The race is close, with both runners clearly matched in abilities-though Celeste appears to use a system called the "beatLink" to give herself a tactical advantage. Faith holds multiple records for dashes in the area, a fact which piques Celeste's interest as she challenges her to a race. The meeting is interrupted by a rival runner gang, led by Celeste, a woman confident in her abilities who doesn't hesitate to establish her superiority. The two runners who infiltrated the building state that the mission was a success, but that Noah has ordered them not to include Faith in any more jobs for the time being-much to her chagrin. They are surprised that Faith escaped Dogen with not only her life but a job offer as well. The argument escalates when Faith reveals she was caught-Noah is fearful about what harm Dogen could have done to her, calling him scum and warning Faith against further association with him.įaith and the other runners of Noah's cabal are gathered on a rooftop. He is angry that she helped out with a datagrab job without his permission-he considers her too hot headed and reckless, not yet ready for the more high risk running jobs. He is waiting for her inside and berates her for her behaviour. Later, Faith is sneaking into an abandoned building- the home she shares with her mentor, Noah. She stumbles on the way out, dropping the picture but making it out of the building. After Dogen tells her the piece would cost her more than she could hope to pay, she elects to take it from the wall and run-interrupting the crime boss as he offers her a job. In the office, Faith is shocked to find one of the pieces of art decorating the walls is familiar-it was created by her deceased mother, once a brilliant scientist and a core figure in the freedom movement. They take her to the office of their boss, Dogen, though instead of punishing her for her actions he takes a liking to the runner. She proceeds to attract the attention of a group of guards and leads them on a chase, allowing for another two runners to sneak into a building they were guarding.įaith accidentally leads the guards to a rooftop meeting between gangs, causing a fight which Faith takes advantage of to escape-though she is later found and apprehended by two of the gangsters present at the meet. The story opens with Faith sat atop a rooftop, observing the ordinary lives of the employees below and contemplating her own situation. A number of events set in motion will find resolutions in Catalyst, and a handful of characters will make re-appearances. While giving her the action she's been craving, this association causes tension between herself and her mentor Noah as well as ultimately forcing her to make a decision between her objectives and her entire way of life.Īccording to writer Christofer Emgard, "Exordium" is the first half of Faith's coming of age story. As a young and confident runner eager to make a name for herself, Faith's actions land her in the path of Dogen, a local crime boss who happens to possess a rare piece of Faith's past.
