You generally work night shifts at the New York Presbyterian Hospital as a nurse. When Dagan became disinterested in you, you focused on making a career for yourself. Through hard work (Anatomy & Physiology sucked), you became a registered nurse. Suddenly, another ambulance rushes by with cop cars following. What is happening out there?

<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter1/TrixStory14.png]]</div> You wash quickly. As you do, you think about all the poor people whom you will be helping tonight. Many years ago, seemingly out of nowhere, a psychopathic clown began abducting people, predominantly women. Most were never seen again, but the few they rescued were forever insane. He tinkered with their brains to the point that no psychologist could undo the damage. The victims remained locked in institutions for the rest of their lives. The next round of disappearances was even worse! When the missing women were rescued this time, investigators found they had been subjected to chemical experiments. They were clowns. White skin, colors on their face, their noses had grown colored and bulbous, and they had wild looking hair- but it was not makeup and wigs- they literally became crazy clowns on a biological level. Worse yet, the strange chemicals the Giggler used to warp their bodies into clowns, had no known treatment. No one had been able to understand the chemical compounds which he used, so unfortunately, there was no cure for the afflicted. Forever they would be smiling and happy- and completely mad. Sometimes, however, you have wondered if they ever were saved, would they ever be happy again? The look of absolute manic joy on their faces might mean that coming back to regular life would be unbearable. Clowns always frightened you, hiding behind their makeup.

You have always been terrified of clowns, long before the Giggler existed. Even as a child, they were the stuff of nightmare. Maybe it is that they can hide their true emotions. Maybe it is because they are chaotic and so unpredictable. The Giggler certainly is. What if that creature has more chemical bombs set up, and you get infected with <i>the giggles</i>? Your stomach drops. There would be no saving you. Of course, on the other hand, you would forever be happy- but forever be a clown! You nervously finish up and don <<linkto "your scrubs."

<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter1/TrixStory16.png]]</div> You finish getting dressed and feel ready to help those in need. You check the television and your phone one last time. There are no more reports of explosions, though riot police are now at the scenes because of large groups of insane clowns, the Giggle Gang. Those that were closest to the gases appear to have it the worst. Any infected men, at least that you have ever heard about, were almost feral. So wild, they scarcely talked, just laughing incessantly. The hapless men would rove about, sometimes mutated into grotesque monsters, but always with inhuman strength, sexually assaulting any women they could find. The chemicals in their veins were enough that their very semen could infect their victims. Sometimes it took once, sometimes multiple violations, but eventually, the women would lose their minds, and join the lunatics in madness. Your heart breaks and you feel sorry for these poor souls. Just as you turn to leave your apartment, there is a knock on your door. You walk over and peer through the peephole. You just manage to catch someone darting to the right towards the elevator.

Oddly enough, you feel much less safe here with no one around. With all that is happening, most people probably cower in their homes, terrified. You nervously pace as you wait on the train. What if a bomb lies hidden in this very tunnel? What if it goes off? Are the infected people still who they were?

<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter1/TrixStory20.1.png]]</div> Every night, for the past few weeks, you have had odd dreams. They started the night the news showed Dagan being arrested in some bizarre sting operation. That night, you had a flash of a dream, some vague imagery of Dagan in a jail cell thinking about you. You assumed it must have been due to seeing the coverage right before you fell asleep. Yet, night after night, the visions and dreams about him became more vivid. You did love Dagan, once, and you know he was completely smitten with you. Honestly, you do not think you loved him as much as he did you, but you had found a hard working person, one that flared with passion, so when he asked you to marry him, you accepted. That Dagan stood so very different from the man whom he became. Claims were that he was leading some type of satanic cult. Stories and allegations abounded describing him raping women, casting magic spells, and worshipping a demon. None of that sounded like the simple, kind man that you once knew and loved. You did feel sad when you heard that they carried out his execution a couple of months ago. While you despised the twisted version of Dagan which he became- you cried that night for the man who he had once been. You thought the dreams would have stopped, but they became even darker and much more insistent. Eventually, you could recall every detail; the nightmares became almost a second reality. You became twisted into dark, perverse versions of yourself. Moreover, though you would never admit it to anyone else- you liked the dreams now. You always woke up horny and wet. You feel shame even as you think about your dark dreams, but you know that you have begun to <<linkto "enjoy them." "Trix21">>

She begins to push up against him to help his dick reach deeper into her body- into her soul. @@.Trixie;“Think dark thoughts,”@@ your dream-self says as you exhale your cigarette smoke into her face. You could never do this type of behavior in real life. And not just the gross cigarettes, but to condone and even aid in the subjugation of another person, it would be tantamount to blasphemy in your personal moral code. @@.Trixie;<i>“Then, why does this turn me on so much when I think about it?”</i>@@ you ponder as the <<linkto "subway slows."

