    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    2054. Douglas Pistoia is desperately looking for work, but only a private military contracting firm, Multicorps Security, has offered him a job. Soon after he signs up, the UN decides to outsource its peacekeeping missions, and Multicorps wins the first bid, propelling Douglas into a war that is not his own—a highly sophisticated war broadcast worldwide by the soldiers themselves thanks to the micro-cameras in their helmets.

What will this mean for the main character that gets a job with the firm?  The Good The idea that private could be involved in conflicts in other countries is a scary thought. In this future world, it's taken to another level. Each soldier is equipped with a built in camera on their helmut. Viewers back home can watch the events as they occur.
