Jenkins Microsoft is your average modern-day American. He is 'owned' by Microsoft and is $25,000 in the hole. But things have been looking up for Jenkins. He was recently promoted to the Liason to the TA ((Can't remember what it stands for, sorry><)) and that job is already looking up.

"Jenkins! Jenkins! Did you hear?" Natalie Microsoft shouted with her usual excitement.
"Hear what?"
"Oh, man this is going to be BIG!"
"What?"
"A bunch of kids just got killed in Nike town!"
"Nike Town?"
"Some rathole in Australia run by Nike. A bunch of kids bought these new Nike Mercury shoes and they got gunned down."
"Wow...That's...Disturbing..."
"But that GREAT for the TA! The US Alliance is going to be in some really deep shit, I can smell it!"
"That's...That's terrific. You do realize I don't have any patriotism to my company, the TA, or this new idiotic form of Government, right?"
"Well, just remember that it's good for you. If IBM gets involved with it, you can climb pretty high in the Microsoft chairs for this."
"Yeah, yeah. I don't care, honestly. I do care about those poor kids. Tehy were killed because of buying shoes!"
"Oh, Jenkins! Here, let me explain it from your point of view: Use this oppertunity to avenge those people."
"Hmm. I think you're right."
"Aren't I always?"
"You weren't when we broke up."

Natalie blushed.

"I know...But...You know, I kinda needed a break, you know?"
"I understand, you know that. If you ever want to hook up again, I still have absolutely nothing to do."
"How about tonight at seven?"
"Sorry, I've got a big meeting tonight. Microsoft is finally going to buy UbiSoft and I've got to be there at the meeting before it actually happens, you know?"
"Thursday?"
"That's when the buy is happening."
"I thought you said you didn't care about Microsoft?"
Jenkins laughed.
"I don't give a rat's ass about Microsoft. I do care about my job, so I've got to wear this mask!"
"Friday?"
"Friday it is!"
