(Mom) Chris, get down here. You will be late.
(Chris) I'm coming. I don't understand why you want me to work here, Technology is taking over, Mom.
(Mom) This is a family business. Your father put a lot of work into this convenience store before he passed away. We're just barely making it by anyway, so I can't afford to hire someone.
(Chris) Why haven't you applied to be taken into the walls?
(Mom) That takes money, Chris... something we don't have.
(Chris) Don't worry, I'll get the money *Raises arm*

(Chris) Hey, Trish, do you ever want to be a Tech Hunter?
(Trish) Of course, I would love to be a Tech Hunter, but we live in slums, do you think we'll ever be able to be Tech Hunter?
(Chris) Yeah, we definitely can. I heard that tech hunters need to know a lot about coding. so I'm learning it, so I can get a job as a coder. then they'll pick me to be a tech hunter.
I worked hard and got my position as a coder then life started to change...
(Boss) Hey Chris, you're going to have to get that coding job done today, have it in front of me by the end of the day.
(Chris) Okie dokie.
*Ring* *Ring* *Picks up Phone*
(Chris) Hello...
(Mom) Chris?
(Chris) Mom? When did you get my job phone number?
(Mom) I'm sorry Chris...
(Chris) What?
(Mom) The convenience store hasn't been doing too well the past few weeks. I'm on my last jar of funds.
(Chris) Wait what's going on?
(Mom) I can't pay for you to keep living out of the house.
After that call, I had to walk from my mom's house all the way to work and by the time I got there I would be sweating and I got fired since they didn't want someone that came in late, and smelled.
(Chris) What do we do now?
(Mom) I don't know I thought that we would have some more time.
(Chris) I only got a social score of 4, which isn't enough to put us inside the walls.
*Knock Knock*
(Mom) Can you get the door?
(Chris) Yes...
*Opens door*
(Tech Hunter) Hello, are you the owner of this building?
(Chris) Mom! There's a tech hunter here.
(Mom) I'm coming! Hi...
(Tech hunter) Are you the owner of this building?
(Mom) Yes, I am.
(Tech Hunter) Hello, I was sent by OwnTech Solutions Inc. And we are planning on Wiping this place out and rebuilding the area as part of the wall. But we need your permission. We will only be bringing one person into the wall per owned building.
(Chris) Mom that's great news.
(Mom) Sorry, but I'll have to decline the offer.
*Closes Door*
(Chris) What are you doing, that's what we wanted.
(Mom) I know you want us to go, but he said only one person per building meaning only one of us is going. I want you to go, but I know you want me to go.
(Chris) You're right, but I would have a high chance of surviving out here since I'm so young, you're practically bones.
*SMACK*
(Mom) Are you calling me old? besides how long do you think I have left, even if I'm allowed in there how long do you think I'll live for?
(Chris) You dont know maybe they have some kind of tech to make you live longer.

(Boss) it won't matter we'll be back anyway... just finish the rounds.
(Chris) *Snoring*
*Sound of movement in the house, smell of burning wood*
(Chris) What the *sniffs* theres a fire!
*I ran down stares to my mom's room, there was a metal wall blocking the way to my mom's room, I ran outside around to the side of the building where my moms room was, it.. was.. gone... the house blew up in flames*
*Machine walking near me* *i turn around to see a tech hunter*
(Tech hunter) You in unauthorized area, leave or i will be forced to use lethal weapons
(Chris) *What, wait im so confused*
(Tech hunter) Lethal weapons authorization complete *a red laser shooting from his finger*
*I dodged to the side, the red laser cut the building in half, i ran towards the forest, i hear gun shots, screams, but i know if i turn around ill be killed, i made it to the forest, ny arm stings, i cant see it, ill keep running, i ran till i found something cold on my foot, i fell into a hole in the ground*
(Chris) My arm hurts so much *getting up and touch a wall*
[Welcome to borderkinds]
*Bright lights turn on, its a ruined hallway, with vines coming out of everywhere, i started walking through the halls, my arm is beat up bleeding everywhere*
(Chris) What is this place, it feels super advanced but it looks like its been here for , thousands of years, i dont know where im going
*I walked aimlessly, i found a room call the medical center, but it was completely bare of anything, i kept walking till i came to a room called security, suddenly*
[Zzzzch]
(Chris) Electricity? And that robotic voice from when i came, what is this place?
*I walked into the room, it was just as empty as the whole place, I'm losing to much blood, my vision is getting shaky, I fell on the floor, from the corner of my eye I see a floor tile slightly moved*
(Chris) why is their a bright light down here
*Falls*
(Chris) Oww, that hurt.
*I looked around the room and seen a pedestal and a light flickering on and off above it*
(Chris) A bean?
*I touched the bean on the pedestal, it had 4 small robotic legs come out, it jumped on to my arm*
(Chris) Huh?? Get off me, OW!
*It dug its self into my arm, the pain was more painful than anything ive ever felt*
*Passed out*
