-Ten years later-

My MIT days were successful. I had scored a high-ranking position at a private cyber security firm in London. And I was living on my own now, in an apartment. I had two cats that I took care of; their names were Bella and Prince. Bella and Prince followed me everywhere. And occasionally they would climb onto my laptop while I was doing overtime work at home. But I didn't mind. 

At this time, I had just celebrated my 28th birthday. But then; tragedy struck across Britan. I woke up one morning to breaking news on the television. The BBC was reporting that there was a mass shooting in Wales. Over one-hundred people were injured, and twenty-five were confirmed dead. At the time I didn't think much. Until literally the next day, most of the critical infrastructure across the UK was temporarily offline. Airports were shut down and hospitals all over were resorting to backup systems. 

Infrastructure was shut down for four days straight. When things came back online; the prime minister called an emergency session of Parliament and all government agencies. Including MI6. I was glued to my tv when the news broke. A terrorist organization known as MSPECK had taken accountability for BOTH the mass shooting and DDOS attack. It was revealed that MSPECK was an international terrorist organization based in the Middle East. MSPECK also had some very close ties to SPECTRE.

There was a thirty-minute break between that press conference. Shortly after, the chief of the Secret Intelligence Service; known only as "M" held a conference of her own. "As of today, Great Britan is at war with MSPECK and SPECTRE." She said first.  Then a brief pause happened. "We will capture whoever caused such tragedy to this great nation. Therefore, I am asking all citizens to report any information known about what has happened to the Secret Intelligence Service."

I was devastated. And I felt a great urge to help join the fight. A week later I had dropped my resignation papers with my current job. I decided to apply to work for SIS. I believed they could use someone with as big of a brain that I have. Before I knew it I had received my security clearance and was ready to start working within Q Division.
