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.
Wolfenheim was a new dream. It was a dream I helped bring to reality. In the midst of War it said we would never give up. We would never fall back. We were here to stay and we were coming. Wolfenheim was our statement to the stars that we belonged. We dreamed of building a new colony, in the middle of War, further away than any previous colony. We dreamed a building a powerful base deep in alien space. It almost went off without a hitch. Then the family who funded it found out they were funding it and demanded their money back. That was when things got interesting.
The end of the Twentieth Century and the beginning of the Twenty-First Century was a time of change. New technologies and new services created innovative ways for people all over the planet to talk to each other. Computers morphed from boxy, desktop affairs to tiny devices that could fit in pockets. Limited network access that was once reliant on logging in via unmovable phone lines morphed into a culture of being constantly “online” via the wireless networks anywhere people went. It was a revolution in communications capability.
