Grace

    by: expandor Author IconMail Icon
Grace Meadows, formerly of Shadow-Tech Inc, tossed and turned beneath her bedsheets as rain poured down outside, hammering constantly against her window sill. She hadn't been sleeping well lately. It had been one month since Grace stole company secrets from her former employers, Shadow-Tech, and she was now a wanted woman.

It had never been Grace's ambition to uncover any kind of seedy conspiracy at the company. While rumours of Shadow-Tech's illegal operations had persisted for years, Grace had never really paid much attention to them; she was thrilled to get a job with the company, and after being moved to the special projects division after her first six months there, it seemed as she had a bright future with them.

As her time in the special projects division continued, Grace had begun to grow more and more curious about her employer's shady activities. Eventually, Grace stole one of her colleague's security cards and used it to access the company's restricted section. What Grace discovered in the restriction section had shocked her to her very core. Shadow-Tech, the seemingly benevolent saviour of humanity, was conducting illegal experiments, vicious hostile takeovers and had, in fact, been responsible for the outbreak of the expansion virus hundreds of years ago.

Acting quickly, Grace made a copy of the information, but was forced to flee after being discovered by security guards. Her trangression was quickly reported to her superiors, who not only terminated her contract, but made her a wanted fugitive.

Grace grumbled as she tried to get to sleep. Since beginning her life on the run, she had left her home and moved into the city, where it was much easier to blend in. She was currently staying in the vast Metropolis that was San Francisco, one of the most build up cities on Earth. Looking for her here would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

At the moment, Grace was staying in an apartment deep in the city. It wasn't the fanciest place in the world, but it had been safe so far. Though it had been her intention to leave Earth and start a new life somewhere in the outer colonies, her wanted status prevented her from using any registered transports to escape the planet. She was effectively trapped on Earth.

Grace had, however, considered her options and started making plans to escape. She had spoken to a woman about getting transport on an unregistered ship which would take her away from Earth and she had been speaking to a mysterious contact who was interested in acquiring the files she had stolen. Grace had to decide what she wanted to do next...
