Destructive Criticism



Contract Debriefing

Job Classification: Variable
Location: Japan
Contract Payment: 3 Credits
Bonus: 2 Credits, [Gadget] - Incinerator Rifle 
Contract Details:

"AI is our biggest existential threat as a race. Humanity must merge with machines or become irrelevant in an age of AI."
How accurate that statement is. Japanese robotics innovation KORA has been working on state-of-the-art adaptive robotic models, capable of performing a wide arrange of operations... with military capability being tested on their newest model. KORA recently shut down after an employee was asked one question; 'Does this unit have a soul?' As it is, these AI didn't seem to appreciate the answer and began a revolution inside the KORA manufacturing facility. To avoid a national crisis, KORA has contracted AGE to quietly take care of this issue. 

You are given a choice here, Agent. KORA insists upon the convenience of intelligent AI and asks that the primary and secondary data hubs be disabled, thus rendering all attached units inoperable. Doing so will award the agent with an experimental 'Incinerator Rifle' gadget; An experimental device that concentrates light into a high-temperature beam. Contains 3 charges and can similarly, though to a lesser effect, be used via conversion of direct sunlight.

A second approach, though condemned by KORA, is to reach the manufacturing belt and disable all machinery on the main floor. Doing so will at least ebb the flow of hostile AI being produced.

[2 unused weapon slots.] (Melee weapons are free, just a heads up, and this contract in particular has 3 available slots to use, though you can continue as-is if you prefer.)

[snowy happy]

(Would I have to buy melee weapons first?)

[Benzo]

(free slots, not free to buy. Meaning, a pistol takes up 1, your standard M16 and similar rifles take up 2. The 'AI' droids are more like miniature tanks with a shitload of .45 ammo. If you fight one, it'll take a few shots to gunk up the inner mechanisms.)

[snowy happy]

(uh, okay...? anyways, feel free to start it now.)

[Benzo]

(It just means you can load up on knives without affecting your carry limit, is all. But, got it.)

Lounging in the growingly familiar AGE HQ, you get a sense of déjà vu as you are approached by an AGE employee clutching a familiar manilla packet. Wordlessly handing it to you, he nods and departs, leaving you with the packet labeled Destructive Criticism in red across the front.
