L4zuru3> You’re joking? Right?
Zer0> Nope, this is legit.
L4zuru3> How can you be sure? Fake document?
Zer0> It's real!!
L4zuru3> How do you get it?
Zer0> I downloaded it from this dude's laptop, you would think someone from NASA would be more clever.
L4zuru3> WTF??
L4zuru3> You breached NASA? How?
Zer0> Not exactly…I was sniffing the public Wifi at The Brew Box. Mr NASA was sitting drinking coffee and surfing the web…
Zer0> You know what happens next. Got lucky I guess.
L4zuru3> Lucky? Are you kidding? You have just found out that GP 116 will smash into earth today!!!
Zer0> So much for flying past earth at 40000 miles. Was looking forward to the light show.
L4zuru3> Dude, everyone was
L4zuru3> Wait, how do you know he was from NASA?
Zer0> He was wearing one of these cheesy work sweaters :)
L4zuru3> What are you going to do? I mean what are we all going to do?
Zer0> Not much we can do.
L4zuru3> I need to tell my family, I need to warn them.
L4zuru3> Sorry Z I need to go. Good luck dude
L4zuru3> and thanks!L4zuru3 is offline
Good luck, Dude, I thought as a sipped my coffee.
You would think finding a classified document from NASA would be the holy grail, only this holy grail was the bearer of bad news. GP 116 was about 4 hours away from splashing into the North Atlantic. GP 116. A four-kilometre asteroid that was meant to fly past earth at a distance of only a few thousand miles. It was causing a lot of excitement and panic among the public. People were planning their best spots to view the event. It was non-stop news.
I have always been a hacker. Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by how computers work and their never-ending possibilities. My very own superpower. I would spend hours tinkering with code and experimenting with different pieces of software, always testing the boundaries of what was possible.
At first, my hacking was just a hobby, something I did for fun and a mental challenge. But I got good and started joining clans, and meeting other hackers. I began to realize the potential power that I had. I used my skills to make money, expose lies and gain sensitive information. I lived life on the edge.
I had just discovered the end of the world, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. I was tempted to leak the document to the press, but I didn’t see the point. I mean 4 hours are not enough time to panic. Maybe I shouldn’t have told L4zuru3. I wonder who he has told.
I go outside to my garden and sit on my couch, it took me ages to move it out here, after all, I thought I would need a good seat for the light show. It is starting to get dark now, it would have been perfect.
I wonder what L4zuru3's real name is? Where does he live? He? I bet “he” isn't a dude. That makes me smile. I finish the rest of my coffee.
THE END
