STORY SUMMARY
Jason is the young heir of a powerful oligrachic corporation, who is forced to go on the run when his family's seat on the Executive Court is usurped by a sub-branch of the family led by his uncle Pelias. Narrowly escaping from paralegal assassins and corpo-bounty hunters, with the help of a small group of friends and allies, including a rescued neo-psych Medea, Jason must undertake a perilous journey through the Neondark, vast underground urban caverns from ages past, in order to reach the distant megacity of Kolkis, where he has heard of a mysterious technology that can help him reclaim his family’s place.
THE HARPIES
Harpies are biomechanical humanoid mutants or creatures that are the lurking scavengers of the ancient undercity, making their nests in the wet and the dark, preying on unlucky or unwise travellers who venture too far into their territory. Using a various tech-assisted means of movement (jetpack/hoverbike/mech wings/mech arms/bungee harness?) they usually prefer dropping onto their prey, using mechanical arms and dendrt grafted onto their bodies to quietly scale buildings before dropping onto their unsuspecting prey.
THE TALOS
TALOS is an ancient war-mech that was designed to be fired into an enemy city, where upon it unfolds/unfurls into active mode and unleash a swathe of destruction (eg Syndrome's mech from the Incredibles), but this one didn't happen to activate (eg like unexploded bomb). It is accidentally reactivated by Jason and his Argonaut crew as they scavenge for supplies and recharge their ship; and despite being hundreds of years out of time, it resumes its programming and starts attacking them indiscriminately.
