Unionized Phishing 4 Chips

[Circe]

A dark room was barely lit by the light of a computer screen. A figure sitting in front of it, tapping away very rapidly at the keyboard. The light plays off her silken pajamas. Full coverage and showing various colors when in the light or dark. Hedgespun practice, even it it didn't last, let her learn and practice her cheat.


The cheat, Brownie's Boon, letting this hacker more easily get access to the targeted system. Her own custom codes still doing the work of protecting her from retaliation. And this was a far better tactic then breaking in to a government building to directly hack their systems.


Albeit it was the Fish and Game of California or whatever, but still a government agency. Feds tend to take offense at that when you BNE such places. Or stateies not feds? Circe drinks her hot coffee, taken from a side table to not have spill problems. There was enough clutter next to the computer with the blown up picture of the microchip, numbers visible. Circe pauses in the typing briefly as she muses over this. Then discards it, as the label don't matter to what her victims call themselves.


Suckers would do once she got that GPS data.

Hopefully it had a back tracking feature. It would be a pain in the ass if it turned out to only have live location instead. That'd be a waste.

Saber Sloth 5 suxx over two hours of hacking, based on the Orchard Operation hacking Glimpse. Sorry for not posting this much earlier. I got sick and lost track of the glimpse. Let me know if Circe has to do counter hacking.

Takes a bit, not as long as someone else, the brownie's boon speeds everything along nicely. Circe finds the data, and realizes that whatever it was that did that to the wolves, didn't turn off the GPS so the Fairest had a nice timeline to work with.

The wolves had been in a national park, only be picked up and brought to the Sacramento zoo - a quick google shows that the zoo didn't want a permanent wolf exabit but wanted to bring in live wolves for educational purposes - but the zoo is where whatever this is...was found the wolves. Took them. Maybe killed them. After the zoo tracking has them meandering through Sacramento, on the streets, obeying traffic laws. There's a stop at a hardware store, and back to the storage unit.

Tracking doesn't have them moving for some time.

Then there's a pattern, out into the city, and back to the storage unit. Out back, Out, back. Then there's an Out trip that lasts longer then normal, before heading not back - roving. Hunting. Heading into Citrus Park and staying for an uncomfortably long time before finally, finally moving on. Not to the storage unit, but to another address downtown. A hotel. Tracking has them there for another chunk of time, before finally, moving back to the storage unit.

Things turn familiar for Circe after that, the chip has the heads moving back to Citrus Park then to Funderland, and towards the warehouse. Circe knows what happened to the chip, and to body after that.
