Drones.In the not-so-distant future, the constant bombardment of technological stimuli, known as the Noise, have made human minds so overloaded and numb, that previously hidden occult forces can now operate in the open.Demons, spirits, monsters, and gods — the same mythic powers that have guided and haunted humanity since time immemorial — no longer need to hide their part in the geopolitical powerplay.
