"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" In a dystopian, corporate 23nd century, that old quote still rings true; fantastic new advances continually boggle the mind and seem be able to accomplish almost anything. Hydraulic powers suits, laser weaponry, Minute-Rice... nothing seems impossible in this day and age. As tech advanced, so too did crimianl elements... from petty cyberthiefs and hackers to technologically empowered supervillans of likes never seen before, capable of actaully destroying the world. Of course, Good Guys™ rose up to meet the challenge, employing the same tech for thir own do-goodery. For years, the world's been locked in an age of wonder and amazing tales of heros vs not-so-heros... and its gotten sort of boring, to be entirely honest. Til actual magic came and shook up reality as we knew it, breaking physics over its sorcerous knee shouting obscenities, of course.
