“What kind of a world is this?”
The shock of the ruthless act you just witnessed starts to sink in and temporarily paralyzes you. Anybody looking at you would assume one of your augmentations had malfunctioned, and caused a system overload.
But nobody cares.
It occurs to you that in a world like this, a friend might the only truly valuable thing to have. Maybe they could help you gather some spare parts. Or just have a little chat.
You remove the synthetic skin covering your wrist to access your phone module, and call your friend.
An unfamiliar voice answers.
Choices:
- You say, “Sorry, I must have misdialed.”
- You say, “Who is this?”
- You hang up without saying a word and leave the alley.
