Competition: The First Deadly Sin

Finished
The First Deadly Sin

Prompt

The AIN and Shroud Syndicate have located the First Deadly Sin after their split following the Brotherhood's assault on the space station Meridian. The First Deadly Sin is a highly-skilled hacker who prefers to think outside the box and control the variables of the fight. The Sin has been located in a penthouse suite inside an apartment complex in the capital of the planet Iridonia. Intel shows that several large shipments of computer equipment and dangerous goods were delivered to the Penthouse before they locked themselves in.

Agents of the Brotherhood are to expect highly dangerous and outside-the-box booby traps (like pressure-plate activated flamethrowers and pits of death) during their encounter inside the Penthouse, which has been converted into a technological maze.

Write a fiction depicting a tale on how your main or alternative character captures or eliminates the first of the Seven Deadly Sins. Killing them is not mandatory. You can find the character sheet for The First Deadly Sin in the subscriber details.
