JUNK? MONEY CAN BUY AN AWFUL LOT. BUT IT CAN'T BUY A CRACKER'S INSTINCTUAL GRASP ON CYBERSPACE. THERE MAY BE A LOT OF SECRETS BURIED AMONGST THIS JUNK THAT MIGHT SAVE US DECADES OF DEVELOPMENT. BUT I COULD BE HERE FOR DAYS. AND WHAT'S YOUR POINT EXACTLY? SO HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME HOW MUCH SUB-DERMAL GOVERNORS ITCH? TONI? GOT ANY OTHER GIRLFRIENDS BEING HELD PRISONER BY THE GSA? WHY DID YOU DO THIS? OH, GOD, DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK? I'M A CRACKER, FOR GOD'S SAKE. ADAM'S PISSED. SO SOMEBODY FOUND THE FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL, HUH? YEAH. WELL, I FIGURED I'D BE IN AND OUT BEFORE ANYBODY NOTICED. AND THEN I GOT BUSTED BY THESE CREEPS. WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? OH, JESSE, IT'S LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, I'M A CRACKER. IT'S LIKE... IT'S LIKE EVEREST. YOU DO IT BECAUSE IT'S THERE. HOW DID YOU GET TO A COMPUTER IN GENOMEX? WELL, THEY'RE HAVING ME WORK ON A WAY TO TAKE OVER PROXY BLUE. ECKHART'S SO PISSED OFF HE'S HAVING ME CREATE A FACSIMILE TO SELL THE GSA PARTY LINE. AND THAT'S WHY KENDRA PRETENDED TO BE MY FRIEND, SO SHE COULD DRAG ME IN HERE TO WORK FOR THESE CREEPS. ADAM SAYS WE'VE GOT TO GET OUR HANDS ON THE OTHER END OF THE MAPPING SOFTWARE BEFORE THEY DO. OR ELSE ECKHART WILL BE ABLE TO PINPOINT OUR LOCATION AND WE'RE TOAST. KENDRA'S OVER AT THE DATA DIVE STARTING AN INVENTORY. SO UNLESS IT GOT FRIED WHEN BRENNAN HIT THE SYSTEM, THEY'RE GOING TO FIND IT SOON. I'M REALLY SORRY, JESSE. LOOK, IT'S IN A RED MICRODRIVE. I'VE GOT TO GO. I'VE GOT COMPANY. ADAM. YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THE KIND OF PRESSURE I'M UNDER TO DELIVER HERE. AM I CRAZY, OR ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME TO SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU? WELL, IF I THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK. FORGET IT, KENDRA. YOU PLAYED ME LIKE A VIOLIN AND I'M DONE. ALRIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT? FORGET ABOUT ME. AND THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN SKIN. YEAH, I'M WORKING AS FAST AS I CAN. OH, TONI, I READ YOU LIKE A BOOK AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF. THINK ABOUT THIS AS A CAREER OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH OF US. YOU REALLY MEAN THAT, DON'T YOU? ABSOLUTELY. WELL, THESE MACHINES OF YOURS ARE STATE OF THE ART. IF ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS CRACK SUPERMARKET PRODUCT CODES. LOOK, I NEED MY MACHINES. MY DATABASE, MY TOOLS. WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU BRING ME OVER TO THE DATA DIVE? I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. SO TONI'S OKAY? WELL, YEAH, I MEAN SHE SEEMS FINE. YEAH, WELL RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT TO FOCUS ON RETRIEVING THE MICRODRIVE. ASSUMING THAT IT'S STILL INTACT. LOOK, THERE'S A FIFTY-FIFTY CHANCE THAT BRENNAN'S WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT A WILD GOOSE CHASE HERE FOR NOTHING. YEAH, AND WE COULD ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER FIFTY - THE SCENARIO THAT SAYS THAT HE DIDN'T FRY IT - AND OUR GOOSE IS COOKED. EMMA'S AFRAID JESSE'S NOT GOING TO FORGIVE HIMSELF FOR GETTING US INTO THIS. COME ON, GUYS DON'T WALK AROUND BEATING THEMSELVES UP LIKE THAT. HE'LL BE OVER IT BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. WHAT A LOAD OF MACHO CRAP. IT'S NOT MACHO CRAP. THAT'S WHY GIRLS LIKE SOAP OPERAS AND GUYS LIKE BOXING. OH, PLEASE. OH, COME ON, IN SOAP OPERA IT TAKES A YEAR TO TELL FIFTEEN MINUTES OF DRAMA. IN THE RING IT'S OVER IN FIFTEEN SECONDS. I HOPE THAT'S NOT YOUR PHILOSOPHY FOR EVERYTHING. HEY, ADAM, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY WENT HOME FOR THE NIGHT. BRENNAN'S RIGHT. I DON'T HEAR ANYBODY INSIDE. ALRIGHT, THEN IT'S A SIMPLE MATTER. YOU GO IN, GRAB THE MICRODRIVE AND GET OUT OF THERE. ADAM, EVERYTHING'S GONE. THE ONLY THING LEFT IS AN ESPRESSO MAKER. THEN THEY'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING OVER TO GENOMEX FOR AN INVENTORY. AND THE GSA IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO FINDING OUR SANCTUARY. ALL RIGHT, BRENNAN, RIGHT NOW THERE ARE TWO POSSIBILITIES. EITHER YOU ACCIDENTALLY FRIED THE MAPPING SOFTWARE IN THE FIRST PLACE. OR THE GSA HAS IT AND THEY DON'T KNOW THEY HAVE IT. EXACTLY. GREAT, SO WE'RE RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED. ONLY NOW WE HAVE TO BREAK INTO THE GSA TO GET THE SOFTWARE AND RESCUE TONI. IT'S A GOOD THING I'VE ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Шинель на английском - текст Автора!
