   Summary

   Set during the dark years between whatever happened after MD and before DX1. Adam Jensen essentially no longer exists: instead he is a shambling, decommissioned husk, surviving in a post-mechanical-augmentations world by carrying out hits for crime lords. Until he runs into an old friend.

   Frank works a remote IT job, doesn't leave the house except for groceries, and had thought his ex-coworker was dead... Now that he knows otherwise, he's not sure he wants to let go.

   Happy ending, cw's by chapter. Rating will not change.
