Chapter 37: Chaotic Combo:The Briefing
"Alright team, the job today might be the hardest we’ve ever done so far." Tag stood in front of his team, with their mission objectives displayed on the monitor behind him.
The screen displayed three objectives, hack, copy and sabotage.
"Our client wants three things from us," Tag explained, "first we break into the target, copy every single line of relevant code and leave behind a kill switch which would be used at a later time."
Before Tag could say anything else, a hand went up from the couch where the team of six sat.
"OH! OH! Tag! Quick question!"
Tag didn’t even need to look to know who it was. He closed his eyes for a moment and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What is it, Zero?"
Zero grinned, legs swinging with barely-contained energy as he sat on the couch. He was the youngest on the team—eighteen, but looked and acted five years younger when excited.
He had on a baggy hoodie that covered his entire frame. His hazel eyes excitedly fixed on Tag indirectly informing him that he had taken one too many cups of coffee.
"I mean, yeah, we’re breaking into something, but like—what is the thing? What’s the target here?" he asked, blinking innocently. "You said it’s a system, right? But like... system as in server farm? Military-grade? CIA honeytrap? A bank? The monster that keeps eating my socks?"
"I was getting to that—" Tag began.
