No, Not Really continues.

This runner needs to reply.  Can’t stay out here in the open, I don’t think.  Though, nobody seems to notice that I’m here.  Once I got rid of the easily-removable gear, and tripped the power on the rest of the stuff I normally carry, it’s as if I wasn’t there any more.  People are so used to the perimeter and social ( Read more... )

Like Joe vs. the Volcano, I just pretend every message from him might be the last, and hope the Docs are wrong, or at least mislead. There’s a lot of ( Read more... )

Didn’t have time to pull the ripcord on the datamine I had been building for the team, Which will probably be a bit of a puzzler for some security folks at some point - leave them wondering why the safe they just spent a week trying to crack was empty (but angrily, huffily, locked.)

Lots and lots of things are different since the last time I updated, back in November. I’ve left my old job at The Startup and started at a new one.
