort of victory
and freedom, no more braindance (mindwipe) and
unnecessary tests and injections.(not that they
remember much)
The Super Humans are now determined to try to lead a
normal life, one which does not require taking orders
and mindwipes, one that does not require killing
people whom they do not know. But for people not to
know their existence, they would have to throughly
'clean up' everything.
Now, they have met each other and slowing discover the
purpose of their existence. This is the first time
their hair is allowed to grow on their heads, this
signifies a new beginning, a new found freedom, and
perhaps a better tommorow..

Game 1: 427, 808, 2152, 999, ..... are now in Europe
to track down the missing scientists.
Their first task was to keep a low profile and try to
blend in.
Start: A hostle was decided as the location of
residence. Everyone was out to rediscover the world
that they have missed. As they all decide that mugging
and robbing people is a bad thing. But as they require
guns, (Hey I have pistol skill, need pistol now!!) 4
was out to find the guns and managed to get the guns
from two unfortunate cops who crossed her path. When
she contacted the group that she has found the guns,
they went to the alley to meet her. A bobby that was
passing by sensed something wrong when he saw an empty
police car parked outside an alley with a large guy
outside. He decide to investigate and found two naked
men cuffed to each other (wrist to ankle) At this
time, the people inthe alley nonchalantly walked out,
totally ignoring him. The bobby felt outnumbered and
intimidated my the fearless Trio in the alley and
allowed them to walk away (one more later emerged
..808 from the dumpster in the alley).
2152 decides to find a 'dangerous' job and finally
tried to 'fight' to make a living, however he was much
distracted by pies.
999 could not find a married man, (however her plan
maybe...) found herself inthe suite of a wealthy
corporate who seems to enjoy her company. This
relationship was rather short lived as she punched his
face appaently when he was handing her expensive
champagne....(its the evil bubbles perhaps, but its
something that still remains a mystery till now) She
left the room with many of his possesions (and the
hotel's shampoo, towels and bathrobe)
427 managed to find work at a warehouse earning less
than minimun wages lifting crates of fruits around.
Some of them managed to find some income, some did
not, but everyone experienced a little bit of London.
