Chapter 4 : Pawn to Rook 4

"How the hell do you expect me to come up with that kind of
security information by tomorrow morning? There's got to be a dozen or
more hard locks on that place, not to mention getting around ICE"
complained Jack, trying to make Nebulus understand the tight security
at Cryon.

"Jack, take a chill pill. So it'll take a few more hours than normal.
Just get it done as soon as possible. We need as much info as possible so
we can pull this off."

"And what if we can't? Why the hell is getting this stuff off line
so important anyways? It's not like we're trying to protect every
netrunner in the country." Nebulus dropped a few tablets on the desk
the two were sitting at. Jack watched them rolled around on a pile of
computer paper until they spun around and stopped toward one edge. By
the time Jack looked up at Nebulus, he had already walked away,
thinking about something else. To Nebulus, nothing was impossible. It
was just a matter of coming up the right plan of attack.

"Shit" mumbled Jack to himself, picking up the two pills.
'Probably only iron tablets' he thought putting them in his mouth and
downing them with the Coke sitting on his desk. 'Everything must be
duplicated. All security systems must be located and analyzed. Personnel
and schedules must be analyzed. What a fuckin' bitch!' He jacked back
into Cryon gathering the last bit of information that was necessary to
invade as he always called it.

A few hours later, the group was together once again for last
checks on the plan of attack. The meeting place was the same warehouse
that Nemesis and Slash had gone to after taking out Dave. Kind of ironic
since it is usually a place to go after the fact. It quaintly went along with
Nebulus' ego, though. Good for dealing in the black markets; bad for
dealing with friends. But then again, they all did live on the edge just
for that rush of adrenaline. For Nemesis, that was his drug of choice.

"So are we gonna go in and tear this place up or what" Nemesis
said loudly sitting down at the large meeting table that was probably
designed to be a stretch dining room table. It had been refinished and
had a monitor array placed into it so that it took up most of the table face.
He placed his combat boots up on the table and faced the head of the table
where Nebulus sat.
