Machines of War
 |
War is here. Though the Corporations no longer seek openly to annihilate each other in world-scarring battle¸ skirmishes flare along countless fronts not drawn on any map. From grimy alleys to trading floors to sumptuous hotels¸ Agents fight and die in secret for the Corporations that own them. Shares are bought and sold¸ markets soar and fail¸ all at a cost counted in blood.
"War is here. The Agents gather their tools. Long knives glitter in the shadows of the Spires¸ the Old Cities echo to the crack and roar of rifle fire¸ nightmarish mechanical guardians lurk below the sands of blasted deserts. Unthinkable technologies are forged each day¸ in blasphemous laboratories buried far from the light. Men are mutilated and modified until they resemble machines; machines are twisted to think like men.
"War is here. Your enemies draw closer by the day¸ under cover of a fickle and fraudulent peace¸ and you are not ready. They are faster¸ stealthier¸ stronger. They can see further and shoot more accurately. Their weapons are terrifying¸ their technology overwhelming. You must arm yourself for the inevitable conflict or be crushed beneath the boots of your rivals.
"War is here¸ Agent¸ and you must make ready to fight. Unleash the Machines of War.
