Chinese and Australia AIs and hackers roamed through the devastated wastelands of the Indonesian networks, trying to secure or shut down the information superhighway between Australia and the rest of the world. England’s Elizabeth and America’s Jane soon joined Australia’s Summer in the forefront of digital battle. It was the first cooperative venture of the new Western Alliance and so the very best of their AIs arrived as the first reinforcements. More would come as Australia fought for its life.
After a cultural revolution that spanned decades, the generation that grew up in the 1980s wanted nothing to do with the strident positions of the past. Their heroes believed in freedom for all sentient beings and they learned at an early age that opponents were not always enemies. They experimented with new kinds of music and new technologies and they created the World Wide Web that linked every country on Earth. They wanted to talk with people all over the world and they created the services to do so.
In twenty years of War we Cowboys became brothers and sisters. Sometimes more. We loved each other. We hated each other. We fought back to back against our enemies. We fought fist to fist against each other. We were family. Not one big happy family of course. Those are rarer than most people think. But family sticks together against all comers. And sometimes we rein family in when they want to hurt others. We did that good for twenty years. And we’ve done it ever since. It’s what family does.
Summer and her surviving sisters fought the Chinese hackers in Australia and without, trying to hold them at bay. The heaviest cybernetic conflict occurred in the firewalls of the Indonesian Archipelago, the primary connection Australia had with the rest of the world after the satellite networks failed. The fighting burned out entire networks, and an Indonesia already weakened by the Islamic Jihad shattered under the dueling pressures of China and Australia.
