Left with only a business card in the computer memory holding the possibility of owning a million euros he began a search of the net Damn this guy is GOOD! he thought finding no trace of where the man had been before they had met He had only had one account he couldn t trace before someone that called themselves Dr Tronix His rival in everything but he didn t even know what hemisphere he was from They were two of the best Neither knew each other personally but the thought of another decker they couldn t trace was enough to make either of their blood boil Proceeding from login Please identify yourself requested the computer He jacked into his deck to try and find the access password He tried all the methods he could think of to get into this part of the net He had been browsing carelessly and somehow stumbled on something he hadn t seen before Of course being a good respectable hacker he had to try to get in He tried brute processor force letting his chips come up with random number and letter sequences Failing that he tried to think of what someone running this kind of system would use It was obviously new but whoever ran it probably knew something about computers or he d have been in a long time ago What would an op new to running a system use He glanced over at the system name to see if it had any inspiration for him The sign said Dragons lood Engineering He tried many different passwords Fire Scorch Camelot and everything else he could think of related to dragons Finally something worked Pendragon He was in The gate the net s symbol for a logon request opened Looking cautiously for dangers he stepped in What was this world he had come across He felt something sharp come across his back and he felt the hair on his neck stand in the air Instince told him it was time to leave He knew something bad something electronic was around and it could fry his brain unless he pulled the plug at the slight risk of brain damage from jacking out too quick SHIT! The sharp aching pain he d come to know all to well came across his brain as he pulled the plug It could take hours until he was completely revived but then he d stock up on the latest counter-ICE programs and go back He had found something new and it was NOT getting away
