"I just reported a catastrophic transformer failure," Harley said, turning back toward the rain. "The grid will show zero consumption for this sector for the next forty-eight hours while they 'investigate.' After that, you’d better be gone." "Why help me?"

"Late on the bill, Jax," Harley said, his voice a gravelly monotone.

Harley paused. He looked at the diagnostic screens. Jax wasn't just mining coin; he was routing extra voltage to the nearby veteran clinics. It was a classic Robin Hood play in a city that usually hung heroes by their own capes. "You’re a terrible businessman, Jax," Harley muttered.

He disappeared into the mist, a ghost in a machine that never slept. If you want to see where Harley's journey goes next: His confrontation with the Syndicate enforcers. A deeper look into his past before the cybernetics.

A thin man with wires trailing from his temples jumped, nearly knocking over a canister of coolant. "Ferris! Look, I’m almost there. One more day and the data-mine pays out. I’ll double what I owe the Syndicate."

Tell me which path you'd like to explore, and I'll keep the story going.
