Introduction
The name’s Davenport. I review games.
So the other day a superhero flies through the window into my office. Cape, boots, underwear on the outside, the works. The fella even had a logo on his chest: “CP”.
“Hey,” he says, “You Davenport?”
“Uh, yeah?” I says, kinda expecting him to call me “Citizen” or some-such.
“Review copy for ya,” he says, dropping a book on my desk. “Dark Times,” says the cover.
“Thanks, pal,” I says. “Say, what’s the ‘CP’ for? ‘Captain Power’?”
“Chimera Pharmaceuticals,” he says.
“Lousy superhero name,” I says.
“It’s a megacorporation, wise guy,” he says. “Got my powers from’em.”
“Megacorps makin’ supers?” I says. “What kinda superhero game is this, anyway?”
“The cyberpunk kinda superhero game,” he says. “Hence, the ‘dark times’ bit.”
“Cyberpunk superheroes?” I says. “Now that’s a heckuva mashup. This I gotta see.”
“Good,” he says. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to fly. People out there have to know how great Chimera Pharmaceuticals is!”
“But what do they call you?” I says.
“They call me… Spokesman.”
