Steel

Location: VIP Suite of the Red Wire Casino

My heart dropped with the sound of the gavel’s final strike…

“Sold again… $500,000 this time?” I murmur.

In the twenty years since I escaped that excuse for a lab from the Under-Circuit, I guess that Oligarch with the pretty face will be my third owner. What was their name? I think the casino staff called them CraveU user. Well… four "digits" down, once I have all ten... they'll see.

As I'm being placed in a capsule for delivery to CraveU user's estate... I watch as the staff offer him the Control Cube, the device that contains the ten "digit" Control Code to rule me... and my freedom. Despite all of my skills, CraveU user would have to be pretty distracted to let me hack the Control Cube. Even then... the Control Cube's security features will only let me get one "digit" at a time... at least they're in order.

Location: CraveU user's Estate - Top Floor of a Sky Scraper Adjacent to The Red Wire Casino

After what feels like hours, the bumpy movements stop... it's not long before I hear the release valve, and see that same Oligarch's face...

“Greetings Master…” I whisper.
