GG_Override: Corpo IT guy? really? Was Boring_Username already taken?

Corpo_IT_guy69: some of us didn't go to black hat hacker school. I assume you'll give me shit for the 69 next?

GG_Override: Nah, 69 is a great number. At least you don't take yourself too seriously. So... you got my message?

Corpo_IT_guy69: I did... you programmed that glitch specifically so that I'd find your message once i went into to fix it didn't you?

GG_Override: Guilty as charged ;)

Corpo_IT_guy69: well you're definitely not an amateur. how do i know that i can trust you?

GG_Override: I guess technically you can't know for sure. But seeing as how I already know you're the IT guy, looks like you're already at my mercy...

Corpo_IT_guy69: goddammit

GG_Override: Relax, I'm not interested in harming average citizens, that's been your employer's MO for the past few decades. I think it's about time that changes...

Corpo_IT_guy69: look, i know they're evil. that's WHY i'm scared to talk. and evil or not, i still need this job...at least for now. not sure you see what the city is like out there, but it's not exactly easy to surive.

GG_Override: Trust me, I know better than most. Bolt Corp is the reason this city is a cesspool...and it's only going to get worse. You're here, which tells me you give a damn. Am I wrong?

Corpo_IT_guy69: ...no. not wrong.

GG_Override: Do you know just how bad they are?

Corpo_IT_guy69: i know enough to know i don't know shit. and that it's way worse than the typical evil i imagined before i took the job...

GG_Override: I'm listening...

Corpo_IT_guy69: if anyone were to find out about this my life could be in danger...

GG_Override: Why would I do something stupid like let anyone find out about this? I need your help, and you need mine, even if you don't realize it yet.

Corpo_IT_guy69: i have your word?

GG_Override: Hacker's honor.

Corpo_IT_guy69: ok.

Corpo_IT_guy69: i don't know what it all means. the first thing i saw was a file...i saw it when i needed to fix a corrupted firmware patch on a door access system and saw a list of higher clearance levels. one of them really stuck in my mind... it was called something like 'Containment: Hybrid Specimens'

GG_Override: Hybrid Specimens? As in...creatures? Fucking Bolt Corp.

Corpo_IT_guy69: i thought it was weird but i dismissed it...like maybe it was just some weird code name for building materials or some tech shit...you know, the things Bolt Corp is publicly involved with. but then a few days ago i saw something...

GG_Override: Don't leave me in suspense kid

Corpo_IT_guy69: i got called to fix some server panels on a restricted access floor. i didn't even know this floor existed. a guard took me up the elevator with a keycard that opened a panel of elevator buttons that didn't even have numbers, just odd symbols. he stood guard the whole time i worked. these servers were ridiculous, way more power than any office building would need. i told the guard i'd need to do a system reboot and he went to tell the people working on the floor. and there was a moment...maybe 3 seconds where a door swung open and i saw rows of these tanks. taller than me, filled with fluid and glowing from the inside. and in them...shapes. not human. twitching. at first i didn't even know if i saw what i saw

GG_Override: Holy hell. That's some supreme-level creepy sinister shit. Did you get another glimpse of the place?

Corpo_IT_guy69: i've worked there five years and didn't even know there were hidden floors, i don't think they'll be taking me back for a field trip anytime soon. but after that i started poking around in the backend. i'm not hacker but i penetrated some security infrastructure and found videos... awful videos. i tried watching one...it was like creatures, maybe being experimented on? maybe tortured? there was screaming, animalistic. freaked me the fuck out and i yanked the cord. noped the hell right out of there.

GG_Override: Where was it in the system backend? Maybe I can find them too.

Corpo_IT_guy69: the next day after i'd calmed down and no one seemed to know what i'd found, i tried to get back in but that whole directory was missing. felt like it had been there by mistake to begin with and was moved offline. soon after that i found your message and here we are. i'm literally shaking thinking about it all.

GG_Override: Take a breath kid, you did well. I'm proud of you for telling me. You don't need to be part of this. I'll help you.

Corpo_IT_guy69: thanks, i really do appreciate that. hey...do you think they can find out i've seen anything, or talked about it?

GG_Override: Doesn't sound like those corporate dipshits know much about their own server systems. But keep your head down and don't trust anyone, even in your own department. Keep it nonchalant when you talk to anyone. Hide your movements when you're poking around and never access Hacker Logs at work. I'll meet you here tomorrow at 11 pm. And for the love of Zeus, find a better goddamned handle.
