“You really don’t see anything wrong with this?”
“Why the hell should I?”
“Seriously? There are what, a couple hundred thousand people that work here? We are about to fuck up their lives.”
“You have no idea how this works, do you? We’re not hurting anyone, they’ll be jacked back in in, like, two days, like nothing ever happened. Someone else will pay just as much for their time. Shit, we might even hire them. With a raise!”
“Still feels wrong.”
“We’ll be running this place soon, anyway.”
…
“That took a while, Cybs. We good?”
“Miss Klostermann has agreed to guide us through security.”
“Right. Agreed.”
…<indiscernible>…
“I said she’s off her nut! <coughing> Off her nut. Sorry, I was not prepared for the fans to be that loud.”
“So that’s it, she just stands here? You can make her do that?”
“I’m not making her do anything. This is your show now, Timmy. And so you know, I don’t think she’s ‘off her nut’ for wanting children.”
“Cybs, I would have agreed with that twenty years ago, but I seem to remember you having a different opinion about children back then. Up here, Big John. Switches are on level two.”
…
“They’re all connected through here?”
“Yep. Every one of these cables is plugged into somebody’s head. Sucking out all that valuable brainjuice. The gov wanted single digit unemployment, this is what we got. Now they get paid for the one commodity that everyone thinks they can spare: clock cycles.”
“This the conduit?”
“I’m checking the layout one more time. If we accidentally fry the storage levels, too, man, trust me, you don’t even want to know what that lady downstairs looks like when she’s angry.”
“I got that impression.”
“This is it. Unpack.”
…
“We’re losing Miss Klostermann. She has more hardware than you said. Hurry it up or this is getting sticky.”
“Got it. You heard her, big guy. We gotta go, or you might have a real reason to get morally indignant.”
“But the drone’s still in the conduit.”
“We’ll have to call it an operational expense. If I’m not here it’ll turn around and go where nobody’s going to find it, trust me.”
“OK. Conduit’s sealed. How long before they start dropping?”
“The network switches should start failing in the next few hours. It should be intermittent enough that the reporting system won’t trigger hardware flags until sometime tomorrow, though. The packet loss is going to give them some righteous headaches, but they’ll be fine.”
…<indiscernible>…
“Thank you, Miss Klostermann, for all of your help. I really do look forward to working with you in the future.”
“My pleasure.”
“Three days, John. We’ll see about getting you plugged in and off the streets, big guy. Thank you for helping us tonight.”
“OK. Who are you?”
“Three days, John.”
“Oh, OK.”
