Operation: Atlas Shrugged

Description: Storyline and graphics have been adopted from the novel and film Atlas Shrugged written by Ayn Rand.

In the year 2013, the crisis in the Middle East went nuclear. Gas prices have shot up to $40.36 per gallon nationwide and with increasingly high governmental taxation and regulations, the American people have chosen open revolt. Without warning, entrepreneurs, company owners, and big business men as well as regular citizens like farmers, doctors, lawyers, and soldiers are disappearing and the government wants them back.

The only clue as to their whereabout is the name “John Galt,” the leader of the free resistance that has taken up arms against anarchy. Henry Rearden, the owner of Rearden Steel, is on the verge of a breakthrough to invent a new metal alloy that will be far stronger than steel and will have a great impact on the railroad industry if it is successful.

One of the needed supplies for this alloy can only be found in the fields of southwest Georgia, where Rearden has set up a mining operation to recover the material. Government agencies think he may have been contacted by John Galt and must not be allowed to slip away with the information about this new alloy. A detachment of soldiers has been sent to recover him at all costs as well as to get the information about this new alloy and as much of it as they can. Due to the massive debt crisis, the Government was not able to send as many men as they wanted, but these are the best of the best. These soldiers are dedicated to serving the Government and it is known that they will return victorious or in body bags.

There has been a lot of movement in the resistance and it seems that they have gotten wind of the plan. A ragtag team of former special operators, military men, fire arms instructors, gun enthusiasts, and normal citizens have banded together under John Galt to get to Rearden in time. The skirmish may seem small, but it could have repercussions that will rock the world as we know it!
