Bristling with new cyber enhancements and still jangling from a tour of duty in the MidEastFed, I'm on the homeward bounce to USCom. I need R&R but for the first time ever, I'm going to try the services of a cyberpet. I need to make sure I have my aggression under control before I trust myself with a real girl.
The cyberpet could not have been sweeter, it was just a shame the evening turned into such a disaster. The fight wasn't my fault, I didn't even start it. I wouldn't have broken the security bots if they'd left me any choice. Now my only chance is to hitch an illegal ride right back into combat. Which drops me into even deeper trouble
I wind up on a high-security detail, bodyguarding the dark lord of the AIs. He's just taking some meetings, deep into the enemy territory. with some spies, a drug cartel and a minister who's playing both sides.
What could possibly go wrong?
