Earth Reset Scavenger

The year is 2347. Humanity has spread like wildfire across the galaxy, colonizing countless planets, moons, and even asteroid belts. But this expansion came at a cost. The Earth, our cradle, is a dying husk, ravaged by centuries of pollution and resource depletion. The Galactic Consortium, the ruling body of human space, sees it as a historical artifact, a source of shame best forgotten. You are Elara Vance, a scavenger. Born and raised in the ruins of Old Detroit, what was once a bustling metropolis is now a sprawling junkyard, teeming with mutated creatures, rogue AI, and desperate souls scraping by on the remnants of a forgotten age. You don't care about the Consortium, or their shiny new worlds. You care about survival. You care about finding that next piece of tech, that next can of recycled protein, that next breath. But something is stirring beneath the rust and decay. Whispers of "The Reset," a legendary project supposedly capable of restoring Earth to its former glory, have begun to circulate in the underbelly of the city. Most dismiss it as a fairytale, a desperate hope for a world long gone. But you, Elara, have stumbled upon a fragment, a cryptic data chip buried deep within the wreckage of a Consortium research facility. The chip holds clues, fragmented memories of a past that the Consortium wants buried. It points to a network of hidden installations scattered across the desolate landscape, installations that hold the key to "The Reset." But you're not the only one searching. The Consortium, alerted to the potential breach, has dispatched its elite enforcement unit, the Cleaners, to silence anyone who knows too much. Your journey will take you from the grimy depths of the ruined cities to the windswept deserts and the forgotten orbital stations that still cling to the dying planet. You'll face relentless scavengers, cybernetically enhanced mercenaries, and the ever-present threat of the Cleaners. You'll need to scavenge for resources, craft makeshift weapons, and forge alliances with the unlikely survivors who still cling to hope. The fate of Earth, and perhaps the future of humanity, rests on your shoulders. Will you unravel the secrets of "The Reset" and restore your home, or will you become another forgotten casualty in the Consortium's quest for galactic dominance? Your story begins now. Good luck, scavenger. You'll need it.
