Rise of Atom

Step into the polished shoes of Chad Ironjaw, CEO of a sprawling research-and-development behemoth. From his luxurious office he gazes out over Millenniumopolis, the city of tomorrow, where gargantuan Art Deco skyscrapers, studded with gargoyles and neon lights, pierce through the clouds What does a day in the life of Mr. Ironjaw look like, you may ask? The elevator doors part with a hiss, and he takes his seat while his ever-loyal AI assistant, Helena, briefs him on today’s agenda. The radio crackles to life, and Johnny Hertz launches into yet another opinionated broadcast, though Mr. Ironjaw can only hope his yapping will be short-lived, and that music will soon reclaim the airwaves. From then on, he runs the company however he pleases. Perhaps he directs his empire toward marvels of progress: robotic servants, flying cars, towering vertical farms, or interstellar ships, ushering humanity into a golden age.. Or perhaps the government’s deep coffers prove too enticing, and he chooses to design swarms of surveillance drones and bone-liquefying sonic weapons for riot control. Or maybe still, his ambitions stretch further than profit, perhaps Chad Ironjaw intends to apply his leadership skills not just to industry, but to the entire world, by force. Indeed, science has no morality of its own. How will Mr. Ironjaw choose to wield it? Well, that’s up to you. • Hire distinguished scientists & train their skills! • Create your dream scientist in a vat, from stolen DNA, and extract his brain to boost productivity! (painless) • Or use super computers instead! (they complain less) Forge the science of tomorrow and create wonders the likes of which the world has never seen, such as: • Compact fission and fusion reactors small enough to fit in your home basement. • Flying cars, personal jetpacks, and vacuum-levitating trains. • Robotic servants with countless optional upgrade modules, each sold separately, of course. • Cybernetic implants enhancing intelligence, strength, longevity, and productivity. • Advanced spacecraft, suits, and orbital habitats built to survive the harshest corners of the Solar System. • Stealth suits and robotic spy-flies, perfect for subtle corporate acquisitions. • Truth serums to keep our fine intelligence agencies ever-efficient. • Pacifying pheromones, because a calm citizen is a happy citizen! • Surveillance drones, pre-crime detectors, and social credit systems to keep order in our great nation. Undertake a wide range of quests and let your moral compass lead the way: • Engage in philanthropic endeavors (or not) • Prevent mutually assured destruction (or not) • Save mankind from famine and plague (or not) • Cooperate with government requests for backdoors (strongly advised) • Take over the world (you’ve earned it, champ!) And many more! Build the future—whether humanity’s ready for it or not!
