At the start of the game you find yourself hiding under a pile of refuse in a dark alleyway outside the Zone, a hospital which was converted after the great war to hold both human and robotic criminals at little expense to the weakened government. Conditions are barbaric as the inner building is mainly unguarded leaving prisoners to fight over limited resources that are periodically dropped into the building by supply chute. Your aim is to gain entry to the Zone by any means possible and find the mad doctor thought to be responsible for the creation of the Adrenal Bomb, obtaining relevant information to find and defuse this devastating new device. This will not be easy.
