Manhattan. Liberty's capital and prized jewel dedicated to satisfying one's every needs for the right amount of credits. The poor were kept in check by ruthless officers, the regulars were given a thumbs up before the same digit was shoved up their asses until they squealed praises to their bosses, and the rich spent a fortune on sating their most intimate pleasures, extravagant foods, shuttles that looked like magic to filth such as the honest worker keeping industry alive with bleeding hands.

God forbid the most downtrodden of workers ever stood up, or else there would be hell to pay. Too bad "hell" was also a synonym to Manhattan for the poor. And yet one night managed to change that. For one night it was the honest man holding the gun against the big man's head.

A journalist was paid for the correct opinion to have. One that puts criminals in their place with derogatory terms such as "filth", "boxheads" - and who could forget the one word that gave this entire family of misfits their trademark name? Yes, this "crook" lived lavishly in a penthouse at no short expense of his own dignity and reputation. His face was revered by the elite as a bringer of truth and "the right ideals", while the oppressed recoiled at the very concept that such a cockroach indeed exists. Even worse: lives so much better than they do.

He deserved it - or so he told himself. Every credit, every inch of that majestic residence he calls "home". It was a monument to greed gone unchecked. All of this was a fortune that he bled for - in ink. This 'truth', this 'struggle' and all these cheap slogans and enticing catchphrases written in latin to impress his audience could not really predict the future that was to unfold. Too bad: everyone else saw it coming from a mile away.

So what will our "Icon of Truth" do in the face of danger?
