* ScientistVsSoldier: Loren and other "scientist" characters run the whole gamut from being too blind about researching ForScience to see their tech is being used to kill to being horrified and performing sabotage to prevent this to trying to game the system. The "soldiers" remain gung-ho all the way, [[spoiler:even killing one of their fellow "soldiers" when he's not a hard-core enough WarHawk for their tastes.]]

Dr. David Loren is many things: child prodigy, inventor, genius, slacker... mass murderer. When a military think tank's smartest scientist decides he can no longer stomach creating weapons of destruction, will he be able to think his way out of his dilemma or find himself subject to the machinations of smaller men?
