It is a hot, humid day in a sprawling city beside a river. The year is 2090, and slimeroaches (clear/green insect-like beings about the size of a hand) have infested the world. They came from the unexplored ocean, and are made of thick, almost gelatinous water. They appear to be herbivores, but without notable organs or a carbon-based body, they are impossible to truly figure out. They have begun to eat, and while people themselves are uninteresting to the slow chew of the slimeroaches, most wood, vegetable, and fruit are happy food. Exterminators began to form, gaining money quickly by destroying the slimeroaches via the only way they know how - dehydrating them to a small form, then burning them to death. Burning would also work, but most slimeroaches infest wooden areas, and the city does not want errant fires. The typical setup of an exterminator is a time of at least two - one who specializes in dehydrating the roaches by setting up traps, or simply shooting them with bbguns full of dehydration pellets, and another who scans the area for more slimeroaches with a device, sweeping the tiny pellets up for cremation later. The job is not incredibly dangerous, though it is not necessarily viewed as noble. It is a dirty job, typically going in to abandoned buildings, or hired by pompous rich folk who care a lot for their fine drapery. A horde of slimeroaches can cause irreparable damage to a city by taking down buildings, and often can do so in less than a week. This means that at times, exterminators have to work quickly in order to avoid being crushed by a building. Slimeroaches eat anything that is not meat, and do so at differing rates by what the object may be, slowly engulfing it with their bodies and having it melt away into themselves. They tend to avoid metals and plastics, though there are rare cases that have eaten these, as well.

The team you are a part of is Sami's, either taking her role, or Rat's. The team consists of Sami, the lead exterminator, who is small and agile, as well as a good shot with her bbgunn. She is a hard leader, who began her team with Pila three years ago at the height of extermination business. She is not the most notable group, but she received a job from the city to clear a large, thirteen story apartment complex before it crumbles. Pila is her scanner, who tends to stay slightly back with a plastic broom and a container. She is connected to Sami's ears at all times, telling her where to go for more slimeroaches as indicated by her scanner she keeps on her arm. Rat has only been with them half a year, and while being a more seasoned exterminator, is still not quite used to the more militant and serious nature of Sami's group. His own group crumbled in the competition, and had been scrambling for a job since. His is a larger fellow, a horrible shot, but offers Sami ideas of dehydration traps, which are often necessary for catching the harder-to-find slimeroaches in larger areas.
