"Welcome to the smog and acid ridden streets of NC. Our pearl of the westcoast, made from chrome and concrete, dangerously shining in the dawn of year 2025. Bitches, what have we seen in the first years of the new century. NY got blown away, genetic wonders, and the rise of augmentations and artificial intelligence. But from the shiny skyscraper offices down to the cybercafe: everyone desires entertainment.

It's time for a new lecture. Ever thought about how news are made? Don't guess. Try it yourself and become part of the machinery for big news. The bombastic stuff. News that are likely to disrupt everyones everyday life. Worth flooding the holoscreens and AR devices all over the city at the same time. This is not about being the first somewhere to bring nasty and bloody pics... it is about creating the story. Summon the demon of popularity to haunt a person of interests and be stunned by the disaster you've created. Oh, perhaps you shouldn't be aware of it. Wouldn't be the same fun, y'know?

But where do we find our story? I'm afraid to tell you: sometimes you have to dig deep. But where? Where do you find the deepest despair, the deepest load of egesta and the deepest lust for violence? In the combat zone."
