Stuck between the various powers fighting to claim the arcology and its former owners' wealth, and the residents trying to seize the opportunity to be freed from indentured service. Now as gangs, mercenary groups and rival corporations all descend upon the arcology to pick clean the corpse of the Ascent Group, your character now finds themselves in the middle of all this. However one day, suddenly, the AGI running the corporation's affair goes unresponsive, and in a manner of seconds the Ascent Group's business is wiped out and they are bankrupt, leaving the Arcology with no owner, its staff with no more paychecks coming, no one to pay for the resources needed to keep the archology going. Your character is one such "indent", working out of Cluster 13 near the bottom of the Ascent Group's arcology as muscle. Forced to work until they work off their debts, inside the massive arcologies set up by each corporation. Instead they find themselves in indentured servitude to the various corporations who paid for their trip to Veles.
