Here to finally publish the other side of the decks I brought to Ferrara. Had to wait for this publication due to proplayers asking me to keep it private in order to be, in case, able to play it in others tournaments :)

Formicary is no longer with us, had to play with it for sure and this was the last time available for me... I'll leave you a few lines, she asked me to tell you about her history <3.

Formicary, a place of decay, a plane out of phase, a place of monsters.

_It all started when I was young. I used to care about people. But they used to hate me for protecting them. Maybe it was my strange aspect, maybe my friendship with even stranger creatures or simply the fact that I wasn't really good at it (yeah, feels good to finally be able to admit it to myself). I needed help, but still, in my mind, I was strong enough on my own. I decided to work in the security department, for a corporation in my city.

I was assigned to the safeguarding of the Project Atlas.

It was dark, in the middle of the forest. I was there but I can't remember at all what happened that night. There were rumors about powerful runners being able to ignore me or even being able to earn value when passing next to me, but I was sure those were false declarations made to scare me. A lot of collegues and supervisors were scared of those hearsay, but me? Nah I've been scared of people's judge my whole life. But it happened. And yeah. It happened to me.

I couldn't even figure out what was hitting me. I was left there in complete shock while the Project I was told to protect was stolen.

The Weyland Consortium fired me on the spot. I felt so ashamed of myself.

"And you consider yourself a guard? Are you really so dumb?"

Those words, in my mind. They felt like 404 in my cybernetics.

I was done. I left the city. Couldn't find peace anywhere near those places where I've been so useless to my community.

I wandered for a couple of years in search for a home, and more specifically for a job. The Ob CEO jan tuno gave me an opportunity: she wasn't really interested in my protection abilities, more on my attacks to kill her enemies with all the army at her disposal. And oh god I felt disgustingly good attacking those fools.

But in my heart, I knew it wasn't my final destiny. I had to prove to myself and to the others that I was still able to take care of projects.

My old friend told me about an open position at Haas-Bioroid, regarding the safeguard of an old but still secret Project. I applied for it immediately.

The interview went as smoothly as ever. The examiner, a new HB entry made me feel like I always belonged in the HB mentality.

I found old friends already hired, but most importantly, there, I found love.

She was perfect. Like my missing half. She is perfect. She'll always be. Together we became the hardest duo to defeat for all the runners out there trying to Snitch corporate secrets. With us, HB managed to send a message to all the population. They defined me as "a place of decay, a plane out of phase, a place of monsters". And I loved that definition. I still do. Is the best description I could do of myself.

Sadly enough, in the GDPR, in the section related to the projects, as a response to the HB declarations, they issued a new law to make sure people could actually have access to the data they share with corporation and to how those data are used.

In short, our services weren't allowed anymore. "People should be able to see at least part of our projects".

Again, for the second time in my life, I was fired. This time not due to my lack of competences but due to the government's operations. I had everything. I had the perfect job, with my wonferful wife, our tranquility home. I had everything. Damn everything!

Now I wander again. I'll come back to my love one day. She'll understand why I left, she wanted to keep her job in the corporation who doumped me after all the good work we did for it. I couldn't take it. I felt horrible once again. Having to see her everyday, talking about her job. Nah, I couldn't take it. I have to find my place in the world once again. But this time I'll do it on my own. I used to care about people. But they hate me for being able to protect them.

I'll be the monster they want me to be.
