The Hackers' Journey (A Cyberpunk RP) [Full- Started]

[dethklok114]

The intercoms in the rooms of the group buzzed waking them all up at 7AM.

"Good morning, you have your assignment, feel free to use the conference room to plan out strategies, it is the last room on your floor, it contains all the necessary information. Also, seeing as this test is primarily for deckers, samurai may use the Gym on the floor above. Get to work, and have a good day," the intercom chirped before falling silent.

Marko woke up to the intercom buzzing overhead. He was still thinking about the events of the previous night. He had simply nodded and agreed with Damien, which was simple enough. The problem was that he was still feeling a little paranoid. He could've killed me at any moment, Marko thought, so I'm probably good, considering that he didn't. Still, he couldn't shake a sense that there was something else going on. His datapad was probably just for in case I went berserk and he wanted backup. But what would they do if we ended up fighting, had we both signed up for protection? Marko got up, yawned, and walked to the dresser. I'm overthinking this. He pulled on pants and a T-shirt. Everything's gonna be fine. Marko grabbed his sweatshirt on the way out. Now let's see what this place has to offer. He pulled the datapad out of his pocket and tossed it over his shoulder into the dresser drawer, which automatically snapped shut.

The buzzer woke Scott up from his sleep. He was having the weirdest dreams.
"That stuff really packs a punch."
Scott finished his breakfast and headed over to the gym.

Damien rose from bed and suited up, buckling on both swords in their previous formation. He quickly grabbed some cool ice-water, and decided to forgo the shades today. He indulged himself with two oranges, what he considered to be the greatest boon of nature. He bit into the yielding fruit, and wondered if they had these flown in from his orchard back home. He dismissed the thought as he headed to the gym. He saw Scott heading towards the gym and made to catch up with him. When Damien finally reached his fellow samurai, he spoke. "Hey, Scott, since we're going to be working together to save the skins of those soft deckers, mind practicing together so we can get a feel of each other's style? They probably have a VR training unit in the gym to test us out." Damien laughed, knowing that the life of a decker was anything but soft.

 

[MisterLillie]

"You just about read my mind."
Scott smiled.
"I'm not really a VR kind of guy though, I was thinking live sparing."

Tetsuya woke up cletching on his rosa-Lyn body pillow.
He gets up very lazily as he immediantely puts on his goggles.
He turned back to the pillow and gently rubbed the soft cheek.
"I'll be back..."

Tetsuya got dressed and went to grab some breakfast. He poured himself a bottle of juice and ate a lightly toasted bagel. As he ate, he stared at the team, and just mumbled under his breath.
"Tsk... I'm all they need..."

how is it that you're staring at the team when your still in your room? And way to completely disregard the point of the secret gift. Finally, how old is your character? He seems a little too perverted to be the age I pictured him to be, so I just want to clarify.

Scott and Damien walked together to the gym. It was huge, every piece of training equipment that you could think of. Some basic, and some advanced. Scott looked in awe at the facility. There was a few different sparing rings, and fighting areas along with a Virtual Reality area in the back.
"You ready?" Scott said to Damien
"Always" Damien said quickly
The two Samurai stepped onto the martial arts style fighting area. It was a large round, lightly padded fighting surface. Each fighter took positions on either side of the circle. Damien bowed stating that he was ready to fight. Scott not used to this greeting returned the bow but in a much more sloppy and awkward way. Just as Scott returned to an upright position from his bow, Damien quickly drew Killing Rain and Crashing Waves in a lighting fast dash towards his opponent. Scott barely had anytime to react, let alone counter attack, or block. All he could do was do his best to get out of the way of the pain coming his way. Scott rolled to his left, just getting out of the way in time. However Damien did not let up the attack, with one fluid motion he swung downwards towards Scott with the katana in his right hand. Scott rolled one more time, extending his baton on the way. Damien continued his offensive on Scott. Scott barely able to keep up was only able to defend with his weapon and block Damien's attack. Finally Scott saw an opening and swung his baton over his head to connect with Damien's. But just as Scott lifted his arm to strike he felt a cold sharp pain on his neck. The tip of Killing rain was touching his Adams apple, stopping him dead in his tracks.
"You lose" Damien stated.
"Yeah you got me. Again?"
Damien withdrew his sword back to his side and nodded. This time Scott attacked first, his baton ringing of Damien's twin swords. Damien was hardly breaking a sweat, he then side stepped Scott and tripped him with the back end of Crashing Waves. Scott laid on his back faced up staring at Killing Rain.
"You lose" Damien said for the second time
Scott changed his focus to Damien's face, and Damien's cold eyes. A small chill crept up Scott's spine.
"Alright, one more, but this time; no weapons."

The deckers that remained on the floor filed into the room without a nameplate to find what looked like something of a boardroom. The room was rectangular, with the center of it completely dominated by a long black marble table with three chairs on either side. Embedded in the center of the table was a small tinted glass dome that was immediately recognizable as a holographic display.
A purple tinted face came out of the dome and spoke to the people.
"Hello, I am Y-1. I will be providing intel for you on your missions," It said in its slightly robotic voice. "I have been given a list of topics that I am able to discuss with you, however anything dealing directly with anything that may be illegal or confidential is forbidden. Please insert query now."

Don't worry Jello, I said it was okay.

Damien sheathed his swords and helped Scott to his feet. He then gently placed them both on the sword rack and turned around. "Scott. Get rid of that baton; get a tanto or some other bladed weapon. You want something that can cause the most damage in the smallest amount of time, and that baton isn't it. If a man is that close, then you want a blade to make him back the hell up so you can get some firing room." He began to unlace his boots. "I hope you don't mind, I really don't feel comfortable in shoes. I only wear them because otherwise I get kicked out of buildings." He pulled both boots off, toes digging into the cold gym floor. "hang on..." Damien took aim and threw his boot right at a camera, spinning it around so that it wasn't pointing at them. "If I'm going hand to hand, I'm going to have to use dojo techniques. Most people can't track them, but a camera nowdays can rewind, and play screen by screen. If they like observing us, then a guard can do it."

As he said it, a guard walked in. Damien pointed at him, and the man froze on the spot. "You. Stay there." He commanded. "I don't want to see mockeries of my technique trying to be copied." He then looked back at Scott, after swinging his arms like they themselves were swords for a few seconds. He bowed and stated, "Whenever you're ready."

3W sat on the table, observing the hologram. He waited for a moment, then asked, "Our first assignment is to hack, or attempt to hack, Yansec's systems, with the objective of testing their virtual defences. Correct?"

Spoiler: Didn't I mention?

That he got up to get breakfast?
And I think I gave him an age between 18 and 21.... not exactly sure.

My room has a kitchen, there was no mention of a cafeteria, So my character never visited one. Not that it matters anymore because our characters have moved into the training rooms. Just saying, and thank you for clearing up the age for me. When you said kid I pictured a twelve year old. lol

 

[TraitortoHeaven]

Spoiler: My bad

Must've missed that

"So what's the objective?"

Just wanted confirmation.

 

[dethklok114]

"You are correct 3W. Your current objective is to hack the primary Yanser mainframe to retrieve a file of no consequence." The image switched to a view of a server. "The server is located on floor 78 but direct access is not required to complete the mission, though it could be beneficial. Any other questions?" It switched back to a face.

 

[TraitortoHeaven]

"If it's a file of no consequence, why are we going for it? I mean, seems pretty petty..."

 

[RootbeerJello]

Marko looked at Tetsuya "I'd assume it's because they don't want us seeing files of consequence, and this is just a security test so it makes no difference. We're some of the best hackers around, so the thinking must go that if we can't crack the mainframe, no one can."
