### Preamble

> "*Welcome to our brave new world. A world free of strife. There's no need for you to rush, you're already where you were meant to be. There's no need for you to think. The pressure is removed. All decisions are made. We've offered you comfort, harmony, and order, requiring only that you **obey**.*"
> ― Unknown Master

    The introductory cutscene begins inside a skyscraper within the Downtown area, without any detailed or specific information of current events. On a screen inside the building is shown an unknown person who is *presumed* to be the master, controlling all workers by making them wear mind-controlling devices to work in the skyscraper and to respect him via obedience, because of the heavy security and the CCTV systems inside the building.

The master welcomes the workers to the "brave new world", a world free of conflicts and wars in which things are achieved with little to no effort, and tells them that they're already where they were meant to be, they do not need to think, all decisions are made, and has offered them comfort, harmony and order in exchange for their complete obedience. These words alone have spoken many definitions about the totalitarian world, in which workers become brainwashed slaves and are rendered unconscious because of the mind-controlling devices they are forced to wear.

    As the cutscene continues, a worker inexplicably regains consciousness from the mind-controlling device, seemingly distressed, something which the controlling device would've otherwise prevented. He realizes the severity of the brainwashing, and he screams in despair before defecting and taking off the device. Out of the millions of workers inside the skyscraper, he was the only one left with a slight chance to escape. Not long after taking out the device, the entire building has been put in lockdown, the lights started flashing red and progress inside the building has been halted.

    The defection has also caught the attention of a nearby squad of Hunters, and they have been dispatched to catch the runaway. After taking off his tie and jacket, the runaway jumps out of a window, with the Hunters chasing him. And thus, the Vector logo appears and the long run begins.

### Downtown

The runaway keeps running about the Downtown area until he is cornered, but another runaway saves him from the Hunter. The runaways and a Hunter go to the rooftop where the duo is being chased. The duo evades a Hunter and the unknown man gives the runaway the keys to his flying car so the runaway can get out of the city Downtown. After this happens, the unknown man is captured while the runaway escapes.

### Construction Yard

The main character arrives at a large construction site when the car suddenly runs out of gas. He jumped off its back and started a very long chase. At the end of the chase, when the runaway enters the elevator and evades yet another Hunter, a third runaway, this time a female, used a grappling gun and struggled to get to the roof and onto her glider. The man escapes with her, but because the glider can't hold the weight of two people, the man throws himself out when the glider crashes.

### Technology Park

The chase lasted until the runaway found a motorbike and that was the time for him to escape from the Technology Park area.

But unfortunately, the runaway crashed into a concrete, causing him to be thrown off the motorcycle and into a building. The main character keeps running until he is completely surrounded by Hunters.

The inevitable outcome

Thus, the runaway is captured, and a cutscene shows him put in stasis inside a cloning tube, along with 2 other runaways, while being marked as Subjects **306**, **307** and **308** respectively.

## Vector 2 Story

However, instead of executing him, the scientists have decided to use his incredible endurance and stamina skills to test out new equipment inside a building only known as "The Complex", a research facility built on an unknown location which secretly performs cloning experiments.

Vector 2's introductory cutscene shows the runaway suffering from nightmares and flashbacks of serving as a slave to his master and defecting from the skyscraper. Shortly after, the runaway wakes up from his cloning tube and inside an impressively built laboratory inside the Complex. There, he looks to a panel on his right with details and procedure phases, then he looks on his left, where a robot is present, and gets off the tube.

### Trivia

* The series does not directly tell how far Vector is into the future, however in Vector 2 the A.I. states that the numbers "2168" could refer to a date "approximately 20 years ago" meaning that the series' events take place in the year 2188, near the end of the 22nd century.
* It is still unclear how the man managed to take off his mind control device. One theory surrounding this is that his device has malfunctioned, while another theory states that it was the man's desire to be free of control and escape the office prison that helped him do so.
