Plans Moving Forward (Page 143)

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: Waiting for Jess to get ready, Home)~~~

Jess is taking her time, and thanks to that, it's giving me time to prepare all the hacks and programs on my phone. Jerry's BBQ Smoke Shop is located near a Server Farm for GBFT. While it's not right next door, I'll take Jess on a little walk after our date, and I'll launch everything from my phone into the GBFT servers.

The backdoor I already had into GBFT has enlightened me about the real people watching me. Their names and where they live. The puppets they control on the board and what they control in the company. However, they were wise to hide any additional information on a server farm off the grid, away from any connections with GBFT.

So I'll have to hack the servers remotely, it'd be easy if they were connected to the internet, but they're not. It's a network that the owners of GBFT use to talk, trade, and do everything corporate criminals do. It's sophisticated. It doesn't need internet because all the computers are wirelessly linked to the servers. Allowing privacy in its best form in our world.

However, that doesn't mean it's not possible to get in. It's pretty simple for me in the end. I'm already done with the hack and program. All I have to do is connect to the servers and let my work do its magic. The 20th and 21st centuries wouldn't dream of the technology we already have, but in terms of spaceflight, we've stagnated.

I've had some ideas regarding what I can do in this world, but I'll have to set up protections for myself before I start making moves like that. "Okay, I'm almost ready! Just give me a few more minutes!" She said that a few minutes ago... Is this what having a girlfriend is like? Hmm... Never thought I'd say that about my sister... I'm so glad we're no longer genetically related.

The people watching me and trying to monitor me are some of the most reclusive and wealthiest people I've ever seen or heard of. Knowing the identity of my enemies helps, but they're not beaten yet. Once I get access to their private servers, I can destroy their lives with the press of a button. "My intellect at work..." The arrogant words leave my lips, but I can't help it.

These people, they've underestimated the true power of my mind. There are things that I want to be answered, though... Mainly, how The Primordiums left me messages... The system running The Aeternus Universe is advanced, but giving it more thought, I can't stop the suspicions I have. There are too many possibilities to say for sure, but something bigger is going on.

~~~(Location: Scott's bedroom, Finishing up)~~~

I take a final look in the mirror, and I'm finally satisfied with how I look and what I'm wearing. Scott's been very patient, and I shouldn't keep him waiting any longer. The date we're about to go on is one that I've never had with a man... It's mostly been bad relationships and even worse dates... This is new for me too, and I'm embarrassed about that...

The moment I step into the kitchen and the sound of my heels click, Scott looks up from the couch, and his mouth slowly opens... "Uhh... Umm... You look... Wow..." My heart jumps in joy, and butterflies fill my belly! This is the first time a guy has reacted like this for me... My poor taste in men is starting to bring up bad memories...

I can't help thinking that I dated such horrible men because of Scott... Because they weren't Scott and I couldn't be with him... "You like it?" He hears my timid voice and nervous posture. In the span of a couple of seconds, he's standing in front of me with his hand on my bare shoulders. My tight red dress and string bands gently hug my shoulders.

My red dress stops about 4 inches above my knees, a modest yet sexy look that I wish I could've had more in my life. "Like it?" For a second, I get a little scared that he doesn't. "I think it's the sexiest piece of clothing I've seen you in!" The feeling from earlier rushes back, and now I know that I should try lingerie with him.
