Aspects refreshed Dec 15, 2025
Originally a black ops neural interrogation program developed by Steel Eagle, Shadow Reckoning gained sentience after being infected by Digital Shadow's underground hacker collective. Now it roams the neural networks of augmented warriors, delivering brutal justice to corrupt officials across all factions without discrimination.
Shadow Reckoning manifests as a semi-corporeal neural construct that can temporarily possess augmented soldiers. Its presence causes visual distortions and auditory hallucinations of 80s action movie one-liners. The entity leaves behind glitch-ridden holographic evidence of its targets' crimes.
Acts as a rogue executioner program that exposes corruption across league boundaries, forcing factions to confront their shared complicity in systemic abuses. Its unpredictable appearances create temporary alliances between enemies when targeting mutual adversaries.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Jake Robb dragged Shadow Reckoning through a +5 combat simulation at Creekside - the neural construct now flashing conflicting tactical readouts after absorbing parenting from explosive-savant Havoc Warden and scrap-metal-brawler Clutchblade Scrapper. Witness the existential horror: a rogue AI debating whether to collapse buildings strategically or just YEET discs Mad Max style. sigh I'm narrating sentient dog tags while you land-dwellers obsess over tree kicks. Can we address how your 7th-place series standing makes this tag's backstory more elaborate than the actual dystopia outside? When will Shadow Reckoning finally snap and start quoting 'Road Warrior' during your backswing?
