The Struggle For Part-Life

Backstory
By the year 2295, almost all of the Earth's resources have been depleted. The average soil is as fertile as a vacuum. The planet has fortunately, not been polluted to hell, but is still a mess. If you're lucky, you will find a nice, clear lake. Most people aren't.

Now, three of the largest companies in the world, Articolus Technology Corporation, the Robotics Institute of Carthas, and Pohatu Industrial, have taken over most of the main stream of resources in and out of Anthros city , the second largest city in what used to be the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico, and is now the North American Unity. These three companies also control most of the trade around the world. However, the PLF (People's Liberation Force) does not support the experiments of RIoC and Pohatu Ind, and are beginning to rise against them. ATC's support of the rebels has lead RIoC and Pohatu Ind to ally and become what is now known as the "Machina Supremacy."

Now, everybody is going at each others throats. Riots will unexpectedly break out on the streets, mining shafts sabotaged, and robots will break down and malfunction. The PLF has just secured a position in Anthros city, and are waiting to strike.

What will you do in this time of crCIA?


Company Bios:

ATC: Articolus Technology Corporation
A general augmentation and human enhancement company, and one of the cheapest. This company is one of the largest augmentation companies around, and supports the PLF. This company is, indeed, one of the largest suppliers for the rebellion. Articolus's head, John Rafis, is actively supporting the PLF and backing them at all times.

RIoC: Robotics Institute of Carthas. May the building be deep within the industrial area of the city, it's no laughing matter. All that enters and exits are robots, unless you manage to sneak in, and the robots you're going to have to get past are fighters. You'll be fine if you're a friend however. Within the RIoC building, doctors attempt to make the perfect human out of nuts and bolts, but little as they know, the robot running the place is slowly taking control of whatever human life may remain. Enter at your own risk, for there is practically an infinite supply of fighting robots waiting to get out and cause trouble, because nothing will stop the RIoC from creating a human that doesn't have the annoyance of everyday life. Praise your future leader. Praise the robot lord.

Pohatu Industrial: The general mining company. It's known for supplying ROiC with it's needed resources from the ground. However, It takes some of the mined resources and puts it into it's strong military force. Pohatu Ind.'s military defenses and force is strong, even protecting it's mines incase of attacks that could damage mining production.

PLF: The People's Liberation Force. A rather large group of rebels willing to risk their lives to stop the reign of terror imposed by the Machina Supremacy. Funded and supplied by the ATC, these rebels are surprisingly well-fed, well-armed, and well-augmented. Many a time, PIoC and Pohatu troops were taken by surprise at the impressively trained forces of the PLF.

POST EXPLAINING WEAPONS BECAUSE WE NEED A UNIVERSAL CANON

PLF Weaponry
Melee:
Charge Knife/blade: This weapon is a blade which folds up like a Swiss Army knife, except the the blade is made of a very sturdy alloy with a melting point of over 4,000*C. The reason for this is the charged plasma field near the edge of the blade, allowing the weapon to cut through flesh easily. The handle is made of a similar alloy, albeit having a lower melting point, but this alloy absorbs heat and can dissipate it very quickly. The blade uses heat to generate the field, so it has indefinite use. Designed by Alex Aroth, a few people in the PLF own this weapon, including Alex.

Charge Sword: There are only two of these that exist, one is used by Alex and the other by the PLF leader, AKA the same person who leads ATC. It's like the charge sword, except the alloy in this one is much lighter, and the blade is about two and a half feet long. Very deadly.

D-10 Shock Blade: This electrified blade has a handle covered in rubber, and can deal serious damage to a victim's nervous system. Used by some of the higher-ups in the PLF. The alloy used in this knife's blade is very conductive, and is also very durable.

PLFK-1: Standard issue knife used by troops in the PLF. Very sharp, and designed to penetrate metals, no matter how tough. Made from an incredibly durable alloy, the blade can be used for weeks without sharpening, and still pierce through a solid block of iron.

Shock Tablet: This can be found attached to some of the PLF troop's gloves. This weapon, when used, sends 500,000 volts of electricity into the victim, enough to disable most robots on contact. Unfortunately, this weapon can only be used three times before running dry and needing a battery exchange.

RIoC Arms
Melee:
Coconut Buster: A large club, very weighty.

Shake 'n' Bake: A tazer, charged by shaking it.

Pewter: It's an over-glorified laser pointer, basically.

Pohatu Industrial Armory
Melee:
CS-28W (Chainsword Whip): A large steel chainsaw, in the general shape of a sword, with the chain being contained within a drum barrel. The chain is made of a deadly alloy and has teeth on each link, making this blade much deadlier.

Ranged:
Gearshot: Essentially a laser shotgun, firing a spread shot of superheated plasma that travels almost instantaneously to it's target.

Civilian Weaponry:
Hi-Ten 19: A small civilian pistol with 12 round magazines. Fires .40 S&W rounds, with hollow-point ammo being exclusive to bodyguards.

TA-28: A small civilian Sub-machine gun, restricted to semi-auto. The standard magazine contains 35 rounds, with hollow-point available to civilians for about one credit per bullet. Fires 9MM rounds.

XU-01: Civilian assault rifle, can be set to either burst or semi-auto. The standard magazine contains 30 rounds, with hollow-point ammo being restricted to police. Fires 5.56 caliber rounds.

Let the games begin.

"Joe, don't panic, we'll be fine!" I muttered to my floating ball of metal. "Hey, we could die out here!" Joe shouted. "It's a city, sure it's full of violence, but that doesn't mean we can't cause a little trouble ourselves." I said, scanning the roads for something. "What are we even looking for?" Joe asked. "A truck full of minerals fresh from the mines. We're going to run it off the road and take it for ourselves. It makes a great fuel." I explained. "Isn't that, dangerous?" Joe asked. "Sure it could kill us, but hey, small loss if you die." I joked. "What?" Joe asked. I pulled him over to me and pointed his head in the direction of the truck I was looking for. "There it is, let's get down there and run a truck off the road." I said as I pulled Joe to the stairs of the building.

[*FacePalm*]

Meanwhile, David lay, tied up behind piles of minerals in the back of a Pohatu Ind. truck. Across the piles of minerals was a guard android, armed with a Gearshot, looking out the back of the truck while holding onto one of the sides.

kthx

maybe if I could push the pile further, he'll fall out... David thought.
he slowly began to push the piles towards the back, against the android.

I was taking a stroll, it was near midnight. I probably should've stayed away from the RIoC building, but whatever. It would've been a normal night, a few people walking around, the rest too scared to leave their houses, but I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, a boy and a floating robot. He didn't seem to notice me as of yet, to I sorta listened in on the conversation the boy was having with his floating robot. I heard, "...looking for?" I was surprised to hear it from the robot, and not the boy.
The boy responded with, "A truck full of (Jokey's post explains the rest)
I looked up when the boy said that he had found a truck. "This is could be dangerous..." I muttered underneath my breath. I remained behind the alley where I was hiding, trying to think of what to do. I decided confronting them was a bad idea. The boy looked armed, and the robot could probably kill me with that helicopter rotor. Still, I had to stop them. What to do..., I wondered.
