I know, all right. Everything’s wrapped up in this little morality-play package for the news media, should it ever become necessary to discuss it at all. Like, if I decide to shoot my mouth off. It’s got the formula-story structure of your typical corp-sponsored trid drama. Several corporators stray from the true path and get into shady dealings with "unsavory elements" of society—in this case, an "evil corp" from the Tir and the Cutters gang—which lead them ever further from the path of righteousness. The corporation starts to investigate infractions in procedure, and the wise chief executive—let’s cast Nicky Sato as Loudon, why the frag not?—senses that some trusted members of the flock have gone bad. The investigation puts pressure on the malefactors—who are, as everyone knows, basically unstable, irrational, and dangerous, as befits their attempts to jack with the status quo. Pressure leads to mistakes and to back-biting and infighting. One faction within the bad guys attacks another, killing one of the central figures. The others panic, pile into their waiting getaway car and head for the hills. In their flight from the forces of light and righteousness, they lose control of the car, wrap it around a lamppost at two hundred klicks, and that’s it—fade to null and roll credits. Like I said, perfect plot structure. I wouldn’t be surprised to see NBS running something like it during the next sweeps week.
