[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5954176, member: 2710"] [b]Terry Quinlan, The Grid[/b] [sblock=Computer]Terry found himself conflicted. Genie seemed to be clearly worked up about the associations of someone she'd never met, and despite his mission, the young hacker found himself sympathizing. What was wrong with him? He didn't used to be like this. What the heck had happened to the casual amorality that served him so well as a hacker in the past? All this saving the world stuff must have been affecting him more than he wanted to admit. "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer," he tried, hoping it might assure Genie without forcing him to commit to too much. [i]I'm gonna feel really dumb if this is a trap...[/i] he thought.[/sblock] On the trip to Vegas, Grid busied himself getting a feel for which surveillance satellites might be in a convenient orbit. He decided it was better to try to get in after they landed, since he didn't want anyone waiting at the airport if he mucked this up. It'd been a while since he'd tried a high level hack like this.
