Trigger Warning! Mentions of bodily harm and blood!


After a week of laying as low as we possibly could, we have managed to search for signs of more shards. Marcus was also able to find some of them and has brought a small duffel bag of different coloured shards to the HackerSpace. Sally has made some progress on the shards and also on their other possible uses during the week. Wrench and Marcus were able to get their hands on some money and bought an old warehouse deep in the woods for us to use as training and testing area. It's also the same place we decided to hide the Cyberdriver's car they used for a video some time ago. We have also been following the growing case against Dusan Nemec in the news. The first day of the trial starts tomorrow and we're going to use the media attention on the trial to our advantage.

"Now let's go over the plan once more just in case we missed something last time," Sally says from the other side of the table. "Yeah let's do that," Sitara says while bringing out a paper map. She put it down on the table and rolls it open. "Okay, so we all start from this hill here. From there we have tech support from Josh and Sally, distraction if needed from Ray and me and also (y/n), Wrench and Marcus for the actual heist. Josh and Sally will stay in the van while Ray is ready to move it elsewhere at a moment's notice. I'll be near the location on a motorcycle. You three have pretty much free hands on how you'll go about the heist just make it as clean and quick as possible," Sitara tells us. We nod in unision and look at the map again. "We'll steal that shipment of suspicious pallets. I found some papers about it last time I went near there but I can't make heads or tails about the markings here," Marcus says while he reaches into his laptop bag to retrieve some papers. He puts them down on the table on top of the map. I look at the papers with curiosity at first then with clear panic. I quickly pick up the papers and start going through them frantically searching for a certain paper. Shit... This is bad, very bad. I stare at the paper in front of me before I turn to look at Sally. She hurries over and we just stare at the paper while the others look at us perplexed. "You two okay?" asks Sitara while getting closer. When she gets within our peripheral vision we snap back into reality. "That was a long stare at a blank paper," Sitara says and we realize something. I give Sally the paper while I go through the rest of them. Sally hurries to her table to put the paper under an old projector. "We'll get to that particular paper soon but we have to be careful with that shipment nontheless," I say as I pause to read another paper. "Do you know what it contains then?" asks Marcus. Wrench nods and hums in agreement. "Explosives and fuses for said explosives. There's no mention of a dig site or anything though. No end destination or where the pallets are originally from. Something shady for sure," I say as Marcus and Wrench come up to me to look at the paper over my shoulder. "You can actually read that? I tried to but it seemed so confusing I gave up," says Marcus while scratching his head. Wrench looks at the paper for a while and says, "How do you know it's explosives and fuses, all I see is numbers in place of writing?" I look around the puzzled faces of the hackers. "Before I died I was employed briefly by a transportation company specializing in transport of dangerous goods. The paperwork was an important part of the whole process. We have UN numbers to tell us what substance it is and hazard numbers to indicate for example the ignition point. The first ones I remember memorizing were UN-numbers 1202 and 1203. Which at least where I am from were for Diesel or Fuel Oil and Gasoline. With these UN-numbers I can see bombs with fuses and detonators with fuses. The whole shipment seems to be a bomb of some sort, but for what exactly? With how much there is of all the substances it could level half the city within minutes," I tell them and Sally pipes up. "You should come here," she says and motions us to come to her table. We shuffle closer and see her old projector with the paper on the lit up glass. The projector beam is aimed at a wall on the other side of the tiny room. "So you can't really see what's written on this paper but the two of us can, correct?" Sally asks and the five hackers nod. "I hope none of you scanned this to your laptop or any other computer, because this is a hazard of a special kind," she continues and points at the paper while taking out a knife and handing it to me. "Is there a way to reveal it then?" Wrench asks looking at the knife in my hand. I think you know exactly what needs to happen dear. "Yes..." Sally says and nods at me.
