Here's our first stab at the story. The beginning is slightly hard to follow because it cuts back and forth between two scenes: one is a slow zoom out of a wall of tv screens, displaying promotional material for the corporate company, whose logo is a square with a circle in it. The other shots are close up shots of the hero running and planting bombs onto the main servers underground at the main facility. The stories intersect when the hero runs in front of the tv's which is along a corridor. He kills a guard, pulling him behind the shadows, but not before the guard trips the alert button.

The drone designers grab their guns and prepare for his entry into the main room. However, the hero character distracts them by sending one of them a youtube link to the evil chipmunk video. They gather around and laugh (easily distracted, short attentionspans), and soon after the hero explodes into the church-like room, flying in mid air with guns firing. He kills the first wave of goons with a variety of weapons. The villain, who sits in a cube room high out of reach, copy-pastes more drones to attack. A series of close up maneuvers, too fast and close to understand what's happening in the space, implying a lot of ass kicking. We then zoom out to a pile of bodies so high that he begins to use it as a method to reach the main villain.

He climbs the pile of dead bodies and jumps into the main room. It is dark, and the villain appears to be sitting in his chair. But it turns out to be just his cube headrest. The real villain was hiding amongst his life sized posters of himself along the dark shadowy walls. A martial arts battle ensues, and in the process, the hero is fatally wounded, but not before he slings a portable flash drive (containing a lethal virus) into the villain's hard drive. The villain is still alive, but his reign of fascism is obliterated by the virus. The hero lies on the ground, about to die, but dials a keypad on his robotic arm (predator reference) and starts laughing. The entire place explodes, and everyone dies. The end.
