Something that can be changed out as easily as a light-bulb or traded in for a down payment on something newer and better, like you would a cell phone. Little by little, piece by piece, more and more of your skin, flesh, bone, and blood are taken away and replaced with wire, circuits, dermaskin, and lubricants. At what point does man stop being man and become machine? If all that remains is a memory chip can one really even be considered human anymore? If the only thing pumping now is a mechanical heart where does humanity lay? It has been ten years since the team was together. They trained, grew up, worked together for two decades. Then, one run, one very bad run and everything changed. You lose people, everyone does in this line of work. Sometimes it isn't so much that you lost someone but how they were lost that forever breaks what was once a unit that was unshakable. In the end you part ways and don't look back. Everyone has to make a new path, alone. Some stay in the business, some change completely, some just go underground and haven't been a blip on the radar in all these years. Something going on though and it's time to get the team back together. That is if you can find each other. One person is on the radar though. Sunie Marks never went underground or went under the radar. She retired and set up shop as a cyberwear and weapons developer. Customized items, specialized, to the highest bidder. No large quantities. One and done. No names. She doesn't want to know. She just wants to create. Thing is, every item needs to be tested. It's not hard to find volunteers but she doesn't risk it. What if it doesn't work? What if it does? No, little by little she has stripped away herself to be her own test subject. How much of her actually remains? Is she even the woman you once knew? Or is it only buried beneath the circuits and hardware? Or has a technology finally surpassed humanity?
