<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/5GjR5qs.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>James Martinez (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=250173.msg12388433#msg12388433)<br/><strong>City | Date | Time:</strong>San Jose, California | August, 2016 | 11:20 PM<br/><strong>Tagging | Mentioning:</strong>Zavimbi (Closed)<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Cementing the deal<br/><hr/><br/>Zavimbi's hackers would notice that the one who had penetrated their security, had gone largely idle. The Herald's hacker had done his job. He'd only breached as much of the EPRF's security, as had been necessary, to gain The Herald this meeting. However, the hacker remained on standby to keep the link open and to prevent any third parties from tracking James.<br/><br/><em>“Eloquent. I like it,”</em>Herald replied.<em>“Atlas is a fitting name.”</em><br/><br/>To the bit of keeping an eye on him, James wasn't at all surprised. Tac 6 itself, as well as numerous government agencies, were undoubtedly keeping an eye on all of his work. Trying their damnedest to figure out who he was. So they could arrest him, or at the very least, shut him down. The glorious thing about the internet, and especially having hacker allies, is even the government with all its power, couldn't compete. Politics was light years behind in the game. Always would be. Bureaucracy, by its very nature, would never be able to keep up. Every time it made an advancement, by the time that advancement came, it was already out of date.<br/><br/>Now groups like Tac 6, they were still a threat. Independent organizations, often had much more freedom and capability to keep up with the blistering rate of change. James didn't know how tied to the governments political mechanisms Tac 6 was. Thus he couldn't fully judge if they were as advanced as they could be or were held back. Either way, James wouldn't be playing around. Thus, why, he went to extremes to ensure his identity never became compromised.<br/><br/>His hacker friends and their hacker friends, were young (some around his age, others younger), fresh, and on the cutting edge. He didn't question their skill, knowledge, and wisdom on such things as technology, the internet, and all the tactics and techniques employed within their trade. He did as they instructed, and so far, they'd kept him safe. They'd enabled him to be a voice for the voiceless. For that, he was grateful.<br/><br/><em>“As is everyone else,”</em>Herald replied.<em>“I am sure Tac 6 and their sponsors, would love nothing more than to shut me down. Voices like mine as water seeping into the cracks. Eventually, the crack spreads and the rock shatters.”<br/></em><br/><em>“Now, as for payment. I don't want money. If I did this for money, it would dilute my message. Make me appear as nothing more than a mercenary for the cause. Liable to switch sides the moment a bigger payday offered itself up. Perhaps this might exhilarate you or make you suspicious. But, it is the truth. What I may request, is a favor from time to time. Hopefully, nothing burdensome. I do not wish to hinder such a worthy cause, as yours. Yet, having a friend such as you, might prove useful in times of need.</em><br/><br/><em>“Do we have a deal?”</em>
