GLOBAL DOMINATION
Australia. After the Taiwan Exodus. After the South China Sea Incident. After the Port of Darwin Conflagration. After the Scorch of Taiwan...
The Doomsday Clock lurched to one second to Midnight.

Tying them all together is the megacorporation, Guidance Inc. and the powers behind it, desperately trying to control what is about to be unleashed.
Although control is an illusion: Sea. Air. Land. Space...AI...
