He can't sleep.

Truth be told, he'd rather not. The healthy glow of a computer and soothing sounds of tapping on the keyboard provide a welcome respite from the nightmares. It'll still be some time before he's back to full mental strength, but until then there's one more thing to help in the healing process.

Because remember the other pendrive, the one with all the data going into detail about how naughty the rich boys and girls of this world have been? The human traffickers, the gun runners, the vote-riggers, drug lords and shill politicians, their dirty laundry is there.

Turn left by the errant line of code on the main page of Twitch, and you'll get up close and personal with the six-figure bribe that was given by a certain lobby group to the lawmakers in your district.

And if you're really good? You'll put the pieces of this puzzle together. Knowledge is power, ladies and gents, but power has a price. Will there be anyone willing to pay?

I didn't roll Int+Computer because the plot is over, and - together with the spell - Shodan's pool is 14, amounting to over a 100 dice on an extended action. I can roll, though, if the STs want me to
