Official description

During the end of the 20:th century, the american public started to get tired of seeing their sons and daughters returning in bags from wars in Europe and the Far East. In order to continue the struggle for political stability and a secure economic flow, without the insight from an increasingly irritated population, new invincible soldiers was needed. The best scientists available were assigned to work on the creation of such a soldier. Far below the surface of the ground, in a military base in the Nevada desert, they started to develop a warrior, half man, half robot - a Cyborg. After a couple of months of hard work, the project was very close to completion. The only thing that remained was to find a human being, ready to be rebuilt to better serve his country.
But it turned out to be harder than expected to find such a human. After trying through all the regular channels, they realized that it would be impossible to get volunteers within the military community. The politicians expected results, and since no prototype had been completed yet, financing was starting to become a problem. In order to prevent the termintation of the project, it was now decided that the plan of getting a volunteer was to be abandoned. Instead, it was decided that "volunteers" were to be chosen among the civilian nobodys, who no one would miss anyway, and use them insted.

The head of the research department called for a top secret meeting with the CIA and the commanding officer of the base, where they decided who would be chosen for the project. The first one to be chosen, and in a matter of days kidnapped from his own bedroom, was an uneducated father of two children living in Nevada. Urban Gutter. After being sent to sleep he was taken to the Nevada base, where the project finally could be completed. After going through a thorough brainwash, the work of replacing easily damaged biological organs with metal equivalents was started.

The project was almost completed, when the accident suddenly struck. During the final stage of the control-code uploading, Urban Gutter suddenly came to his sence. Without any security device drivers yet installed, he turned his rage against his creators, and started massacre everyone in the surgery room on a cold-blooded and completely inhumane way, before he started to head for the surface.

You are all that's left of Urban Gutter, a cyborg of no feelings, with the one and only mission to get out of the military base, and to create the worst blood bath possible on the way.
