[Tommy's sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by a tangle of wires and lit only by computer monitors scattered here and there. Computer equipment looms in the dim light, and now and then he turns to check something on one machine or another. Actually, he seems to know what he's doing. Mostly.]

So--

[he begins, turning to face the camera, moving to push his goggles up off his eyes, when suddenly something behind him explodes in a shower of sparks.]

Nonononono, not again!

[Whatever he was going to say is anyone's guess, as he fumbles to turn off the video feed and stop whatever is melting down from melting down.]



[ooc; duude, idek the first thing about the genre, really. ._. but hacker Tommy is here to... accidentally blow his shit up, more than anything else |D please imagine this was earlier (wednesdays suuuck) and it is massively backdating friendly!

also, he believes all this is untraceable and on secure channels, but it's just. not. <3]

[What would he do without you, Billy? ...Probably be stuck playing solitaire on his phone, yeah.]

Who cares, the spider blows up while we walk into the sunset. I mean it, I was close. Like, one lucky password guess close.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

I care. I'm convinced it eats our toothpaste.

[And he starts on the rest of the CPU]

Don't tell me you guessed someone's birthday or pet name.

Action;

[team_sociopath]

I was gonna try '1234.'

[He snorts, moves on to checking the surge protectors.]

I didn't have time to guess, I was gonna set up a standard dictionary attack before it blew.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

Well at least we're on the same page.

Did you set up a bypass? Because if it blew you might have just overloaded the circuits.

Action;

[team_sociopath]

Maybe. I was in a hurry, who knows what happened.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

Man. You know you shouldn't hurry.

[team_sociopath]

[He pauses and looks up. If nothing else he's fixing the system up pretty quickly, explosions or no.]

You get that close and try to stay calm, bro.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

If you had we might have been sitting on the ticket out of here.

Action;

[team_sociopath]

Yeah, yeah. I can do it again, we'll just rig a better cooling system.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

You mean I'll rig a better cooling system. No worries, man.

Action;

[team_sociopath]

Keep working your magic, bro, we're back in business in no time.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

[Rigging is happening]

You ever think we're going about this the wrong way?

Action;

[team_sociopath]

Whatcha mean?

Action;

[inmyothertights]

Well, like.

Are we using our admittedly spectacular abilities for good or evil, here?

Action;

[team_sociopath]

How can you even ask that question. We are totally on the side of righteousness and stuff.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

Because maybe this is a little selfish.

Action;

[team_sociopath]

Everyone wants out of this place, we're gonna find a way. I don't see the problem.

Action;

[inmyothertights]

Maybe we can put the results up on the Network. After all, if we're gone, at least other people can figure out a way out.

Action;

[team_sociopath]

It'd piss the Deities off, I bet.

[The smugness of his tone makes it unnecessary to add that he thinks it's a good idea.]

Action;

[inmyothertights]

Alright then. Deal.
