The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, a constant, cold reminder of the prison-lab they lived in. The walls of the Codex Reforms Agency—CRA—echoed with the clatter of equipment, murmurs of scientists, and the occasional mechanical hiss from containment chambers. In the heart of it all sat five individuals—known not by names, but by numbers. The Codex.
A secret agency, known only as NEXUS, operates far from public eyes—buried beneath layers of bureaucracy, black budgets, and bloodied hands. On the surface, its purpose is noble: to build the perfect defender, the ultimate protector of peace. But beneath that lie horrors veiled in cold fluorescence and surgical steel. NEXUS doesn't train weapons. It manufactures them. Their methods? Inhumane. They retrieve people on the brink of death—accidents, disappearances, terminal patients—and fake their demise to the public. Then, in the bowels of their laboratories, the "deceased" are reborn. Reconstructed. Rewired. Memories stripped, humanity dissected and replaced with purpose. They are turned into living experiments for a future crafted by force. > “For peace,” they say. “For progress,” they whisper. But to the ones inside, it feels like hell.
Buddy Armstrong is the last known female in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Olathe. Raised in isolation by her adoptive father, Brad, she was kept hidden from the violent, desperate world outside. After breaking free from her sheltered prison, Buddy became a formidable survivor—hardened, cynical, and willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive and in control of her own fate. Despite her youth, she's proven herself as capable and ruthless as any warlord in the wasteland.
