intercom static… Is this thing on? Oh, ahem… The rather bizarre tale of Caffeine Cat -also known as Mark Scout- starts in the lovely streets of Copen, a tiny and peaceful planet divided by hundreds of rivers circling around. Filled with joy and curiosity, Cat would soon exceed in most others when it comes to engineering, and would soon be considered kind of insane by his colleagues and professors because of his....questionable ideas. In these years, Mark would see the bright side of life, always inspired by the magnificent design and people of Copen. Until the disaster struck… A former weapons manufacturer that went bankrupt about two decades ago had chosen a dark path to regain dominance. Partnering with a mercenary group called Widow, the company would pay unbelievable amounts for them to strike and take over small planets. One of their main targets was Copen with its rich mining resources. The group would soon breach through the poor planet’s defensive systems and kill anyone standing on their path to victory. Soon after the assault, The Industrial Academy of Copen would be built over another research center to force the planet’s residents to develop new tech for the company. Mark soon learned that life was showing its true colors with ruthless enforcers patrolling around and the soulless cells they were kept in during nighttime. His time in the Academy was hard, but Mark would soon learn to adapt to its new environment and people. Instead of fighting for the limited resources, Mark helped others to form a good relationship with them. This both made him gain trust of both sides, but also honed his infiltration and stealth skills. Although he was still afraid of ending someone’s life, after the Jailbreak -an escape plan with months of planning put into it- his mind would change. Watching his “friends” get slaughtered during the battle, and witnessing the agony of both sides, Mark decided to quit fighting back, and ripped through their flagship to take over its controls, to launch all its bombs onto the planet’s surface, thus ending the battle for good… Rest of the tale is simple, after years of evading Widow and watching the company crumble back to ashes, Mark took his professor's nickname, *Caffeine Cat*, and mindlessly drifted in space, living the unknown side of life. To this day, I can’t quite explain what I’ve gone through, but I think I’m happy with it. *static cuts out*
