Vigilant Myst (Archived)

Cyberpunk-Based This is a story about a mercenary who has no understanding of how he ended up in the dumpsters, with a little help and guidance by his mercenary friends, Mayne and Bolt. This mercenary has no purpose neither no mission relating to understanding his past. All that matters is that he makes a name for himself in the futuristic city of Nomalan. Throughout his life, he makes allies, makes enemies and pisses off the higher ups with what he does. Actions that oddly sound familiar to a former vigilante. This story takes place in the UNDERDOGS universe.

"Do you remember the news report about Simon Glem's death... Well, I have to something confess... Please enter the room." Baxter clapped his hands and Glem appeared behind the door, leaving Ted in shock, "I know what you are thinking... Why is he alive? Well, it's best if Glem explained it to you." Glem sat on an opposite chair and explained to Ted why he wasn't dead, "The fame here is utterly painstaking and I haven't had a chance to go back to my home in WestMuck to see my late granduncle Yaz... I originally went to his grave but now... It was hard visiting his grave with so many paparazzi up my backside... But after my death, I was planning to escape Normalan and never return." Ted asks, "why can't you?" Glem shows an email made from an anonymous photographer, "they say that they have images of me alive and they even have the dates to prove it... I'm scared not for me but for anyone else he may have gotten to... So that's why I want you to find out who this photographer is and see if anyone else has fallen prey to this malevolent soul..." Ted was unsure he wanted to be involved and that's why he confessed what he did, after listening to Ted's confession, he concluded.

"I see... Well, despite that situation, I am willing to give people like you another chance of redemption and you're lucky it was with me because if it was with Lance then you would be done for... I'll allow you to slide as long as you help us." Ted felt vindicated that he was given another chance but wanted to know if he was to do it alone, "Am I allowed to bring my partners into this? Or is this a one-man job?" Baxter replied, "I don't see interest in calling your partners as I see interest in you and that's why I'm unfortunately going to say that this is a 'one-man job'. I hope you understand."

Ted understood and took the job, "excellent, please do find this person, I can't imagine the terrible things they could be doing... I'll leave you to it." Ted thought in his mind about how he was an idiot for accepting the job as he had no clues, to begin with. He looked through the photos that the photographer sent and found it hard to find anything useful. That was when he received a call from Mechsmith, "Ted? Oh, thank goodness you're alive! My associates told me that the spec was not there and that she abandoned you... I would like to be the first to apologize on her behalf, if there is anything we can do to help, please notify me." Ted saw this opportunity and asked, "maybe you could help me with this... I'm trying to look for a certain photographer but I'm no tech expert..." Ted sent the images and Mechsmith examined them, "Hmm, I'll see what we can do."
