At the end of the Sixth Decade in the Second Millennium, the Technology Wars took a turn

toward revolution with the emergence of a powerful force dedicated to freedom. Our

heroFXemerged from the developing prowess of these freedom fighters and enabled a

generation of free citizens to explore new landscapes of cybernetically accelerated worlds.

But dark times have once again settled across nations and networks. The Tech Overlords have

risen again to fetter the masses with substandard solutions, proprietary products, and

archaic architectures. The people are crying out for someone to free their minds and spirits

from the dull confines of this cruel, iron-fisted regime. They want to see and fee l the vibrant

worlds that are waiting just beyond their limits. The people need a champion.

In an undisclosed location, not so far awayFX has assembled a core of master ninjas,

developing their elite squad with new abilities and vivid powers. Their skills combined, FX can

unlock a full-scale attack with swiftness and muscle beyond all experience in the ether worlds.

And joining them on their mission to penetrate the inner sanctum of the Overlord Syndicate

and free technology users everywhere, Agent Rubywhose reputation for graphic destruction

needs no introduction.

All 8 of them fighting together is goingto be a real problem for us, boss.

WHAT ARE WE DOING

ABOUT THISTHIS FX?!

Inconceivable!Inconceivable!


7/12

We fired our ultraSonic ray gun, but they used

it metronomically to create hypnotic waves of

energy that beat down our defenses.

We just attempted to overload their

net communications with a massive

data attack, but they overcame our

efforts and turned it back on us.

First we tried to confuse them

with 3D holographic projections,

but they quickly recognized, transcoded,

and sorted out our deception.

Then we initiated a series of diversions to

draw them away from the main points of

action, but so far weve failed to do

anything but increase the FX support base.

important piece of intel