You scan the streets for any bombs, but you do not even know what they look like. Knowing the Giggler, they might look like unopened gifts, which makes you consider the package at your door. But also knowing the Giggler, they probably look like they do in cartoons- round balls with fuses, or— another ambulance rushes towards the medical center down the street, so you pick up <<linkto "your pace!"

<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Promos/FactionDementedPromo.jpg]]</div> I shan't go into too much detail here, as you will recall fighting Doctor Demented in my novel <i>Desideratum: Blood Bonds</i>, but now you get to see what happened before Absinthe Van Gothen was even involved. As usual, using hypnosis, mind control, and lobotomies, the ‘good’ doctor works out his nefarious schemes. What is he up and will Trixie be able to stop him and his demented minions? [[Back|PromoFactions]]
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Promos/FactionHarvestersPromo.jpg]]</div> MedUSA began patenting pumpkin seeds. This was the farmer, Jack Gourdon’s, livelihood. The unscrupulous corporation spent time and money systematically throwing some of its own seeds into pumpkin patches of farmers that had refused to buy their seeds. Once they could prove the farmers were using THEIR seeds, the farmers had no choice but to pay MedUSA or leave farming, but Jack refused to give up. However, when he went to sabotage the MedUSA research farm, he was doused with the very same xenopox serum seen in my <i>Desideratum: Blood Bonds</i> game. Now on a mission to destroy MedUSA and anyone that works for or with them, Jack, who is now known as the Sinister Squash, leads an army of mutant pumpkins. His roots grow deep into his minions, and they obey without reason or concern for themselves. What is his part in the story? Will Trixie become little more than a walking vegetable? [[Back|PromoFactions]]
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Promos/FactionMenageriePromo.jpg]]</div> MedUSA is a corporation well known in the Anaxverse. They supply Americans with everyday household items from shampoo to the plastics used in countless items. They also supply the government with research into bioweaponry among other things. However, an animal rights activist grew tired of the inhumane testing and conditions of the MedUSA labs in regards to the animals there. While infiltrating one of their labs in Montauk, New York, she discovered that it was far more horrific than she imagined. They were using the very same xenopox serum seen in my <i>Desideratum: Blood Bonds</i> game on animals and humans. The results were mutants as we have seen in the Portland Sewers in the aforementioned game. Mad with rage, she managed to free the mutants and destroy the lab. Of course, MedUSA labeled her a terrorist. Soon she was shunned by everyone she ever knew- including the very group that had sent her undercover. Driven to the brink, she abandoned everything and used her mutants as minions. Thus, the Zookeeper was born. With armies of mutants at her command, she lashes out at society. Sickened by the world around her, she plans to use xenopox to turn everyone in New York into her mutant thralls. Will Trixie end up a furry pet or can she find a way to stop this villain? [[Back|PromoFactions]]
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Promos/FactionSwarmPromo.jpg]]</div> With the sudden and inexplicable death and disappearance of bees around the world, MedUSA vowed to help. They were losing profits in countless countries over the lack of bee pollination. One researcher, a bee keeper hobbyist as well, worked tirelessly on the project. As her superiors ordered results, they suggested she utilize the very same xenopox serum seen in my <i>Desideratum: Blood Bonds</i> game to find a way to strengthen bees. If the bees could be made stronger and able to work longer, survive longer, and be even smarter about their work, it would not only solve the bee problem, making MedUSA a hero in the eyes of their consumer slaves, but it would increase the profits! As one might expect when one plays with the blood of a god, things did not go well. Any normal bees seemed to die, but she did find promise in wasps. In an attempt to mutate a wasp with a bee, she created a monster. This mutant insect grew quickly and managed to break out of the sealed lab. It injected her with its poison just as help arrived, and it was slain. The affect on her was immediate, with the influx of xenopox in her body from the wasp mutant, she transformed. Her pheromones can make humans into her willing drones and with a single sting she can turn them into mutant slaves. Queen Sting is cold and calculating, but also egotistical. She desires to take over the world, if possible, and turn everyone into obedient, efficient workers. Can Trixie face off against her swarm and survive, or will she become a honeypot for the Queen? [[Back|PromoFactions]]
