I decided to make a new blog to kind of keep updates on my other one. Id do it in my first one, but I hate breaking continuity. Its the longest story I have written so far. But a few things I would like to know/have no clue about.
1. After posting the sections up I see that certian sentences, or worst case scenario Whole freaking paragraphs come up missing. wth blogger?
2. My stories are posted most recent to first. Its like reading a book backwards and dont know how to fix it. Would like info on that.
3. While writing this ive had so many other ideas pop up, and instead of letting them go to waste. I know this dosent go with points one and two, but I figured since I made a second blog I could write other stories that dont really connect with my main one on here when they crop up. With that said I guess I could start with the story.
The cold breeze cuts to the bone, but Lucas pays it no mind. His short black hair rustles alongside the breeze, aside from that, you wouldn't be able to tell the wind had even affected him. He was here for a reason, and the cold wasn't about to stop him. Pulling his bag closer to him he steps into the shadows, instantaneously disappearing into the autumn night. He silently treads across the metal catwalk, making sure nobody below him heard as he headed to the main building. In front of him laid the largest technology firm in the world, scaling heights of one-hundred twenty five stories, the building its self was intimidating to many. But Lucas new better, the first ninety or so floor were merely offices and call centers. But what lie between the offices and the data storing servers on the top floors is another story. There was the control center for the whole company. The one place that couldn't be accessed by anyone without key cards and several other biological locks His freshly made key card would not only grant him access to almost anywhere in the building, but would fool the security grid the locks were attached to to mimic the cards of random employees currently in the building. A gift from the 'tech-goddes' as he called her. Smiling as he waved the key past the door, it silently unlocked and gave way as he slipped in, only noticed by the cameras. Immediately he veered to the right of the grand hallway of cement and fogged glass calling for the elevator to come his way. The doors closed right behind him, much to the dismay of the employee who had just missed the ride up. Now that the doors were closed, Lucas began the real planning.
Pulling out his laptop, his fingers flew across the tiny keyboard, accessing a file labeled redemption. Loading all the filed onto a flash drive, he shuts the laptop and returns it to his bag. Coming to a stop, Lucas had a moment of panic, reaching for the door shut button, he holds at as the elevator comes towards its next stop, but instead continues upward towards the ninetieth floor. Shedding his coat, he reaches for the roof of the tiny room, and makes his way to the top of the elevator. From there he waits, the files given to him by his latest employer, there should be a vent somewhere up ahead. For now it was a matter of finding it. The car below his feet shudders, the stops. "Shit, somebody is getting on" He hissed through gritted teeth as the doors below him slid open, and a trio of employees walked in. The elevator continues upward, their bland conversations going on below him. Thankfully for Lucas, the shaft he needed was only a few more floors ahead. Crouched, he waits to make the jump, one wrong move could end in disaster. About a few feet above him, Lucas jumps in and slides further in, making sure the rising elevator didn't snap him in two. About halfway through the vent, he heard an alarm blare. "There's no way I was caught!" He whispered as he stopped dead in his tracks. Listening closely, he heard the cold robotic female voice give him all the information he needed "Attention Dy-tek security, there has been a break in on the main floor, all available security to the main entrance." He smiled, fate had granted him a major distraction. "Time to get to work" He smiled as he found the entrance to the nerve center for the company, pulling out the hard drive from his pants pocket.
Silently he dropped into the control room, and headed for the keyboard connected to the main terminal. All he had to do was insert the drive and push a tiny button on the drive. Within seconds, the virus began to work, at first the lights flickered, followed by the robotic voice, now seriously distorted."All sec-c-c-c-curity to the maiiinnnn flo-" Now the voice had degraded into barely recognizable clicks and scratches. Heading back into the vent, he leaves the pin drive in the terminal. The virus not only wiped out the main system, but any evidence on the drive its self. should anyone try to extract any information, their computers would fry in an instant. Another gift from his tech goddess.making his way further into the ventilation system, he comes to what he was looking for. the main shaft. Ordinarily this would be impossible with a constant whirring of fan blades, now a inert mass of blades that now resembled an odd landscape. One that Lucas knew how to cross. Jumping nimbly from blade to blade, he slowly made his way to the bottom over the course of fifteen minutes. From there, he silently slipped out into the shadows as he had came. A real pro, worth every dime spent on me he thought as he made his way away from the techno-conglomerate. However, there was one thought that nagged at him as he walked the back streets of the downtown. However miraculous the distraction was, it seemed to be, coincidental. And in Lucas' business coincidence is never a good thing.
