《Tales of Disruption》Our Terms Are Non-Negotiable
Advertisement
Meteorologist and inventor, Dr. Jason Smith, developed the world's first WCS—Weather Control System.
Though only a prototype, he successfully controlled his flying nanotech by satellite to produce hyper-localized weather events such as heatwaves, rain, snow, and gusty wind.
Jason himself grew up poor on a financially struggling rural farm. He knew how climate change adversely impacted crops and livestock. For over a year, he secretly tested the WCS on his family's farm, effectively plotting a grid of distinct microclimates to cultivate whatever he wished.
But for Jason, merely helping farmers grow crops or preventing global famine did not satisfy his struggling sense of social consciousness. Economic inequality continued to divide people of the world, and political leadership readily got bought out.
Jason sought others to help him use the Weather Control System to 'serve a more immediate and meaningful purpose.' He finally collaborated with a group of underground hackers.
They first chose a CEO who frequently outsourced jobs, lobbied for deregulation, razed natural habitats, and forced property upscaling. Not to mention causing economic devastation for hardworking families while he gave his executives massive bonuses.
Jason and his team called the CEO using a digitally disguised voice ...
"This is Frank ..."
"Mr. Frank Johnson?"
"Yes. Who is this? How did you get my private cell number?"
"Mr. Johnson, do not hang up. What I have to tell you is critical. Go straight to the main social media page for your corporation."
"Alright ... One moment ... Okay ..."
"Refresh the video section."
"Okay ..."
"Choose the most recent upload, Mr. Johnson."
A video titled 'Weather Control System Phase 1' contained a collage of recorded segments but all with the same timestamp—
Bolts of lightning destroyed a power station to one of Johnson's foreign manufacturing facilities. A factory that was proven to run as a sweatshop exploiting unskilled labor under brutal working conditions.

Tornadoes ripped through entire swaths of Johnson's highly profitable harvests on farmland that replaced millions of acres of lush rainforest.
Torrents of rain caused mudslides over one of Johnson's high-end real estate ventures he cheaply purchased from low-income neighborhood slumlords.
"Weather control ...? Is this a joke? What the hell do you want from me?"
"It's all real. We only have two demands, Mr. Johnson."
"And those are?"
"Step down, and give up absolutely everything you own to charity."
"And if I refuse?"
A bolt of lightning struck outside Johnson's mansion—lights flickered—and an ear-shattering shotgun-blast-like thunderclap shook the premises.
"Mr. Johnson, let me be clear—our terms are non-negotiable."

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.
