Moonlight Hacker

Test of Skills

I keep quiet and lower my breathing.

Someone slowly approaches...

Why did I agree to this...

(Earlier)

I follow IF out of the basilicom.

"So, what's up"

IF pulls out a scroll, sorta like a phone, but hologram.

"I want you to join me in an infiltration and investigation mission"

I think about her request, But no matter how much I think about it, i'm in the phase of 'what the hell, lets see what happens'. I accept IF's request and we head off into the city.

We stop by a warehouse.

"This is the Planeptune Intelligence Agency. This is our base of operations"

We enter the warehouse. there's lines of machines against the wall, a board just like the one in the guild, with missions on it, and a few agents roaming.

"So, what does the Planeptune Intelligence Agency do?"

IF turns around.

"We keep the streets of Planeptune safe. We stop things like Piracy, Cheats, Hacks, etc"

She leads me to the mission board and picks an easy one.

"IF, what's the difference between Missions and Quests?"

IF pulls out a mission sheet and a Quest sheet.

"Well, Missions are like harder Quests. They are for the Agents of P.I.A.

Missions vary from stopping distributions of Cheats and Hacks, to defeating dangerous monsters" She hands me a mission sheet.

The sheet read;

Distribution of Arfoire Chips.

Details of Mission:

Stop the person whos distributing the chips.

Infiltrate the enemy base.

Fry the main system.

Rewards: 45,000gold

I roll the Mission sheet and put it in my pocket.

"So, I need to find whoever's distributing these...

And sneak into their base."

IF looks at me with high hopes.

"Fine"

(Later)

I casually walk around town, searching for the distributer.

IF gave me a wireless microphone and earpiece so we can communicate.

I place my index finger to the earpiece.

"IF, do you read me, Over"

Static crackles from the other end.

"Yep, I hear you. Find anything"

...

"Nope, just wanted to make sure it works, Over"

I continue looking down into an alley-way on the side of the road.

Someone walks out from the alley-way, holding what seems like a chip.

"Found ya"

I slip out of my hiding spot and head into the alley-way.

I duck behind a corner when I hear someone talking.
