The Consequences of Our Actions part 5

Wu closed her eyes for a moment, plunging into darkness as the glow from the data screen in the room was cut off. When she opened them again, she was in the sparkling, glittering super highway as her mind perceived it. She checked over her security and ICE programs, represented on her digital form by armor and weapons, and smiled to herself. CONCORD was hardly a hard database to crack, because of their silly bureaucracy. Slow to react and slower to change. She began to skim along the data streams, ignoring the pornographic sites, the advertisements, the various forums. She approaches the shining fortress that was the CONCORD database and grinned to herself, activating her disguise program. Her avatar transformed into a man wearing the uniform of a low level CONCORD operative. Moving to the “Gates”, she waited calmly for her identity to be confirmed, and then headed inside. CONCORD was such a vast organization, creating a fake identity hadn’t been very hard, and she enjoyed sneaking in just to sneak in. But she was on business. She headed for the capsuleer registry area, moving into the low security area first.

She bought up representations of the two capsuleers, searching for the woman first. Kathryn Dougans, Amarrian….She quickly downloaded the data and searched out the male. His file was locked up much tighter then the woman's, with only the most basic data available. She raised an artificial eyebrow slightly. “Edthin Doe”. She looked around carefully and moved deeper into the CONCORD database, attempting to pry away the levels of security. As long as she avoided to many red flags, she would be alright. She calmly began to peal away the layers, activating one of her ICE programs grimly as she triggered a small defense. She began to work quicker. She paused as she finally breached the last layer, and began to absorb the data. Her eyes widened in surprise and she gave a low whistle as she downloaded the data as well. She looked around and began the log-out procedure, making sure to maintain her disguise.

Back in the real world, Jason sat on the bed, stripped down to his bare chest as he fiddled idly with his pistol. He cast a glance over at Wu on occasion. She was good, but maybe this had been to much…

The screen of the data terminal flickered, and Wu began to move. He stood quickly and moved over, helping to take her jacks out and placing the goggles off to the side. The Jin-Mei woman smiled up at him, unhooking his datapad and holding it out “Here you go, all the information you wanted.” Jason took it gratefully as she stood, giving a stretch. She gave him a wicked grin “Now, I believe we have payment to discuss…”

Jason looked around and spotted a clock. He ticked off the time till he had to be on board his ship and nodded “Right…I think we’ve got enough time for a round or two” He grinned back at the woman as he set the datapad onto the terminal and put his arms around her.
