[CLOSED] initiating handshake

[r3f4c70r3d]

Who: Angel, Fenris, Giovanni
Where: Westerly
When: Week 3 Day 1
Summary: new hardware who dis
Restrictions/Warnings: none

[With all the chaos brought on by the recent scandal, it wasn't hard to predict that their would be higher levels of activity amongst the Companies employees. Now would be a time to find out where loyalties lay, either with the Company and by proxy, Jack, or a chance for those who have been waiting for the right smokescreen to go rogue.

In light of these possibilities, Jack has given her names to look into, Fenris and Giovanni being two of them.

The method of contact she has been using for Rhys has worked out in her favor so far, so she uses a similar tactic for them. A new program on their work computer desktop or comm device, not there the night before but looking into its history will reveal that it was installed alongside the most recent update.

Much like Rhys they have consoles issued by the company, hardware and software alike familiar to her like an old friend. However, unlike Rhys (thankfully) their consoles haven't been tampered with, at least not to the extent that Rhys has meddled. With most of their sub settings still at their default, its easy for Angel to slip in without raising alarm, infiltrating their subsystems and gathering info, but you can only gain so much from data, sometimes its better to make a direct connection.

So they have the option now, open the program, or leave it?]

[The fact is, he doesn't know much about technology outside of the narrow parameters within which he needs it, which is to say, very little. The Cerberus Unit, what he is-- well. He's an attack dog, ranking somewhere slightly higher than a gun or sword or other piece of equipment within the Company's inventory, something a little more expensive, a little more high-tech, but he's a weapon all the same. As such he owns no computer, has no need of one, but the comm he's been given for maintaining contact with his Handler or other Company employees should the need arise is easy enough to access. At least, for someone like her.

He doesn't sleep much, doesn't need to, and as such there are spaces of time left empty and gaping where he isn't needed, where he sits and stares at the four blank walls of his room, waiting for the day's first command. It's during such a time - boredom seeping in, his thoughts turning over and over that one event from his past, the one that cements his connection with Jack, unequivocally - that his comm makes a soft subtle sound, drags his attention away from (HeineHeineHeine) his own thoughts and back into the present. Idly, he reaches to pick up the device, clear screen coming to life in his hands and it's only an update, nothing of any real interest and yet the icon indicating the newly installed program may as well be explored.

If it's been set up on his comm, there must be a good reason for it.

And so, with nothing better to do, he opens it.]

[ Fenris doesn't use his console much. He distrusts it, as he distrusts most tech that's more advanced than the average farming tool. He uses it strictly for work: to receive orders, to keep up with overall Company directives, and to check in when he's told to do so.

When he notices the new program that morning, he's not sure what to do. He has no messages regarding it; no instructions. It leaves him at something of a loss. However, he surmises that if it's a Company console, then it must be a Company program, which means it must serve some kind of necessary purpose. Perhaps this is a test. Perhaps someone is watching.

He grits his teeth. He opens the program. ]
