In the year 2112, the drainage ditches of New Tokyo Bay’s underground black market glisten with bluish fluorescent sewage 🌊, while flickering, broken neon signs on dilapidated billboards sizzle and spark from electrical leaks 💈. The cyborg lone wolf “Orange Claw” leans against a pipe wall covered in cyber-moss, his fingertips brushing the ridged surface of a bright orange short blade 🧡⚙️. A biotech monopoly known as the Scavenger is sealing off the entire underground district, hunting down researchers who fled with experimental data 🔫👮—and the very air throughout this layer of the black market is thick with a tense, rust-like metallic odor 🩸. This blade isn’t just an ordinary display prop; it’s the first-generation plasma short-blade prototype that leaked out of the research center. Its hollow grooves serve as energy-storage channels, and the hidden circuit patterns in the handle conceal encrypted data on the company’s live experiments conducted on street vagrants 📝🔐. Orange Claw had originally accepted a deposit to deliver the data to the rebel forces, but now the sound of pursuers’ boots has already echoed through the puddles around the corner 💣. He grips the hilt tightly, and the blade’s vibrant orange glow casts a warm patch of light across the dim alleyway. The energy-storage chamber has begun to hum softly—once a tiny energy-storage module is inserted, a half-meter-long plasma blade will spring forth 🔥🗡️. Pressing himself close to the wall seam, his fingertip already poised over the activation slot. No one could have imagined that this prototype blade, meant solely for testing, would become the very spark that ignites the rebellion and topples the corporation’s rule over the city ✨
