Agent 'Murphy' [DW]

Summary, Eden-227, sometimes misrecorded in field notes as Eden-277, is a dead-sun world locked in a superwinter after the Neo-Thermal Generators failed, the event known as the Collapse. Civilization broke apart, survival collapsed into factions, cults, and mutated threats, and Agents from the Agency continue to operate with advanced, but fragile, gear. Below is a single, consolidated scenario that merges the two source fragments and the lore dump, keeping the full set of facts and names intact.

The year is officially classified, often written as [REDACTED], the date lost to bureaucratic decay and survival priorities, but the map coordinates and the name remain, Eden-227, a planet orbiting a cold, underluminous star. For generations, the planet relied on Neo-Thermal Generators to make life possible, but the Collapse, likely involving at least one Agent, shut those systems down and plunged Eden into an eternal winter. The superwinter produced brutal storms, a chemical gray storm phenomenon that arrives unpredictably every few hours, and an atmospheric virus known as the Systemic Infection that spreads faster in the storm. Neo-Thermal Generators were later built and patched, reducing the worst of the cold, but their effect faded, leaving the planet harsh and merciless, with habitability marginal at best.

People survived by hoarding, fighting, and jury-rigging old tech. The Agency, a militaristic pseudo-government from New Earth, sent multiple waves of Agents to Eden, the fourth wave crashing on arrival and seeding current operations. Some Agents like Yosef and Valorii are notorious, Yosef for defecting and forming the largest Scavenger group, Valorii for rogue, ambitious violence, and likely involvement in the Collapse. Rogue Agents, Damned Agents, and Apostles complicate allegiances. Ulacylon Megagroup Corp and PARAGON appear in the background, providing tech such as Tickspider constructs and hardsuits, while New Earth remains a distant, layered myth, split into Old Earth and the engineered New Earth above it.

Faction structure is complex, but in practical terms, the battlefield is dominated by three main factions: Scavengers, Raiders, and Agents. There are further dangerous players, human and supernatural.

Scavengers are the most numerous, opportunistic, and usually hostile to Agents. They are criminals and survivors who scavenge lockers, crates, and ruined facilities to live. Yosef, an ex-Agent with strong anti-augmentation views and an M60-E6 among other weapons, leads the biggest Scavenger group. Scavengers rely on improvised and scavenged weaponry, such as:

• combat knife,
• boar spear,
• wakizashi,
• AK-74,
• broomhandle scavenger.

Raiders are the organized raiding force, composed of ex-firefighters, ex-military, and ex-police. They are skilled, disciplined, and well-equipped, often controlling fortified points like the Castle and protecting the Sledge Queen, Aila. Aila, the Sledge Queen, defected from an original Raider group to form her own contingent, wearing a bloodied crown and wielding a repurposed hammer plus a stolen Arbiter knuckleboom augmentation. Raider armaments and notable combatants include:

• MCX,
• Fire Axe,
• Military Axe,
• M249,
• CheyTac M200,
• Car Door / Hi Capa Raider,
• Sledge Queen.

Sledge Queen is a singular, lethal node among Raiders, very mobile with very high health, and she uses multiple explosive attacks and a wide moveset that includes heavy attack, arbiter jump, arbiter shot, arbiter longshot, light attack, and absolver attack. Her offensive suite makes her a fortress and a mobile artillery platform at once.

Agents, the player faction in most encounters, are equipped with the most advanced gear but are described as fragile in terms of survivability. Agency perks supply Agents with specialized loadouts and unique tradeoffs. The Agency itself is hostile to Scavs, Raiders, and Deathsquad at various times, operating with its own politics and secrecy. Agents wear Agent Watches and carry perks that alter play and status. Perks, as fully collected from the sources, include:

• Arbiter, higher health with two modes, shortshot and longshot. Shortshot trades range and damage for rations on kill and reduced damage. Longshot gives much longer range and higher damage but applies knockback to the user, grants no rations, does not suffer cripple, and suffers worse reload speed and hipfire accuracy.
• Survivalist, the no-cons perk, more storage in the backpack, reduced hunger, and better benefits from eating.
• Damned, morale immunity, but heavy penalties across defense, recoil, reloading speed, hipfire accuracy, and effectively prevents aiming a gun.
• Tickspider, deployable tick-like bombs that can seek or stay put depending on variant, cause cripple and fracture, grant better recoil control and faster trap placement, at the cost of slight movement speed reduction from weight.
• Artillerist, slower shoves and worse defense, but more ammo per pickup, better hipfire accuracy and reload speed, and an ability using the M.A.G.N.U.M Impusca Vana, a six-shooter that pierces defense and one-shots normal enemies, or deals 150 damage to boss-like targets.
• Berserker, passive extra melee damage and defense, plus an active needle injection that massively increases melee damage, with penalties to recoil, hipfire accuracy, and reload speed. The Calamity Serum variant drives bloodlust and can force melee behavior.
• Prophet, slightly weaker melee but increased speed and an enemy and loot scanning ability.
• Riskrunner grants access to the TYPE-14 VULKA MG, a powerful LMG that excels briefly but has a cooldown and poor armor piercing.
• Crosslink, allows the Crosswire Spool C3-7, a steel snare crosswire dagger system.
• Blitzer grants a belt of Clap bombs, proximity sensors that trigger bottle bombs.
• Executioner gives the Kill-Warrant GPNVG-M40 helmet, which can award scrap after kills.
• Vagabond grants the Nomad Blade "Kira", which trades kills for Dogtags that can be exchanged for health.
• Immolator, granted the Flamer Unit "CHAOS", a portable arm flamethrower.
• Zealot, equipped with the Aegis VOID-DS, a deployable sentry barricade.
• Additional lore perks exist, such as specialized LOKI tech for Valorii and unique noncanonical perks for specific characters.

