Perfect Dark Zero
Predating the first Perfect Dark title by three years in the year 2020, Perfect Dark Zero follows the exploits of Joanna Dark prior to her joining the Carrington Institute as an agent. With her father, Jack Dark at her side, Joanna has become a competent bounty hunter already skilled in marksmanship and espionage. Already creating a name for herself, the same can be said for the insidious megacorporation dataDyne who have slowly began to control every aspect of the future with their invasive products and ulterior agenda. After her father is taken captive by dataDyne forces, Joanna attempts an ill-advised rescue mission that sees her father killed at the hands of Mai-Hem, son of dataDyne founder, Zhang-Li. Marking her personal vendetta against dataDyne, Joanna Dark soon finds herself immersed in the extraterrestrial world that was hidden from her, and the budding agent-in-training attempts to intercept the megacorp and botch their plans to use the alien devices for corruption. With her fathers death driving her ever onward, dataDyne is all too unaware of the perfect match it’s made for itself…
