The world has changed. In the year 2027, rapid technological progress and increasing social stratification have left an ever increasing number with more loyalty to their paycheck than their nation. The megacorporations are more than happy to take advantage of this, and every year, just a little bit more is signed away, whether it's for profit, pleasure, or simple convenience.
However, some bold few fight an impossible fight for freedom from corporate oppression. Canny hackers insist information wants to be free, street samurai keep the triads and the mobs from entering their neighborhoods, and idealists argue for the little man in halls of politics and commerce. No matter what, they are bound by only one thing: they would give up their lives to help fight for freedom, and in many cases, they do.
You aren't one of them. Your name is

and you're just getting ready to attend the interview for your new job. You aren't worried, though: if anything, you're overqualified for your job. After all, how many applicants can claim to have

[ ] a truly magnetic personality?
[ ] a wealth of experience running the shadows?
[ ] already read everything your interviewer had on her computer?
[ ] extensive cybernetic augmentation, both physical and mental?

Well, no matter what advantages you have, it doesn't hurt to be prepared. Your interview isn't for 20 minutes, so you take the time to duck into the

room and straighten up. You tidy up in the mirror, and you're soon looking as professional as you're going to get.

As you return to the waiting room, you pull up the details of the corporation soon to be providing you with gainful employment. It primarily works in
[ ] Cybernetics
[ ] Weapons Manufacturing
[ ] Consumer Goods

[ ] Medicine
[ ] Finance
[ ] Transportation
[ ] Write-in
As you finish your review, you're finally called into the office of
[ ] the manager of the local branch of a truly huge corporation. The AAA corps have a strict hierarchy, but almost unlimited resources.
[ ] the director of human resources in a minor but established corporation. You're still a subordinate, but you have some resources and greater opportunities to climb the corporate ladder.
[ ] the bank's manager, to get a loan and set up your own corp. You'll have complete freedom and be able to run things your way, but few connections and less money, at least until you get set up.

You're lucky, and the interview goes over extremely well. A few short minutes later, and you're getting a ticket on the next flight to

[ ] Singapore, corporate-friendly city-state and center of a shadow war between Indian and Chinese corporations.

As you board your flight, any number of thoughts flit through your head, but one stands out above all the rest: I'm going to be rich!

The idea is to be as corrupt as possible in the area which support that. Infrastructure construction is the least transparent area of economy and is heavily defined by governmental decisions. And an AAA corporation may have quite an infulence on such desicions.
