Excerpt
from His Reboot Girl (Return to Emerald City):
The second I started to log in, it would
register in the main datacenter, but that alone wouldn’t send up any red flags.
If I fluffed the login, it’d lock me out of the core network, but what would
Donny do then? That wasn’t a great idea.
“What do you want access to?” I asked.
“Your vault.” The words you moron were
implied.
“Which part? It’s segmented. There are
different logins for each area.”
“The wetware protocols.”
Could I remember the authentication sequence? I
hadn’t even remembered my own name until I heard it. I flattened my palm over
the reader, and extended my hand so all four fingerprints were read at once.
The login screen appeared immediately, a winking cursor awaiting instructions.
Fuck. What was the format? I swallowed hard,
and then gazed at the screen, hoping for inspiration. I hovered my fingers over
the keypad, unsure what came first.
“Come on, you should know this like the back of
your hand,” Donny said.
Was it my name first? Or the vault name? Or a
passkey? I closed my eyes and tried to visualize how it looked. How it should
look.
Nothing.
I pushed at the black hole in my memory, and
winced at how painful it was. Beads of sweat broke out across my forehead. What
was the fucking access protocol?
I know how to make it work.
What had I been thinking of?
“Get a move on, or there’s going to be more
screaming.”
I scowled at Donny. “If I fuck this up
just once, I’ll be locked out of the system.” I spoke through gritted teeth.
“Well you’d better get it right.”
Think, Scott. The wetware protocols were based on the
simple premise of linking up the human brain to others in a bio-neural network.
Information could be shared at the speed of light. Instructions sent and received
as a single thought. I’d struggled with the response times, but had cracked
that problem some time ago.
I swiped
at my forehead. Think. Squeezing my eyes tight shut, I tried to blank
out my thoughts. One name emerged from the darkness. Dorothy.