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Promos/FactionTerrorbotsPromo.jpg]]</div> The supervillain known as Terrorbyte was not always robotic. She was originally a hacker in the 1980's. She first hacked into private industry before cracking into the Pentagon. This caused widespread panic, and the government wasted no taxpayer money in locating her. She had been tempted to start a nuclear war, just to see what it would be like, but never did. She was captured and sentenced to prison. However, the government came and made her a deal- if she worked for them, she could have access to tech she could never have imagined existed. She agreed and found the tech was partially backwards engineered technology from the spacecraft the crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 (as discussed in the character unlock for Oliver Willoughby in my <i>Cereborg: Inception</i> game). It turned out they wanted to use the tech to hack the minds of Russian spies. She could not believe it was real, but when she tested it, she found that the device could, in fact, decompile all the data of the abstract concept of a mind, abstract to human's at least, and she could use it to hack though the mental defenses of the trained KGB agents. She played nice at first and gave the government what they wanted. However, once they lowered their guard, she used the device for her own ends, leaving bits of her own code in the minds of the agents. When the agents suddenly rose up at the same time, chaos broke out in the installation, and she used her new slaves to capture and reprogram the governmental officials. By the time help came, it appeared as if it had all been a false alarm. Over time her power grew, but she became exposed. As the assassination team cleared the complex, she saw no hope except for one. Using the machine, she hacked into the government's internet, SIPRNet, and managed to slip herself into the code just as her physical body was killed. Hidden as nothing but binary, she rifled through the top secret and classified information, and found a type of robot being worked on. She eventually downloaded herself into it, and though rudimentary at the time, in the 80's, she escaped the lab where it was being constructed. She hid, and as time went on, she acquired better technology by breaking into homes and killing the occupants or doing the same to labs. By the year 2010 she had managed to eke out a corner of organized crime. Her new body was constantly upgraded, and she had been able to replicate, to some degree, the tech from the spacecraft. Using it, she could hack human brains and even replace their biological parts with robotic ones. Eventually, she had a small army of drones, little more than nodes in her own mental program, their humanity gone. Now, she desires to hack the minds of everyone in New York City at once, using the city as the staging ground for world domination. Can Trixie manage to stop her, or will she become a reprogrammed cyborg willing to aid in the subjugation of humanity? [[Back|PromoFactions]]
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Promos/FactionToxsickPromo.jpg]]</div> Toxsicka was originally named Envira Mentha, an advocate for climate accords and she wanted to see all pollution end. Her heart broke as she watched the world dying, species being driven to extinction, and the suffering of humans with birth defects and health issues. Her ideology grew traction, as she used social media as a platform. As an activist she flew around the world, making documentaries and uploading evidence of corporations and world corruption in regards to pollution and climate change. This, of course, led to public outrage and hurt corporate profits both from consumers not purchasing as much as they once did from said companies- and worse- it meant that these corporations would have to actually implement safer practices, which was expensive. Their armies of lobbyists even failed to turn governments to their side, because so many constituents and voters were vehemently on the side of Envira. However, all of this came to a head just a few years ago when she was abducted by a hit squad sent from a conglomeration of corporations, MedUSA among them. The kill team was mean to simply murder her and dispose of the body, ensuring that she simply disappeared. However, they decided poetic justice would be funny, and took her to a toxic waste dump. As she kicked and pleaded for her life, they lowered her into a vat of glowing goo. Then, after a few moments under, the chain fell loose. Suddenly, she leapt over the side of the massive container and charged at her assailants. The men emptied entire clips of bullets into the now irradiated woman, but she reached them and found they literally melted in her hands. Some tried to escape, but being close to her, they slowly developed radiation burns and did not even reach their vehicle before seeming to die. However, she watched as they rose to their feet. They came back to her, and she found they seemed to obey her every command. She soon learned that she could not breathe clean air or be outside of deadly, toxic conditions. Her minions seemed weakened as well when they strayed too far from her or a radioactive or poisonous area. She had witnessed so much evil in the world, and was now toxic to the very Earth she had wanted to heal. However, with all that had happened, she became a twisted soul, and longed now to make the world a place where she could walk freely. If humans wanted a dying world, she’d give it to them. Her mission is nothing less than to pollute and toxify everything on the surface. Can Trixie stand up against such a foe, or will she become one of the Toxsick, happily poisoning the people and creatures of the world? [[Back|PromoFactions]]

