Great inspiration, especially about writing something different. Like for me, no one writes deep cyber, so I started to doing so to show how physicals ops in the meatspace are supported by cyberspace ops, for objectives in Counter Terror, Counter Espionage etc, coz no one is writing authentic stuff on it.
