Chapter 1- The Future :
"A brief history of the dawn
of Cybernetics and its effects on The post pandemic economic boom of the world's robotic industry"
Omnicon was the future of cybernetic engineering in the early 2000's. CEO Oswald Plant had seen his company grow from a computer chip mfg. business to a successful cybernetic giant in just 13 years... making the technology, the link between the human brain, and the key missing part that evaded many a genius mind, the "C.A.B.L", an A.I. system that controlled advanced cybernetic servos and gears to make Omnicons biggest seller work... the cybernetic prosthetic body part. C.A.B.L stood for Cerebral and Bionic Link. You see unlike the past where you lost a body part in an accident or by mutilation, you were screwed. You had to learn to live crippled. But with Oswald Plant and his genius team of scientist, this past no longer existed. He alone was mankind's saviour.
Chapter 2-The Past pt. 1
The Brotherhood of the
Nightwalker
Floyd Finkle was an older fit man of 38 years of age. He proudly wore his uniform every morning to work for over 16 years, and he had the honor of being Omnicon's most senior employee, there since day one. He helped an old Army Ranger buddy start his business from the ground up. He and Oswald were in special forces together during the Solarian Wars where a pandemic like no other brought the world to a crawl and destroyed economic growth all over the world. There was hunger and famine. Militias popping up faster than a leader could be found to run them. Violence exploded from internal tension between hot headed power hungry general's. Oswald and Floyd were who you would call to take out the garbage, the human piles of shit no one misses.
After years of fighting side by side Oswald retired top honors from the Ranger Company. Shortly after Floyd followed suit. Now that the Solarian war was a thing of the past what was an ex-commando to do? How can a fighting machine find peace after so much ugliness? Oswald Plant had a vision, a vision that would erase or at least take the edge off his PTSD. A vision of health and wellness. A vision of making veterans and people born without limbs able to function like individuals with no handicap.
About two weeks into his retirement, Floyd gets an unannounced visit from no other than Oswald Plant himself. He asked how civilian life was treating Floyd. "Ok, I guess. I've been shooting pigeons off the balcony for a couple of hours." Floyd had a little tremor in his hand, voice and legs. Oswald didn't pay people visits just to shoot the shit, he was here on business. What kind?, who's to say. But Floyd was all ears.
Chapter 3- The Past pt.2
The Proposal
"It has been a long time since both of us have been in any kind of civilian job, but I started this company after the Solarian war and with a little luck it turned into a multi-million business providing State of the art prosthetic body parts that are so real, there's nothing a body mod can't do that a real human body part can do, and it does it 10 X's better. The science lies in the chip inserted into the mother board in the brain. The signals get translated smoothly to electrical impulses that trigger more natural muscle stimulation than just sending a current into the body where it flops around uncontrollably.
You see Floyd, "I am a very important person and a patriot and I want an old buddy by my side, through thick and thin like the movie Lethal Weapon. A classic movie of the easy times called the 80's. Oswald was a big classic film buff. I need someone who is willing to take a bullet for me because it's their job, it's what they are hired to do. I need a head of security. I need you, your expertise. I got security but they are not special forces trained. Some have police and Swat training, but not your skillset.
So, what do you think about my offer. Floyd threw the idea around in his brain a bit before answering. "Still with Millie,?"asked Oswald sounding like a hopeful runner up for her attention.
Tell her Oswald said hi.
Think about it. Call me with your answer tomorrow. Enjoy your day. The Year was 2025. Floyd was 38years old.
