In which Alec's muse writes a book. not_plan_m September 29 2011, 18:09:36 UTC
[Hardison was growing a sliver of paranoia about the island. He had been hacked, information he, Parker and Eliot had collected had been stolen. Now he was never sure who might be standing over his shoulder, ready to wipe his hard drive clean or snatch the information they had gathered. Most of his was from the other people in the game. Assuming they were all real, and not some highly advanced NPCs. He still remembered the first message. The game. It didn't feel like a game. It felt deadly and dangerous. It would be nice to pretend it was all just virtual reality.

Focus. Focus on the mission, that was what he needed. Nate and the rest of the group had told him the same thing a few times. No respect for the massive amount of work he did behind the scenes. If he decided to take a break to raid through WOW now and then, where was the harm? He always (usually) came through in the end. Still, this was different than stealing a museum, or faking the moon landing. This was lives on the line from monsters. He would have been lying if he ( ... )

[A chat window pops up on a corner of his screen.]

[Red lights flashed right away for Hardison. Danger. Danger, Will Robinson! Admitting his line of work was just not the wisest choice, in any circumstances and he glanced over at the uniform folded up nearby quickly. If he was going to use an alias, it had to be a good one, but out here he only had the supplies for one of them.But he also ran the risk of alienating useful resources if he went about claiming he was a cop to everyone.]

I'm part of a specialized team that helps people who've found themselves in trouble. You know. When I'm not kicking Alliance ass.

[Abby likes that answer.]

Cool, like that TV show with the military guys or the other one with the guy who lived on a houseboat. If you guys ever need any additional help once we get out of here let me know.

[She had to believe they were going to get out, it was just a question of when. If you lose hope, things get really bad. Of course, Abby was in law enforcement, but she did spend an awful lot of time getting into things that she didn't need to for good reasons.

Sounds like a plan. When we get on the other side we can have the most happenin' motherboard meld swap the universe has ever seen. Until then, g33k power. Holla.

This place doesn't know who it's messing with.
