Neon Lazarus: The Resurrection Protocol
Mission Intel: Neon Lazarus: The Resurrection Protocol
Mission Briefing & Narrative Synopsis
A cynical memory harvester probes a dead socialite's final synaptic echoes, only to find her suicide was an elaborate trap to overwrite his mind.
High above the rain-soaked sprawl in the Chrysalis Spire, Detective Silas investigates the apparent suicide of an elite heiress. Connecting his neuro-probe to her spinal bridge, he enters her final minute of memory—only to discover that her reflection pulled the trigger. Before he can sever the link, the Lazarus Protocol activates, overwriting his neural architecture from the inside out.
Chrysalis High-Altitude Spire // Sky-District Sub-04
Towering thousands of meters above the toxic particulate fog of the lower districts, the Chrysalis Spire offers pressurized suites, filtered synthetic pine oxygen, and floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass overlooking the megacity's storm clouds. Down in the drainage gutters, vagrants bleed for salvage copper; up here in the ivory spires, oligarchs and executives die wrapped in emerald silk and biometric encryption.
Transhumanist Inquiry: The Trojan Consciousness
Neon Lazarus interrogates the vulnerability of direct neural interfacing. In an era where human cognition is quantifiable data, can an investigator ever trust their own sensory inputs—or does every extraction run the risk of opening one's psyche to a permanent, irreversible foreign occupant?
Classified Hardware & Cyberware Specs
A black-market invasive neuro-probe capable of bridging with fresh cadavers within sixty seconds of clinical demise. It converts residual synaptic charges into immersive cognitive projections before cellular brain rot permanently wipes cortical neural paths.
A banned transhumanist bio-weapon disguised as passive biometric memory. Once an external netrunner or investigator connects an optic bridge, the payload inverts bio-signatures and initiates a hostile takeover of the host's motor functions, neural chiasm, and personal identity.
Faction Intelligence & Threat Matrix
A high-tier dynasty of bio-tech magnates known for funding illegal cognitive continuity experiments and utilizing synthetic surrogates to extend lifespans indefinitely.
Underpaid, cynical detectives armed with outdated neuro-decks and thermal firearms, contracting for private arbiters when municipal marshals refuse to ascend the corporate spires.
