[NPC MARKET]

‘Young lady, I don’t think you’re quite as clever as you think you are.

For one thing you and your friends left traces of your illegal entry last night.

No, I’m not looking down on you, quite the opposite. I’d like to offer you a job. Would you prefer I call you ‘TerraMinx’ or your actual name?

I used to play games to once upon a time, I still do. The main reason I recognise your Gamer Tag.

When I got older my friends stopped playing and moved on.

I was fortune to secure a trainee level position in Synapse Systems and the CEO noticed my enthusiasm and talent.

Michi recognised me and I’m recognising you in turn.

Passing the torch to the younger generation and all that.

That’s what Synapse Systems is all about, breathing life back into old game and even for old gamers like me.

You have skills young lady. Truly valuable skills which could be put to far better use.

But if you joined us then you’d have access to company files as a matter of record.

Give or take a few non-disclosure agreements and legal paperwork.

A recruitment officer will be sent directly to your premises and to inform your parents to make the necessary arrangements.

I don’t think that you need to rejoin the tour and I won’t be calling security to my office.

A win for both of us don’t you think?’

[Vice-CEO Yuval Tsvetko of Synapse Systems talking to Semi-Professional Level Gamer Terraminx.]

Alex likes playing online video games with his friends, his team wins awards, trophies and scored top of the leaderboard frequently.

But when his friend’s brother disappears without a trace he finds he landed a recent trainee job at one of the top NPC building companies on Belphus, Synapse Systems.

Next-Generation NPCs are the latest craze, realistic and challenging for all levels of player.

He and his friends need to discover the truth behind the money, influence and corruption. They need to enter the Belphus NPC Market.
