[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6668518, member: 4936"] Death Otter spends her 'downtime' getting busy. First, she has some gear but it's all factory-preset. Not good enough. Digging into her little black book of tweaks and adjustments, Otter spends hours getting the new computers optimized and purring, even if it takes a few CMOS wipes to do it. Then there's the software. Hours of downloads from torrent sites and other, shadier areas of the Net. It doesn't even occur to her to ask Marks if legit licenses can be gotten for this stuff. She's much happier with it being under the table. Then there's the matter of Net connection. The building is newly wired for high-speed, but Otter starts making arrangements on the side for an alternative connection as well...satellite wireless isn't NEARLY as fast, but it's very secure. There will be times she wants to do things without wondering if Marks and the FCC are monitoring her broadband. Proxy IP addresses and encryption only go so far when someone else is paying the ISP. Somewhere along the line, somehow, she hears the words 'firing range' though and appears to perform a site-to-site teleportation to the area Marks said the words. Smudged with dust from wriggling around under the desk with the wiring, in the grungy overalls that she does that sort of work in, and holding out her hand eagerly. "Gun please." The way she says it, one can almost hear the vowels being omitted. [/QUOTE]
