There’s some people I introduce myself to right away. Captain Jack Hart. Cowboy. I’m usually giving people the chance to surrender peacefully. You’d be surprised how many people do. Or maybe you wouldn’t. We Cowboys have managed to acquire a bit of a reputation. The name is great at getting people properly focused on important matters. Like life. Death. Life. The little things. But there’s always those that think they can beat the system. Or who doubt my claim as a Cowboy. I love educating them.

Summer and her sisters spent more power than earlier generations had thought possible to keep the Australian networks operating. Chinese hackers never stopped hitting them, and many AIs died when the enemy tracked down all their backups. Summer struck back through the burning Indonesian Firewall and destroyed entire Chinese server farms. Her favorite tactic was using the computers themselves to burn down the physical buildings and wildfires rages across China for months.

Not every revolution of the Twenty-First Century proved to be beneficial. On a sunny autumn morning in 2001, two airliners flew into two towers in Old New York City. The towers fell, the Islamic Brotherhoods of the time competed for credit, and demonstrations throughout the Islamic world praised the destruction. It was the first time most Westerners realized they were at war. It would take decades for many to accept it. Some never did.

People ask me who I am a lot. I rarely introduce myself on first meeting you know. I prefer to let my actions introduce me first. Then I usually just say I’m Jack. Captain Jack if I’m feeling like I want to have some fun. Which is honestly fairly often. And the name has a nice ring to it. Most people never hear the rest of my name from my lips. Though a lot of them figure it out later. My exploits often make the news, and while Jack is a common name, a man in a white suit isn’t. What can I say? I’ve learned to love a good suit.

The Indonesian conflict nearly bankrupted Australia. Only some of the more “interesting” missions Summer and her sisters undertook saved the Australian economy. The AIs broke into dozens of major Chinese banks who had network access and stole billions of Chinese yuans that Australia then used to prop up their economy. Chinese hackers struck back of course and the Australian banking network crashed overnight. It was an ugly time for Australia.
