That's your problem. Treating someone like a slave? Not on my watch. I leave cards behind me to save police time. | The police were extremely concerned when they arrived at the scene: no signs of forced entry, minimal struggle, the area was visibly cleaned afterwards.

[WP] A terrible industrial accident sliced you in half cleanly down the middle. Autodocs got to you fast, and with modern cyberware you will eventually make a near-complete recovery. The only complication is that both halves survived... | You'd think working at some burger joint would be a pretty safe job. Fryer burns, at worst.

[WP] The Spartans never lost at the battle of Thermopylaes... Or ever. In the past 2,500 years they have yet to lose a single battle or war, and for the first time ever, you, a reporter, have been allowed in to observe their military tactics and advancements in a modern world. | "This is... remarkable," I said.
