In this game, you play as a system administrator.

Your objective is to keep your datacenter alive at all cost. Keeping humans alive is optional.

This can be as simple as a temporary power outage. But later on in the game, you will be promoted or hired to various positions, where you will encounter progressively harder situations.

E.g.

A fire spreading through servers.

Corporate Spies trying to tap into corporate computers.

Multiple natural disasters knocking out multiple server facilities around the world.

A combination of a STUXNET style virus trying to shut down computers in a top secret Iranian facility, while being assaulted by teams of special operatives.

Keeping Google, Wikipedia, and the as much of the major backbones of the internet on-line for survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse. (Even if its via slow communication channels over Packet Radio via Amateur operators, or by pigeons via IPoAC )

       Against what - snails ? What are you going to do, club them with it ? Puh-lease ..   

       Either an SP-10, or a MAC-10 in .45ACP - as a backup to a G3A4 in 7.62x51mm*.
