Hardwired - Staying Connected is Killer
The Landscape
Knoxville - At one time, a midsized city nestled in the foothillsof the Great Smoky Mountains. Now, it's surrounded by a wall and people are clawing at the gates to get in.
Oak Ridge - The secret city of the nuclear age is once again shrouded in mystery. This is where Palisade is located.
Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary - Maximum security. Almost escape proof. Closed in 2008. Isolated in the thick, overgrown woodlands of the Cumberland Plateau. Water from the underground creek beneath it seeps through the old stones, slowly wearing away the foundation.
The Players
Mary: A waitress. Living like so many of us, day-to-day, resigned to the fact that she'll never experience anything other than the rut. Extraordinary in her ordinariness.
Jonah: Mary's brother. A child musical prodigy before the wave. Now, he's mech, and leader of one of the many gangs which rule the streets.
Nick: A street rat. Looks out for numero uno. If you want it, he can get it...for a price.
Dex: One of the first guys to go mech. He worked for Palisade as a controller. Now, he recruits.
Ursula, Stran, & Corrine: Members of an underground organization opposed to Palisade.
