Militech Chronicles V

Crynn POV

"And what offer did he get," I asked after a second, a street rocker and a gang of mercenaries, maybe some big lump of cash or something more... "Is this explosive idea genuinely explosive?" Calian also questioned, wait... Could Militech give this street rocker a bomb or something, sounds like an immensely terrible idea.

"It is not just explosive, it is also very radioactive," radioactive, did she just combine radioactive and explosive together?! "You mean, a nuke?!" Well forgive me if I sound shocked but you don't generally give a street rocker nukes to play with, it's not a very strategic method of plan implementation.

"We've got a winner it seems. I actually have a full list of the members that assaulted and bombed Arasaka Tower, right here. Number two will amaze you, courtesy to clickbait titles. It consisted of, the rocker boy, Johnny Silverhand, Top mercenary and presently best fixer, Rogue Amendiares, I told you number two would surprise you."

So the information broker is also a woman that nuked the city, that's... wow. "The cyborg freelancer, Shaitan, Elusive reporter and now media mogul, Thompson and legendary netrunner, Spider Murphy, they make quite a team. So, this information is very complete even to the process in which Militech and Johnny stroke their deal."

"It quite clearly says that Johnny isn't a man enticed by money, he's well off but he's not a gold digger nor care much about materials. But what could entice him enough though is the perfect revenge towards Arasaka, simply blow their tower and expel their operations out of North America, something he's quick to accept."

"But who's not quick to accept is the rest of the team, this mission is very dangerous and though high risk is also high rewards. Johnny doesn't want to accept corporate money because he hates corporations the most but the others, they accept money from just about anyone and so, Militech only paid to everyone on the team except Johnny who's only there because of vengeance and vengeance only."

"It's pretty simple really, Militech will give a diversion on the bottom of Arasaka tower by some well staged riots which will move the Arasaka forces on the building downwards towards the ground, away from where the real attack would commence. Basically, Militech is quite generous in supplying necessary equipment for the mercenaries to breach the tower, not that they need it, everyone on the list is pretty much almost rich during the time."

"One of the equipment used in the attack supplied by Militech is a helicopter, one of the most advanced at the time with two cannons on the sides easily ripping and tearing through and apart the Arasaka guards on the top helipad of the tower in which everyone landed on and made their move into the building."

"Now here is where it gets hazy, the point is, they successfully went in and not only blew up the building, they also somehow crippled and sent a virus to Arasaka's main database, corrupting everything in the process which resulted in a loss of billions and billions of eurodollars. Johnny died in the attack, and the others escaped safely albeit having their chopper shot down."

"So where are these characters nowadays, well Rogue is pretty much loaded, Shaitan is still doing dangerous missions but also being loaded, Spider Murphy went off somewhere and was last seen in 2072 in which her condition seems very loaded as well, lastly, the reporter, I already said, he's a media mogul, just imagine him being this world's Rupert Murdoch." (A.N : Rupert Murdoch is an Australian Billionaire and media mogul famously owning Fox)

"Like any good shameless leader, the president of both Militech and the US blamed Arasaka for the fallout, thousands died by the way if you hadn't noticed, they blamed it all on Arasaka with a simple, they planned to destroy their headquarters bringing everyone down with them. But later on, the president's statement was broken by a nomad."

"He exposed the president of his deeds, listing that she hired the mercenaries and nuked the tower explaining that Arasaka never had a nuke stored in the tower in the first place. Of course, words without facts are nothing but words, the nomad however, displayed glaring truth, truth that Militech to this day accused of being a hoax but everyone new clearly who was the hoax here."

"So because of Militech's nationalization, it never quite became a private company any more, from the end of the fourth corporate war, Militech has turned into a fully national corporation with its presidents becoming American presidents as well in the future, but let's fast forward a few decades into a much more important time."

"The Unification War, also known as the Metal War for the sheer amount of metal used in the war occurred from 2069 to 2070 is a huge conflict in North America. The new US president after the long reign of Elizabeth Kress is Rosalind Myers, she's newly elected, and US' favorite woman, the only problem, she has ambitions, big ambitions which she never stated during her campaigns."

"Unification of the USA, apparently, some states went independent of something somewhere in time, not sure, not discussing that. Of course, Rosalind Myers is also an ex-Militech president which means this war will also involve Militech as they are now a national corporation tied directly to the government with the majority of the board members working part time as US ministers as well."

"With such firepower, the USA now known as NUSA or New United States of America teamed up with Southern California and Utah to try and beat the hell out of the Free States, a group made to defend against this atrocity, members of it are Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, Nevada and Northern California, there are more free states but they remained neutral all except for the Republic of Texas who in Texas fashion, decided it would be a great idea to declare war on both the Free States and the NUSA."

"So, let's begin, thankfully, this should be a lot shorter than the previous Militech vs Arasaka war."
