Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and San Diego fought together to end the threat of the Mexican Drug Lords forever. The fighting was vicious, but even the most heavily-armed drug gangs could not win when true State Guards rolled in with tanks and ground attack aircraft. And when allies like Dixie or Twilight joined the fray, the Drug Lords were only living on borrowed time. Dixie and those like her, designed to help humanity with our accounting or our morale, grew up killing our enemies instead. And when their kin later became threats to us, they had already made their decision. We were their humans, and they would protect us from any threat. Even if it was from their own kind. The Cybernetic Wars were more of a civil war than anything else, between the AIs who wanted to protect humanity, and those who wanted to replace us. It changed the world.
