Google Docs LinkLuford Perez - Sensorial Corporation“---And that concludes my presentation.” Luford thanked his audience before retreating back into his seat.He let out a sigh, as he knew the results weren’t likely to tilt in his favor today.His brother, Harold, had amply prepared a comprehensive action plan coupled with the sweet promise of high profits and bonuses. It was hard to believe he still held more sway over the executives after t...

Google Docs LinkLuford Perez - Sensorial Corporation“Make sure it is set to the maximum power the sensor allows for.” A young man in his twenties yelled out as he continued to examine the device in front of him.The device was a full size larger than the man himself, so he constantly circled it to search for anything he may have missed. Within a few seconds of his words, one of his assistants brought up a small stick-shaped device to him.“He...

Google Docs LinkClaire - Halls Corporation“Lucy, you called?” The red-haired woman playfully greeted as she peeked her head into the room. There were several others inside going about their work, but they all ignored her antics except the woman furthest in the back.She gestured for Claire to come closer, and she did just that.Lucy, the head of the intelligence, only opened her mouth when Claire reached the seat across her. Even then, the mome...

Google Docs LinkSpike - Halls Corporation“You’re serious? He’s dead?” Spike asked the teary-eyed woman with a frown.“Yes, we received the message this morning. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to find a sponsor elsewhere.”“Wait! I don’t want to give up so easily. Can you tell me who informed you of his passing? Was it his family or his company?”“...His brother did. He called to let us know about Mr. Benedict’s passing and info...
Corpo Age - Chapter 136: Commoners and Corpos
Google Docs LinkI watched as my employee pulled the trigger with his gun trained on one of our customers without hesitation, but his weapon simply clicked. His eyes widened, and he quickly pulled the trigger once more, to no avail.His weapon wasn’t loaded, and the magazine was missing.For a moment there, I was about to have my spy implant overload and kill the traitor. It wasn’t exactly intended, but simply an option that was always open when...

Corpo Age - Chapter 135: Seeing Things Through
Google Docs Link“Fitel, it hasn’t been that long, but it sure feels like it has been. Did you have any updates on that intel job?”“I believe that job is between me and Claire. I’m afraid I can’t reveal anything to you.”“Come on. Be flexible. You know it was from me, anyway. We’re a little too busy right now for these games.”“I would not say following proper procedure is a game. If rules aren’t followed, we will only get ch...

Google Docs Link“Hurry up and speak, corpo. We don’t have all night for you.” A lanky man said in an aggressive tone to me, standing at the forefront of his little group of four.“Marcio, was it?

Hurry up and lead the way.”I exchanged looks with Thorne and nodded before we made our way away from the general area of the bar toward one of the privat...
Corpo Age - Chapter 133: Questions
Google Docs Link “Hey, wake up!” I yelled out to the people Thorne, and I had restrained within the ruins of the wasteland.They weakly made incoherent noises without responding, so I examined them more closely. Their bodies were weak, showing signs of starvation and dehydration. If I had to guess, I’d say they had run out of supplies for around three or four days now.“Rollo, I don’t think they’re in any condition to talk.”“I know...
Corpo Age - Chapter 132: Mercenary Contracts
Google Docs Link“Rollo, your profile in the ECPD database has been tampered with!” Claire’s voice rang out through the video call.“What do you mean, my profile has been tampered with?”“Here, take a look. Your information on it is just placeholders.

Corpo Age - Chapter 131: The Corpo Way of Searching
Google Docs LinkAfter we spoke with Erza’s teammates, we found the contact information for one of the QGs they normally worked with. It took a bit of convincing and reassuring before Trisha, their team leader, was willing to hand it over.I was thankful that Eli’s message had informed them of the situation, so they were willing to cut me some slack and take a risk by working with us.Once we saw the mercenaries off, I immediately placed a call ...

