20: It's All in the Game

When Ethan did his impression a couple of the other players looked at him when he did the braying laugh.
"What the fuck was that?" Gaius asked. "You having some kind of seizure Ethan?"
When Ethan told them who it was they looked to the resident Brit of the group.
Thomas shrugged. "Never heard of him. What's he do? Johnny, Sophie head right."
The game was getting underway and the Xterminators had an ambush planned on the Golden Bough faction as they planned to hit a corporate headquarters. With any luck corporate armed forces would obliterate their opponents.
Despite what Ethan thought no one was watching Ryusaku play, this was an MMO game (massively multiplayer online) they certainly weren't captivated by anything other than the massive firefight on the huge screen before them.
Things had gone pear shaped. Corporate security had completely failed to distinguish between Golden Bough and the Xterminators. Whilst the GB team had been almost obliterated the Xterminators were fighting a rearguard action.
