When Leonard Merlode said ‘no’ to the military, he knew there would be consequences.
The technology he had developed, a suit that would allow the wearer to really ‘feel’ what was going on in a virtual environment, was a precious commodity. A commodity that could easily be misused if it fell into the wrong hands.
He could never have imagined, however, just how severely he would be punished for his decision, why the military would hire the man known to his friends as Dex and to his enemies as ‘Flames’ and how the simple word ‘no’, was about to make his entire world, go up in smoke.
