[ WP ] You are a guard for a self driving cargo truck that just got hacked .

I adjusted my position in the comfortable leather seat as the landscape outside whizzed by. I reflected on how lucky I was to score this gig. Getting hired after the war was difficult. Most guys from my platoon were scraping by on the streets these days. I'm getting paid to ride along in a Tesla AC Transport, AC meaning Autonomous Cruiser. All I have to do is make sure the shipment arrives in one piece. Compared to the jobs I had overseas this was something I could do in my sleep, quite literally I thought to myself, amused as I fell asleep.

 My head snapped forward as the tires screeched and the smell of burnt rubber greeted my nostrils. I looked at the large center console and instead of a detailed status report of the route, 0's and 1's covered the console.

 `` Shit.''

 My old military training kicked in, my instincts guided me as I checked my rifle and gear. It probably was just a mechanical error. It was most likely a bug that had fried the GPS. I tried fiddling with the controls, but I was no engineer. I grabbed my comm but noticed it was dead too. Now the hairs on the back of my neck stood at attention. This was definitely no fluke. I could hear the revving of an engine being pushed to its limits coming from behind me. I quickly tried to bail out the door, but the locks were still engaged. Only the computer could unlock them. The engine was closing in now.

 The impact of the collision was met with a deafening bang. My ears were ringing and the base of my skull erupted in pain from being flung into my seat. I cut off my seat belt with a knife, and shot off the hinge points to my door. I refuse to die in this cruiser. I'm going down with a fight. I kicked out the door and jumped to the ground. I aimed my rifle at the Semi-Truck that had hit my cargo. My finger flipped off the safety and caressed the trigger.
