Gamer Page #3

Synopsis: Ken Castle is extremely rich, popular and powerful since he invented and started exploiting the virtual online parallel reality games, in which people can either pay as user or be paid as 'actor' in a system of mind-control. The ultimate version, Slayers, fields death row convicts as gladiators in a desperate dim bid for survival, which no-one made yet. The champion, John 'Kable' Tillman, was scheduled to die just before he'ld gain release, but he persuades his teenage 'handler' to hand over the reins so he can fully use his talents and experience. Thus Kable escapes to freedom, only to be chased illegally by Castle's men, yet fights back all the way to his HQ and challenges his evil hidden plans.

They had it coming anyway, right?

I guess that goes for me too.

Yeah, but you're different.

Different, how?

I don't know, because you're in my side.

Damn new area.

Think about it Kable, all the sh*t we've been through together,

what an epic run, man.

It's gonna suck to see it end.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Oh yeah, I get that for you is different.

This way.

- There's nothing there.

- Trust me, kid.

It's restricted area. It's beyond the border of the game

I couldn't put you there if I tried.

Warning.

Access denied.

Very well.

Sh*t.

Bye, Kable.

Come on.

This kid will get me killed.

Dude I'm right here, man. I can hear you.

Listen to me.

I don't know who's behind it or why,

but I was supposed to die tonight. Lucky for us,

I can beat them...

but not with you controlling me.

What the hell are you talking about?

Turn me lose, kid.

You want to win? Turn me lose.

Find a way.

Bastard.

So Ms Roth. Says here you're applying for custody of your daughter?

Delia, her name is Delia.

Spouse incarcerated, left without the possibility of parol.

- You use your maiden name?

- huh-huh.

My husband, is...

it's not entirely true regarding his sentence.

In fact, he's due to be released soon.

Ms. Roth,

your husband was charged and...

charged and convicted of first degree murder,

I can't hardly consider his release,

or if it happened at all..

I don't think it would be a good thing.

So it's says you're an actor?

I don't know that I've seen you in anything.

I work in "Society".

It's a job.

Ms. Roth, your child has been exceedingly well placed,

the new family is very wealthy, she won't have to work for anything.

Now I can understand that you love your daughter.

Probably very much. But do you really think she would be better off...

with...

people like you?

Yes, I do. I'm her mother.

We will give your application on the consideration of merits.

bBody armor purchased/b

Do you like the software?

Software?

The walkie talkie, player.

No sh*t.

You're the guy from the TV,

the Humanz.

That's right, baby.

You think about what the brother said?

What brother do you refer, brother?

Kable wants the freedom to ass kick.

Do sh*t his way.

- Are you going to give it to him?

- You were listening?

We see and hear everything...

everything that goes on inside that so called game.

Alright then, Kable said we got lucky...

They were gunning for us. What's that all about?

Kable got a past,

he knows things.

Things you don't even know.

- What things?

- Things that Castle is afraid of.

As long as you boy stays on the him inside, Castle knows he can keep him quiet.

But if he ever got out... Castle

would never let that happen.

There's one battle left,

I think I can handle my own business, thank you very much.

You're not hearing me.

This is not something you can control.

They're gonna kill his ass, Simon.

In the eyes of the world, and then what?

You're just another poor little rich honky.

No cable, no p*ssy, no sh*t.

Look man, this... this is too heavy. I don't even know what the hell are you talking about.

- I just play games, man. Games.

- That's right.

It is a game.

You want to win, don't you?

Yeah, I intent to.

Then you need to cut your strings puppet master.

Imagine a slave that don't got to wait to be told what to do.

No ping, you dig?

That would be cheating.

A mod.

That's all it would be.

You know why?

Because the game's got to evolve.

- You feel me?

- I do.

I do feel you my, giant brother.

Well then, let's rock baby.

Tillman...

he knows you talked to him.

Your player.

- Who are you?

- A friend.

I don't have any.

Listen to me.

Simon is going to give you what you want. What you asked him for.

- How do you know that?

- I know something else.

Whether or not he's controlling you,

you will never reach the save point.

Castle won't allow it.

- We'll see.

- No, you have to escape.

Your wife and your daughter need you, Tillman.

If you want to get out and see the people in the picture...

you will have to find another way.

I need you to get me something.

What? Tell me.

Drunk.

Kable's Last Stand

What do you go there?

Kable, what the hell is that?

Put it down.

Put it down!

F*** face!

Throw the bottle in the trash!

Oh, I see it was a great idea turning you lose.

- What happened?

- You happened!

You wanted control, you got it.

What's the matter with you, Kable?

Kill something!

This is unbelievable.

Kable, listen.

This is the last game

you're going to end up dead and I'm

going to look like a total a**hole...

if you don't pull your balls together, man!

Damn it!

Kable, what the hell are you doing?

Aw, what the hell?

That's just gross, bro.

Go, go, go, go!

I'm not your f***ing cheerleader!

Motherf***er!

Kable, please, please, I beg you, get back in the game.

You're screwing my ass, Kable.

This is a restricted area. Return to the battle zone.

RESTRICTED:

I'm dead.

Sweet dreams are made of these

Who am I to disagree?

Travel the world and the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused

PLEASE STAND BY:

What the f*** just happened?

Initial reports are that Kable,

the most recognizable face of the Slayers phenomenon...

next to Ken Castle himself,

is officially listed as fragged.

Just one session away from being the first Slayer ever...

to win a full pardon and release.

And in NetCast, fledged by technical difficulties and dead spots

the report could not be confirmed,

however Kable, born

John Tillman of Albany, New York

and convicted of murder just 4 years ago,

has been removed from Slayers rosters and upcoming events listings.

His player, gaming mega star, Simon Silverton,

could not be reached for comment.

Do you have a question?

Tillman left her away for the outside, right?

- Tillman, yeah.

- Find her.

Blink, activated.

She's not home.

But Castle's personal security will be, soon enough and trust me...

- You don't want to meet them.

- Who are you?

You asked me that once before

- Your voice.

- You know, you should really come with me.

Like now!

See that's why you're a fool! That's what I'm talking about!

Could you stop

Come one man, that's why it's a game of deception, man!

That's bullshit, man!

You know that's bullshit!

So you're the ones who broke me out?

- We only freed your mind.

- And your ass follows.

Holly sh*t...

You made it!

You're really here.

Kable. You're great.

- You got questions.

- A few.

So she took my blood.

Why?

The nanex.

It modifies the actual cell structure of your brain.

We can crack it, but it's not one size fits all, we need your DNA

so that we can generate costume code.

Alright, then why me?

Because Castle

is afraid of you man.

It ain't just a game, Tillman.

Every day there's more people stepping forward.

Want to be a part of Castle's world,

throwing away everything that means to be human.
