(Backdrop of a decaying city, in early stages of rebuild, cutting to a rotting, falling apart arcology..panning down, we see a sign, burned and beaten, reading..."GENOM")
2030, MegaTokyo, Japan
Narration: A city rocked by a fallen giant, healing itself.
(People out in the streets, rebuilding, scurrying around, the view is from a window in an office, an old one..looking almost like something out of Blade Runner, a hand closes the blinds and picks up a phone, pulling back to see a rough, yet handsome face with brown hair.)
"Eddie Nash."
"I have a job for you, Mr. Nash. from a Ms. Priscilla Asagiri."
"I'll take it."
Narration: A memory to horrible to forget, and too painful to remember...
(Cut to a rather familiar biker lady sitting in Ed's office. One leg crossed over the other.)
Priss: You were there when the rest were killed...
Eddie: That's right....
(Black and White flashback, a black clad and battered Eddie Nash staggering around an almost demolished office floor, remains of freshly dead armored bodies strewn around, save one barely moving in a corner, also severly hurt)
Priss: It was horrible..
Eddie: I've never been able to forget it...
Priss: But something HAS come up...
Eddie: (raising an eyebrow) Hm?
Priss: (looking straight at Eddie) Sylia may be alive..
(eddie's eyes go wide...*fade out*)

a story by nathan lowery
In my mind...it's all the same.
I'm holding the head of a young girl, around 18 or 19. Her dead eyes stare up accusingly at me. Like I was responsible for her demise.
Or maybe she's saying with her gaze that I should have done more. But with the armor these people were wearing, I don't think so.
Another girl lies in a corner, also in armor. The lower half of her body is about 20 feet away from her. Before she died I think she saw it, that's why she was reaching out for it. I felt horrified as I saw her.
Not half as horrified, though, as the girl's head which had flown into my lap after the boomer struck her. My gaze follows the only other living thing in this place. A nice chunk of her leg is torn out, and she's thrashing around in pain....
I'm hidden in a wrecked office, right next to a wall. THe Knight Sabers have just had their asses severely kicked by a bunch of boomers. I was merely in GENOM'S offices spying. No harm there is there?
I drop the girl's head. And run over to the one in blue and red armor because she's still alive. I can tell it's a she because even though she's making pain noises like some sort of animal. I rip my shirt off, showing evident bruises on my chest, and wrap it around her leg, hoping to stop the blood. It helps, but not by a whole lot. I remove her helmet. Underneath is a beautiful woman with long brown hair.....blood running out of the corner of her mouth. I hold her head to my chest, trying to calm her down. She does and lies there still, her raspy breathing in sync with my own....
We sit there for hours, it seems. Not saying anything to each other. Finally I hear sirens in the distance. I get up to leave and an armored hand tugs at my pant leg as I stand up.
"N-no.....don'tt leave m-me...please..."
Her words ring in my head and I nod. I lay my back on her chest and hook my arms with hers. Raising up, I stand, holding her on my back. I run to the nearest exit and when I'm out, I lay her in the backseat of my car, blood already staining the leather seats.
I drive off and get her to a hospital. Then I leave. I went back to see her quite a few times, but the dream stops there.
I'll never forget.