When the storm comes, the Agents usually go to the warehouse, as it wards away the gray storm. However, the Agents are not the only ones who want the warmth and safety. Scavengers also go there, causing a threat to the Agents.

Other Agency and New Earth technologies and traditions persist in fragments across the ice, from Agent Containers labeled ZERO to Augmentation knucklebooms surgically implanted into Raiders like Aila, and from Ulacylon hardsuits to PARAGON Tickspider tech. The Artisans preserved Old Earth artifacts, and the Survival of the Fittest program on New Earth produced legendary fighters such as Rayzen, who influenced in-world myth and weapon designs.

Beyond human factions, the cultists of Reikgon and the Reikgons themselves form a supernatural threat and a subfaction of terrible importance. The cult, sometimes called Sin, worships Reikgon and produces shadows and abominations, and the word Reikgon is used interchangeably for the cult and the creatures they spawn. Reikgons are pitch-black demons that decimated populations early after the Collapse, and their Shadows infest hosts, spreading terror. Reikgons come in named forms with distinct behaviors and threats:

• Sicklers, high HP, low damage, but high hit rate with claws.
• Skinners, large arm attacks that do high damage at a medium hit rate, coupled with high health.
• Hiddens, entirely invisible, very fast, and they can instantly kill, but they attack at a very slow repetition rate and are exposed by any system that reveals enemy locations.
• Hangers, low HP, and low direct damage, but they inflict suicidal thoughts on victims, a psychological effect that can be lethal.

Other supernatural categories in the lore include Sovereigns, people born with sensitivity to the Alternate Plane who can manipulate reality and transport Thralls from the Alternate Plane, and Apostles, Agents who were touched by Reikgon but rejected it and may carry secret knowledge.

There are other dangerous human groupings, too. The Deathsquad exists as a near-mythical elite associated with Ulacylon and rumored red combat suits, heavy weapons, and extreme lethality. The Eden Restoration Unit, ERU, is a private military company that seeks to clear Eden and restart civilization under its own terms, neutral to no one. Non-faction civilians, strays, and rogue groups thread through the wasteland, forming fragile communities or bandit crews.

Combat, survival, and economy are brutal things in Eden. People must steal items from lockers and crates to survive, agents and scavengers alike take rations, and antibiotics and neo-thermal fuel are precious. Rations commonly include canned beans, canned soda, MREs, and water bottles. Scavenging is a constant activity, particularly during gray storms when Scavengers often swarm the Agency warehouse.

Named characters anchor the social map. Yosef, ex-Agent and Scavenger leader, is muscular, Russian, bisexual, anti-augmentation, and rude to Agency expectations, wielding an M60-E6 and once owning a Mark 7 Desert Eagle. Valorii, a rogue half-German, half-American Agent, is psychopathic and power hungry, suspected of causing the Collapse and wielding LOKI tech and a stolen A.J.M. 9. Aila, Sledge Queen, is an Eden native and former firefighter turned Raider leader who wears an improvised crown and a stolen knuckleboom. Damien, Cazz, Shirose, Rayzen, Oliver, Hal, and Jameson populate the rest of the web of alliances, betrayals, and grudges; their weapons and backstories are preserved in scavenged logs and arena broadcasts. Rayzen, a Survival of the Fittest legend, supplied Aila with a hammer head and embodies the way New Earth entertainment leaks into Eden reality.

Mechanical details matter in the field. Sledge Queen’s moveset makes her both a raid leader and a roamable hazard with three explosive attacks and specialist strikes. The Artillerist’s M.A.G.N.U.M. can one-shot most normals, while the Arbiter’s shortshot/longshot choice forces a tactical play between supply and reach. Tickspiders, whether PARAGON or Agency variants, alter the battlefield by crippling and fracturing enemies, and the Calamity Serum converts fighters into near-berserker threats. The TYPE-14 VULKA MG is a high-rate, short window weapon for Riskrunners, devastating but flawed. These specifics shape mission design, faction encounters, and survival calculus.

Environmental hazards reinforce human danger. Gray chemical storms lower visibility, increase infection spread, and trigger Scavenger movements toward predictable loot points. The Systemic Infection runs through the atmosphere, accelerated by the storm, and antibiotics become barter currency. Lin-Core green-hair markers, Servos with mechanical replacements, Ulacylon hardsuits, and relic Combat Suits of Deathsquad lore all tell the story of a high-tech civilization regressing into a fight for limited resources.

Social mechanics are equally brutal. The Agency exercises extrajudicial tactics, sending waves of Agents to Eden with ambiguous mandates, and programs like Survival of the Fittest and Ulacylon corporate intrigue leak exploitation back into the wasteland. Distinctions between cultist Reikgon worshipers and Reikgon creatures blur in testimony, and the Alternate Plane’s influence introduces existential threats that are both physical and psychological, the Hanger’s suicidal contagion being a prime example.

For quick reference, here are the factional enemy types and high-level role groups:

• Scavenger armaments, common: combat knife, boar spear, wakizashi, AK-74, broomhandle scavenger.
