Echoside : The Shorts

[Kain Nobel]

The short answer: It's science fiction of a cyber-punk nature, somewhat inspired by authors such as Tom Clancy (RIP) and others.

The long answer

While it would most likely be considered a "cyber punk" fantasy, it's a post modern science fiction tale which loosely correlates with reality. Elements of the world indicate geopolitical conflicts, headbutting between religious sects, great empires and tyrannical governments, things of that nature. Third person narrative takes place between various key military groups, such as the special forces unit Mack and Lindsey are in charge of, as well as the Berzerker unit which Martinez and company belong to, giving the audience a broader view of international affairs.

The biggest challenge of the story is moral disambiguation but, once more intelligence is collected, the audience might shift their judgements, sometimes realizing the justification (or lack thereof) of past interactions. Of course we should stay true to our modus operandi, but do we continue to follow our leaders' orders, or do we strike out on our own to repent for seemingly unjustified campaigns? Some issues are simply beyond our control or understanding, but we'll be damned if we don't at least attempt to to reach for the greater good.

The dialog itself purposely doesn't take itself too seriously, humor is presented to lighten the load of how bad things really are. Once the audience is able to interact with the world, they'll realize they're about to take a horrific trip down the rabbit hole.