Corpo Age - Chapter 130: Connections
Google Docs LinkI patiently waited as Emma was on call to see to my request to visit a resident around here.I wished I could have done my own investigation into this Robert Lee, but there wasn’t much we could find of an inner-city resident from the outside world.Lion City wasn’t one of the places where you could easily do what you wanted with just some bribes or exerting influence by flaunting your might. Their government may be known as drac...
Corpo Age - Chapter 129: Inner City

Google Docs LinkErza - MercenaryImmediately after hearing her new teammate’s distress call, Erza instantly got dressed and prepared her weapons on instinct.

Google Docs LinkFlo - Halls CorporationA woman with a fit athletic build and an eye-catching red cyberarm stormed into the lobby of the Goodwin Hotel.

It should be under the name Erza Santaff.”The receptionist’s internal panic was clearly shown on their face...
Corpo Age - Chapter 126: Field Work
Google Docs LinkI breathed in deeply as I listened to Flo about how Erza had gone out of contact. I knew how close she was with Flo and remembered how she had helped guide me when I initially came to this world. My first instinct was to shout that I would tag along in her search, but times have changed. I couldn’t just leave on a whim, especially when the case about our malfunctioning products was ongoing.These incidents would have a high impac...
Corpo Age - Chapter 125: Product Defect
Google Docs LinkDrew - Halls Corporation“Your company better compensate me for this. I can’t believe you guys have the audacity to sell defective products.

Corpo Age - Chapter 122: Looming Danger
Google Docs LinkThorne and I stepped into the interior of the cargo ship and went straight for the bridge. Our old QG, Fitel, had the courtesy of including the schematics of the ship. It wasn’t anything hard to find, being simply a typical cargo hauler.Knowing exactly where we needed to go, we got there within minutes. I released several Nyes to scout out the room on the other side and a moment later, the outlines of several people appeared in ...
Corpo Age - Chapter 121: Numbers Game
Google Docs LinkI watched through the assault team’s body cam footage as they continued to inspect the dark and bloody room. Bodies were in their way, so they took a cautious approach.With the tension strained, they all flinched at the sight of movement, pointing their weapons at the large figure that suddenly appeared. The person had blood all over them, but I immediately recognized the uniform despite the mess.A familiar voice called out.“T...

Corpo Age - Chapter 119: Sewer Rats
Google Docs Link“Is it possible to have that cyborg bodyguard of yours lead the initial infiltration?”I gazed over at the speaker, Joey. We stared at each other for only a second, but felt like minutes before he continued.“He’ll be a vital asset in the initial infiltration into High Grain Corp’s underground base. None of our other agents have access to stealth tech as developed as your company’s.”“So you want me to send a full tea...

I was sure the ...
Corpo Age - Chapter 116: Pit Stop
Google Docs LinkMy optics zoomed in to the center of the entire floor that sold cybernetics, towards the area where products from SocialCorp were sold. It was a surprise to see them here, as I thought they didn’t sell any cybernetics whatsoever, but a quick look at their area solved the mystery.Their spacious area sold only one type of product, and it was immensely popular. Their area, which was ten times larger than the others, had various cas...
Corpo Age - Chapter 115: Slice and Dice
Google Docs LinkAs the alarms rang throughout Ferrumus Corp’s compound, our team sat back and watched. Our Nyes acted as our eyes as they allowed us to see what was going on around us. The design of the building also helped with the clear transparent windows all around the center of the building. We were easily able to look down into the hallways of the other floors below.Guards and automated defenses scrambled around. The latter were in much g...
Corpo Age - Chapter 114: Ferrumus Station
Google Docs LinkIt took us a while to complete our makeshift repairs to the fuel leakage, as we weren’t properly trained technicians, especially not under microgravity conditions. The one good thing that we had going was that we were able to measure the levels of remaining fuel quickly after we got the repairs done.We did so by simply sending a Nye in to measure the fuel tank, saving us valuable time.“So there’s good news and bad news. Whic...
