- ATARI -
It takes a special set of skills to conceal oneself, and Atari was no stranger to that thesis. She prided herself on stealth and now was no exception.
She'd gotten the irresistable urge to infiltrate a system-- run a worm program and extract basic info about a few shipments. Just out of curiosity. She never liked Manticore anyway.
Perched atop a building like a lurking raven, she held a laptop open on her bent knees. Eyes on the ground below, she'd type a line of code, then sweep the area. Code, then scan. Code, and scan again.
Couldn't have anyone ruining her fun.
She furrowed her brow. Now came the final subroutine.
Once it was finished, the program would self-destruct, leaving only the tragedy of missing data behind.
Her neon eyes scanned the code, finally satisfied with the result. She hit the "run" command, and awaited the information.
The wind pulled a lock of blue hair out from under her hood, and she tucked it away instinctively.
Nobody to stop me? Boring.
A noise from behind her made a bullet of adrenaline pierce her heart, and she whirled around to look with wide eyes, breath catching in her throat.
