| Defcon One After years of threats and fighting, nuclear war erupts in the middle east. America, the UK and China are slowly sucked in to an escalating battle which threatens to end the world. On all sides, Government agencies begin snapping up major hackers to work for them. Jobs include intelligence gathering, sabotage, spying, destruction of infrastructure (banks, currencies etc). Suddenly the Net is transformed as peace time comes to an end - the world takes on a more sinister edge as real lives are at stake. HAcking missions involved teams of Uplink Agents online working together with teams of real agents (played by NPCs) who are actually at the target site. The key military and government systems become prime targets - the FBI database, the World Bank, Satellite Surveillance systems, telecoms, Nasa, the Currency Market etc. The world stands on the brink of full scale Nuclear War, and nobody knows how to get out of it. |