You have to make sure that you escape with it, or else, all of her work will be for nothing and all the people that could be saved- will forever be lost. Finally, running along the red-lit corridor, you happen upon <<linkto "the laboratory!" "Trix69">> <<audio ':all' stop>> <<audio "giggle_drama" volume 0.3 loop play>>
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter2/TrixStory69.png]]</div> The lab appears eerie in the dark night. Luckily, it also has some emergency lighting. You make a quick glance around. Strange equipment glows here and there, and you notice canisters with radioactive symbols on them- which makes you uneasy. You quickly make your way towards the back right corner, where she said the safe <<linkto "would be." "Trix70">>
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter2/TrixStory70.png]]</div> At first, you do not see it. However, you notice a dark shape behind the frosted plastic curtains hanging from the ceiling. As you come round them, the safe stands before you. Your hands still shake from adrenaline as you try imputing the code that Weston wrote down. Then it beeps and you are able to open it. As you do, a green light emits <<linkto "from within." "Trix71">>
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter2/TrixStory71.png]]</div> There sits the cure for the giggles! It glows green, illuminating the cold solid safe from within. Part of you feels concerned over the unnatural glow. With the radiation canisters sitting across the room, it might indicate that this has unstable material inside it. Will you be bombarded with isotopes and die? Or, more likely, they might be filled with what would have caused radiation poisoning in the first place making this liquid safe. Either way, your ethical heart and humanitarian desire to save others trumps your fears, so you grab <<linkto "the bottle." "Trix72">>
<div align="center">[img[Pictures/Chapter2/TrixStory72.png]]</div> As you run away, you hear screams and laughter coming from the nearby rooms, so you make for the stairs.

Ha ha ha!”@@ It’s the Giggler- and he knows your name! @@.Giggler;“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”@@ You immediately leap into the nearest room!

His voice suddenly sounds like mock sorrow, @@.Giggler;“Aww! I know that you have the sad medicine. Boo hoo hoo! All I want to do is make people, HA HA, happy!

Then he laughs in a very evil and direct tone, @@.Giggler;“Heh, ha ha ha!”@@ You grasp the bottle tightly and ball yourself up on the ground. Staring towards the empty doorway you begin shaking in fright and then long white fingers emerge around the doorframe. Sharp green claws tip them as the fingers wrap around the doorjamb. Then as the red hair on his head comes into view you can only force your eyes closed! You know that the Giggler is looking right at you now and you have never been so utterly scared before. You almost wet yourself as your body quakes in abject terror. Then, there is absolute silence. A minute passes. Yet another goes by and there is no sound.

The Giggler’s cartwheel is timed so perfectly that as he finishes, he throws his bodyweight upwards sending his massive clown feet into the wide chest of Atlas. The force of the supervillain’s strength is so great that it actually knocks the huge man backwards. Using the chest as a springboard, he fires himself off of Atlas and ricochets towards Veteran! As he does so, he extends an arm clothes-lining Flora and then slams into Veteran with his shoulder. The pair smashes through the wall and glass of the waiting room office! They land right next to you and the Giggler looks up grinning. His eyes bore into yours as he says, @@.Giggler;“See? I said it would be really cool!

The giggles spread across the populace, and from what you gathered, Weston became giggled as well. Using her original concept for a cure, she created several different, highly contagious, fabricated giggled viruses. New York City was renamed <i>Clown Town</i> and quarantined. You and the pilot fled north to a city named Webb. There, in a small town, everyone considered the area safe, but within days, the Giggle Gang managed to find ways out of NYC. You then fled by boat as the area became infested. From there, you departed and ended up on an island in the middle of Big Moose Lake.

Your group had found a massive mansion during the island expeditions. It exuded creepiness, so you had all agreed to avoid it. However, on Halloween night, green light filled the forest at sunset. Then a massive <i>thing</i> appeared. It looked like a twelve foot tall man in a suit wearing a bowler hat. It began possessing people and you fled horrified into the night.

When Veteran returned to the U.S.A. he was the first superhero to ever be recognized and he founded A.C.E., the Altruistic Coalition of Ethics. Over time, due to the atomic age, the numbers of humans that possessed strange powers continued to grow around the world. Those that used these powers honorably and for good causes were welcomed to join the ranks. Occasionally, this would cause political disruption in America, as A.C.E. is not a governmental agency, and Veteran allowed people of any race or nationality to join while racism was still rampant in America. He also did not deny anyone their sexuality which caused yet other ripples in the 20th century. Anyone of the LGBTQ communities (before even such communities existed) was also allowed to join. Veteran’s ideals were always an inspiration to your grandfather, and he, in turn, hoped that you would enjoy learning about a superhero that he idolized.

And, while there are hundreds, if not a thousand, villains in the city, I unlocked the nine members of S.I.N. so that you can familiarize yourself with them. Most heroes and villains are stronger than your average human, but nowhere near the level that you are at.
