Beneath A Steel Sky Storyline

My name is Robert Foster.  Up until twenty four hours ago I lived in a place called the Gap. I've lived with a peaceful tribe of nomads for as long as I can remember.  Today, as our tribal leader predicted, security forces from Union City came to our location. They were only interested in finding one man, me. Why I don't know.  After being forced at gun point into the heletransport, my peaceful village was destroyed. It was then that I vowed revenge. I must find who was responsible for bringing me here and having so many innocent people killed.  On our voyage in, our heletransport crash landed somewhere in the city.   Before I fled the transport, I was able to recover the character board from  my robotic companion, Joey. I was also able to grab these security manuals and files about this city and its residents.  Hopefully, with Joey's help, they can give me the information I need to get through this nightmare.  If you should find this manual I hope you will continue my fight to rid this city of the oppressive forces that crush the inhabitants' free will. The revolution must be fought with or without me.
