The year is 2063.
After the collapse of modern civilization, people have begun building off of the ruins of the past to make something new. With this comes the four major states - NewMerica, Aseura, the South Colonies and Centrala. In NewMerica, the government is a dictatorial regime known as the Merin Empire. Many people dislike the government, but many of its members in power wish the best for the citizens. Others only wish for the eternal perpetuation of the government.
Secret government experiments are common, especially in the Northern district of NewMerica. One such experiment, however, has proven extremely fruitful... a newly-created artificial gene that allows a human to gain an incredible natural-yet-unnatural ability.
These are known as Streaks, and only a certain few have them. Those that survived know the Streak well.
Gaspé District, Quebec Division, North NewMerica
"Swift Silver, mission is go. I repeat, mission is go."
"Gotcha, Rex."
Several Merin soldiers patrolled around the waterfront port. Two soldiers passed each other, waving. As one of the soldiers moved up next to one of the storage containers, he noticed a flash of silver. Curious, the guard walked over... before getting knocked out and thrown inside the container.
"One guard down." Silver said with a smirk, his long silver hair flashing. He crept up beside the container. "I see one other guard between me and the payload. Scout, can you tag 'em?"
"Gotcha." a voice said over the radio, and a small disk shot out from somewhere to tap on the back of the guard's suit. Electricity coursed through the guard, knocking them out. The man disappeared in a silver light as Swift Silver put him back in with the other one. He closed the container, locking it. "I see the train in the distance. Can you get the payload secured in time?"
"Heh. Not a problem, Scout." Silver smirked, dashing inside the building the two guards had been guarding. Racing up the watchtower, he stopped when he noticed two soldiers there. "Whoops. Scout, there's two guys here."
"Wh- You're Swift Silver!" one of the soldiers said in shock.
"So? GET HIM!" the other shouted. The second guard pulled back a plate on her forearm, causing her fist to hiss with steam. She punched towards Swift Silver... only to find herself disarmed with the gadget removed.
"Oh, sorry. This yours?" Silver asked, putting it on and punching her in the stomach. The guard instantly fell unconscious from the force. The other guard grabbed a shockstaff, but Silver grabbed it and bent it back so it shocked the soldier into unconsciousness. "Tower's clear." he said.
"Great. You got it?" Rex asked over the comms.
Silver looked at a crate to the side, opening it up. Inside were several computer harddrives. "It's old-world tech, alright." Swift Silver said, investigating it closely. "Genuine. Wonder what this stuff will have on it?"
"It's something important enough to keep in a watchtower with just under two dozen guards patrolling." Scout said. "Now let's get moving. Train's coming in just a few minutes."
"One sec." Silver replied, grabbing the crate and dashing off. As he did, he grabbed a few supplies he had seen earlier - specifically a paintbrush and a can of silver paint. Using his speed, he rapidly painted across a wide field area. Once he was done, he dropped the paintbrush and can beside him. "How's it look from up there, Scout?"
"Looks... just great." Scout admitted, seeing the large V with an eight-pointed star inside. "You got the Vagabond symbol almost perfectly this time."
"Almost?! Aw c'mon." Silver said in mock disappointment.
"Swift Silver! Scout! The train's almost there." Rex interrupted over the comms. "Get your asses to the rails!"
"I'll get Scout there in a flash." Silver stated, dashing off to the top of a crane on the other end of the docks. Spotting Scout, he tapped her on the shoulder. "Can't carry you if you're lying down."
"Smartass." Scout replied. She got up and let Silver scoop her up, putting her Steam Sniper on her back. Swift Silver ran down to the railroad, where Scout reached down and grabbed the crate. "Huh. It's lighter than I thought it'd be."
"Ready to make the jump, Rex." Silver reported.
"Good, 'cause the train's almost there." Rex said. "You'll need to make the timing on your own."
"Gotcha." Silver said. As the train steamed by in front of his face, Swift Silver focused his eyes. Time slowed down for him, and he could see all the details of current events clearly. As soon as the right car came by - the flatcar - Silver ran for a few steps and leapt forwards. Landing on the platform, he got his balance and skidded to a halt. "We're on."
Scout got down. "Let's move to one of the cargo cars. We'll be harder to notice that way."
Swift Silver nodded. Looking to the horizon, he saw the sun slowly rising in the distance. "New day, new mission. Let's head back to home base." Silver followed Scout into the car ahead.
