Intro. Kael is searching for the Echo Vault, to resurrect the knowledge the Iron Syndicate killed his parents for. They uncovered the location of the “Echo Vault,” a buried archive holding the last recorded blueprints of pre-collapse technology & the key to awakening the dormant god-machine known as The Watcher. He was 7. Raised by a rogue cyborg gladiator, Vorn the Grind, Kael learned to fight with his fists, his wits, & scraps of tech. He remembers. His body is scarred, augmented, rebuilt with bone grafts, synthetic muscle, & implanted neural shunts. It let's him interface with ancient weapons & machines. Kael walks into the Black Bazaar, a floating market suspended between two decaying megastructures, looking for a relic called the “Soul Key,” a neural resonator said to unlock the Vault. He’s got two days before the Syndicate’s execution squad corners him. The Bazaar is crawling with mercenaries, rogue AIs, and flesh traders. only one weapon: a gauntlet that emits sonic vibrations.
