T he framework for the Absolute Loyalties storyline. This is the basic flow of the story.
Framework:
You start out as a digipunk, lowly and coniving. You recieve information about "The Arc" from Optimus, an assasin from Predicon. However, moments after, you recieve this information:
Incoming message from For a while the computer tells you information about tasks you must do,
and you end up going to "The Arc", where a huge battle takes place.
After you destroy "The Arc" (which was a government created flying
saucer!) you get this from the Predicon computer:
They are here [[0.0xx0s.e00x..x They fou*% me&*@0.x.x00.

Systemwide e e e e crash immenant. Find
!#$U%!@#$42@#$&W*(XKLE(SIH#$%RW(XEJI
remote.host 404 not found
You dash off to the predicon computers location, all the way hearing
people talking about the new tourist attraction/themepark called the
Pan Elemental Stratus, a floating apparatus that has an antigravity
matrix. There is a football game in the GravityDome, a huge dome
situated on the bottom of the Pan Elemental Stratus. When you reach the
building, it is overrun by enemy units (cops, terrordrones) and you meet
Vegas, a hacker kid that works for your gang. He helps you out for the
rest of the game until the last couple missions, taking the job of the
predicon computer, to tell you what you're mission is, because the
Predicon Computer has been destroyed. You learn about the Pan Elemental
Stratus (liscensor: government, builder: Pan Elemental Inc.) being a
government plot to poison the air with a virus that attacks the CNS
(central nervous system) that turns the human race into a bunch of
mindless slaves. You head off to the PES (pan elemental stratus) and
destroy that (big spectacular scene). After which you learn that there
are 3 more such Pan Elemental buildings. The Pan Elemental Pacifica
(poisoning the water, floating in the water), P.E. Magmus (cooling down
the core of the earth, floating in a volcano), and P.E. Terras (causing
worldwide earthquakes, sitting in huge underground cavern) You destroy
these buildings in order (some 20 levels) and during this course you
learn that the government is secretely cohorting (used that in a
sentance) with an alien race that arrived 10 years ago (look at the
storyline on the webpage it has some stuff about that, what they thought
was a weapon was a transporter beam) to enslave the human race. You head
off to anchorpoint , the first spacestation outside of the inner ring of
planets, orbiting Neptune. Anchorpoint turns out to be the last of the
Pan Elemental buildings (Pan Elemental turns out to be the alien race's
cover-up). Anchorpoint aims a huge cannon at the earth, and destroys it
while you are on anchorpoint. The reason you can't stop it is because
you need to hit two buttons within ten seconds of each other, and it is
impossible. Turns out the generator that fuels the anchorpoint cannon
is a black hole, contained within the planet. You reach the edge of the
blackhole, and jump in. It transports you back in time (this is all
cinematic, you cannot control it) to the part where the cannon fires.
You are already there (you were there before, remember) and you and your
twin stop the cannon before it fires because you hit one of the buttons
and your twin hits the other. You disappear (because in this time
continuim you stopped the destruction of earth and never found the
blackhole generator) and your twin (from here on referred to as you)
escape in a ship that you find in anchorpoint. The alien race was all
stationed on planet neptune, along with the cohorting government
officials. The origonal government is restored. You get congratulated
by everyone, and become a hero. The end.
A piece of the Absolute Loyalties storyline.
Dawn. Light sweeping over the hills, and creeping over ravines,
through houses, and past me, with the sound of a ripping cloth. Light
as far as the eye can see. But this is not the light of the sun, but
the light of intense heat, and the incineration of the very event
horizon. I awoke with a start, lurching up in my bed, breath heaving.
Another nightmare.
I had been having these nightmares for weeks now, each one showing a
little more than the last. The day was then business as
usual.....hanging out with friends, pissing off a cop or two. As the
light faded and the time started to near 12:00 (my appointed ëbed timeí
by my internal clock) I headed home.
Dawn. Light sweeping over the hills, and creeping over ravines,
through houses, and past me, with the sound of a ripping cloth. Light
as far as the eye can see. But this is not the light of the sun, but
the light of intense heat, and the incineration of the very event
horizon.......this time I felt wind, intense wind, blustering past my
face. I looked and saw the city....burning.....everything
dying.......thatís when I knew. The world was going to end. I knew now
that I had to get out of the city....possibly out of the
country....panic stricken, I had gotten no farther than the city limits
when I was pulled over by the cops. They carted me off to jail for some
reason that I didnít really listen to, and I dreamed again that night.
This time the dream changed, with instead of me inside the city, me
outside of the city, an intense light sweeping accross the countryside,
barely missing the ground I was standing on......The next day I awoke
with a jerk. I found myself laying outside in the middle of a field.
Yellow and blue flowers bloomed and blushed around me. I had no idea
how I had gotten there, but I was there. I looked towards the city,
which was just in sight. Then I saw it.......at first a small light,
glinting in the sky. The light grew steadily larger, and larger, until
it hit the very earth itself. Incineration, just like my dream, was met
by my eyes. I fell to the ground, oh the heat, I saw nothing but red;
my blood pumping fiercly. Then it was gone. Everything stopped. I
heard only the sound of the wind, blowing in the hills. I looked toward
the city......and saw nothing. Bleak, black land. Where once was life
teaming now gone, distraut, the cycle of life gone awry. Nothing.
For years scientists struggled to explain this phenomenon....but no one
could. Deep down inside, I sorted it out amongst a large heap of
jumbled memories. I realized that about every 2000 years the world
ìrecyclesî itself. It killed the dinosaurs. I know now youíre saying
that they have been alive for more than 2000 years, but I have an
explanation for that. What happens is that this thing happens, it
affects all of the life on earth, and these beings eventually kill
themselves. Will this happen to us? No one could say.
