THE ASCENT上行戰場
Every cycle, thousands of hopefuls make planetfall on Veles.每個循環日，成千上萬滿懷希望的人飛抵韋萊斯星。
Most pay the hefty price of passage by contracting away their lives to
the corporations as indentured laborers, called "indents".大部分的人是把他們的人生簽給大企業當契約工才能付得起高昂的旅費，他們被叫做"契勞"。
Slaves in all but name.骨子裡就是奴隸。
You are an indent with the Ascent Group, the largest corporation on
Veles.你是上行集團的契勞，那是韋萊斯最大的企業集團。
Stuck in the deep, dank bowels of their massive
arcology, you do the menial jobs you're given.被困在他們巨型摩天城中深邃，濕暗的下層，你做著你被指派的奴役工作。
Counting off the cycles to the end of your
contract, or an early death, whatever comes first.算著日子直到合約結束，或是提早先死，看哪一個先到。
Veles welcomed you with a hard kick to the
groin, like it does everyone.韋萊斯星給你一個下馬威歡迎你，對所有人都一樣。
But you're not down for the count just yet...但是你現在還不打算認輸...
開場
