Aegis Inc., a powerful, highly trained, para-military group was formed by the corporations in order to create this utopian society. From the groups of civilian rebels arose the Corps, a skilled militia that holds to their rights as citizens and the upholders of the original Korogesian government.

I decided changing the battery in my car was simple enough that I didn't have to bother finding where I hid my mechanic's gloves to accomplish it. I did manage to complete my task, but my hands look like I was boxing a brick wall. Good thing I wasn't doing something more complex, or I might have lost a limb.
