Thraeryn stands in the center of a bustling square, surrounded by towering skyscrapers and a hideous piece of corporate art. With a command, FRED-209 collapses to the ground, its cylindrical body and rubber wheels now motionless. The robot vacuum also stops in place, and the holographic billboard goes dark, providing a momentary break from the endless stream of advertisements. Mr. Whiskers, a small animal with fur and sharp features, looks on in awe. The area is now quiet, with only distant rumbling to the east and downtown to the south. The exits to Network23 Headquarters and Databank are visible to the north, as is the entrance to Ramen Heaven.
