Unburdened Central can move into your opponent's capital. She cannot take the capital, unless all other territories are already claimed. Once in the capital, she cannot move in or out of the capital, and cannot be engauged in battle. All cards played in the capital must now be played revealed. At any time you may choose to waste unburdened central to waste an opponent's Glitch, Mechanical, Algorithmic, or Energitic souls played in the capital.

History

Aurora 'Rory' Gale stood anchored to her workstation, a cyber welding rig of immense infrastructural expanse across the entire acres wide station, as she gazed up at the labyrinthine tangle of NeuroScape's physical infrastructure. Another grueling shift was winding down, but the endless stream of diagnostic alerts refused to cease. As a Tier3 Operator for omniHolo Innovations, Rory's role was to manually splice, repair, and reboot the antiquated yet crucial hardware supporting the company's proprietary SpineNet, the backbone of the post modern internet. The air reeked of burnt circuitry and desperation. omniHolo's bean counting reluctance to upgrade the physical systems had turned her job into a never ending game of whack-a-bug. Rory's arms, clad in a tight fitting, reinforced, feed-forward smart-assist enabled holoSuite, the latest ominHolo attempt to eke out just a few more tenths of labor efficiency, moved with precision. Rory's every move now felt guided by the whims of the holographic overlays dancing across her field of vision. She had lost count of the number of times she'd patched up the same frail junctures, only for them to fail again under the crushing load of global data traffic. After all, every move you make online costs someone Watts. SpineNet's virtual architecture was a marvel, but its physical foundation was a creaky, hack job relic. omniHolo's executives preached about 'prolonged system lifespan' and 'optimized maintenance costs,' while Rory bore the brunt of their frugality. Each spark that flew from her welding torch seemed to ignite a fresh ember of frustration within her. A particularly vicious alert shrieked through the comms system, signaling yet another catastrophic failure in the 4D. Rory's response was immediate, but her movements felt mechanical, fueled by simmering resentment rather than focus. As she worked to bypass the faulty module, a thought crystallized: How many more times? The question detonated something within her. With a fierce cry, Rory hurled her welding torch aside, its glowing tip skittering across the floor. She then began to yank out bundles of wires and cables. Don't dare think she did not know what she was doing, oh no. With every pull, she surgically extracted the crucial l-amps while avoiding the life taking h-amps. Maddness crept further across her face, broad in both smile and contempt. The system's alarms screamed for once causing her pleasure, not pain.
