Chapter 3 : The Finer Things in Life...Just Got Worse

"And here is the room where the hunter/killers will be operating
from, General. Each station will house one person and the collective will
send necessary information to the GN-12 over there" pointed a research
engineer for Cryon who was showing General Stark the first labs that
would be used in Operation Revolt: a joint military/government
operation headed by members of the CIA, NSA, and USAF Electronic
Security Command. Behind the glassed in walls of the studio-like lab, the
tour of the labs had come to an end for one of the leading officials in the
implementation of the operation, as well as the leading researchers,
programmers and engineers of Cryon and Nortech. General Stark
standing out by being the only one not in a normal suit with visible
hardware and ports.

"Very impressive, Dr. Rudenburg, very impressive." spoke
General Stark looking at the GN-12 comp. "Just how fast is that computer
and will it give us instantaneous time to react if a priority is at hand?"

"It's a 10 teraflops machine packaged in a secured housing that
will be able to handle hundreds of users without slowing down a bit. The
computer has been programmed specifically to handle that type of a
situation, should it arise. With the latest advances made by Nortech in
the human/computer interface field, the computer will be an extension
of everyone working in the nets as well as off them. The operation will
begin as scheduled in two weeks. You can be assured of that!" he stated
with a grin as if he had sealed a done deal. "If you come this way, we can
move onto the final discussion of the networking reorder program and
how we will integrate each level of defense as the time arises."

The glass panels they were behind separated them from the most
diabolical security system ever created by man. Each station consisting
of a 'coffin' where men would be connected into the computers and nets
24 hours a day kept alive with a revolutionary new life support system.
The General stood there for a last glimpse of the entire project. His
decorated chest rose and fell deeply with every deep breath. 'The
teraflops computers. The neural links. The net connections and security
systems. So it all comes down to this.' the General thought to himself
giving the place a once over, then moving on without a change of facial
expression.

"So this project will enable us to monitor all of the Milnet sites
and government linkup locations at any given time from anywhere,
