white guys confirmed attackers

i'm bored. i sat here scanning all day yesterday. i'll probably sit here all day today scanning. no cid mods for about a week now.

so it looks like it might have been 'white guys' that carried out the attacks a week or more ago. the fnb is reporting that a terrorist cell within the US has recruited americans to do their dirty work. there's all kinds of speculation as to why 'white guys' (sorry i keep doing that. it's me being a bit facetious. it's the fnb that portrays everyone as brown and white) would become terrorists. brain washing, monetary gain, religious reasons etc. are what they're debating online.
they haven't released images or video yet because it's a matter of national security. that could mean anything. the perpetrators, the method, the locations... anything can be a matter of national security.
i'll have to go and see clip and ask him what his alternative news sources are saying about it. maybe he'll venture out today and come over here.

friday at clip's

i talked to clip today. we were over at his place just talking and having a drink when i unexpectedly got up and left. i told him i had to go and i just left. it was about 10pm.

i told him about trish and that i've been hanging out with her a lot. he didn't seem to care even though he thought she was working for them. he probably doesn't remember saying it. ha!!
i'm going back over to his place tonight. i'll bring him dinner and coffee.

it happened again

i was out at clip's place last night and i woke up here. i'll call clip and ask if he knows anything.

trish: unbelievable

i can't believe what trish showed me last night.
she told me awhile ago she had some control over her emotional centers. she connected with me and showed me a few images. that's easy. any volunteer can do that. then she 'placed' a couple of images in my emotional centers. it was weird. it was dream like. i've never had that happen before.
she asked me what i thought and i asked her how she did that. sending images into some one's brain is simple. it's part of what having a wired brain and a cid is all about and what it's for, but to 'place' images is something i didn't think was possible.
she told me to relax and placed an image in my pleasure center. i could 'feel' it there. i'm fully aware of where my emotional centers are. i need to be to mod other people's cid's for stimming.
after she placed the image there she did something, i don't know what, that sent me on a high that was truly euphoric. for a few seconds i lost all awareness of anything else.
when she stopped she asked me what i though. it was incredible! i've never felt that way before. i've stimmed that center of my brain before but not like that.
then she asked if she could do it again. this time she did whatever it is she does and then she touched my arm. while in a euphoric state and at the moment she touched my arm she did something else. she stimmed my brain where my touch receptors tell me i'm being touched. it was tantric. it was amazing.
i asked her to tell me more about how she knows how to do that but she said she had to go. she said she'll tell me another time.

trish

trish connected with me after lunch. she says she wants to come over tonight and show me something but she wouldn't tell me what it was.

ok. i really like her.

home grown terrorism

so it seems the terrorists that attacked the oil patch in alberta canada were 'white'. the media seems surprised. they're always showing images of dark skinned men when they name and finger 'bad guys'.
there was a camera recording an automated operation in fort mcmurray on some huge piece of equipment that caught the planting of the explosive device. the video was leaked and now it's spreading like wild fire. i wonder if the government buildings in the US were attacked by 'white guys' and that's why they haven't released footage or images of it yet. there's no way it wasn't caught by at least one camera.
the buildings that were bombed were the office of terrorism countermeasures and the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance service (isrs).

anyway, clip still hasn't left his apartment since saturday. there will be military personnel out on patrol for at least another week. i wonder if he'll venture out before then. i'll keep bringing him coffee for as long as he needs me too. what are friends for?

i haven't heard from trish since coffee yesterday. usually she connects with me every couple of hours or so. she told me she's turning on her cid a lot more than she used to because of me. i think she likes me as much as i like her.

lock-down fun

i think the entire country is on lock-down. probably canada too. i can't believe the security. random id checks by well armed military personnel and curfew is extremely strict. because of this clip won't leave his apartment so i have to go over there. if he gets id'ed he'll go straight to jail. it's been an interesting couple of days. his apartment is a dump. not that mine is any better, it's just my dump.

i met up with trish yesterday and we had coffee. she wanted to come with me to clip's place but i made up an excuse as to why she couldn't come. he'd flip if i showed up at his door with her. he warns me once a day since i first met up with her that he thinks she's working for 'them'. when i ask who 'them' is he just replies with a loud 'you know!'

there doesn't seem to be any news on the terrorists and/or the perpetrators of the attacks on saturday. i thought for sure with the government building attacks there'd be tons of video and photos in the news. you can't get within a mile of a government building without at least having your picture taken.
eight hundred and sixty eight people dead. many more injured. i'm still in a bit of shock. it's almost as big as the 10th anniversary attacks in 2011. some people think this is a 20th anniversary attack, just 6 months late, but there are no groups or factions publicly taking responsibility. none. mind you i get most of my news from the federal news bureau and we all know what kind of news that is, so i cross reference it with the stuff clip finds. i try to make sense of whatever may fall in between the two.
i'll have to keep watching and see how this turns out.

holy security

i went out for a coffee to stretch my legs a bit. you should see the security. usually it's just a few military patrols with rail guns and few (focused energy weapons). they've got military vehicles and troops with rail guns and the old m16's all over the place. none of them bothered me but they were everywhere.
surveillance drones seem to be above all the major streets.
i'm staying in the rest of the day.

it happened again

it happened again.
i woke up too early this morning feeling like crap. not hung over crap but worn out crap.
i checked my e-mail and the news. the news is all about the attacks. three simultaneous attacks on saturday. two in the states and one in canada.
the one in canada i understand. there was a large explosion in fort mcmurray alberta. it's the oil. after the 10th anniversary attacks in 2011 we've been getting most of our oil from canada.
the two attacks in the states i don't get. both were government buildings and both will have been well recorded. there's little doubt that the people carrying out the attacks will be identified. aerial surveillance will have seen them come and go.
i'm going to keep my eye on this throughout the day to see how this shapes up.

i got e-mails from both trish and clip. both wondering where i was and what i was doing for the weekend. i'll have to get back to them later this morning and see what they did.

paranoia and yesterday afternoon

clip is wacko! he thinks trish is working for 'them' and he told me not to connect with her again. he figures anyone who turns off their cid is only turning it on to collect information on other volunteers and to get updates from 'them'. he still hasn't told me who 'them' is. he's starting to get on my nerves today. i haven't told him about yesterday afternoon yet.

i connected with trish just before clip got here. she told me right in the middle of talking to her i politely excused myself, got up and walked out. no explaination when she asked. i might see her tonight and ask her more about it.

it happened again

i was out with trish yesterday afternoon and then i woke up to my alarm here.
i'm not sure what happened but i'll have to connect with trish if she's on and ask her if she knows what happened. i hope she does.

clip e-mailed me this morning and asked me about trish. he's paranoid. he says i shouldn't have told her what i do. he thinks she works for 'them'. i'll have to get him over here and talk to him about it. i know he's paranoid but it's always good to have someone keep you in check when you're dealing with a hot chick.

trish. wow!

i went for coffee with trish monday afternoon. i was worried about going to meet her 'cause i didn't know why she wanted to meet me. she asked about what i do in my 'spare time' and that made me nervous.

the first thing i did was ask about the stim house we stayed in on friday night. she filled me in. it's a place owned by a friend of hers. a bit of a party house.
then she quickly moved the conversation to focus on me. i glossed over what i did at first. i told her i knew a bit about modifying cid's and i told her a bit about the modifications i do on them. i wanted to know why she was asking.
she's a partial volunteer. she's had a cid mod to access her emotional centers. she used the mod for a bit here and there just to explore and see what she could do with it. after a few stims with pleasure and sadness she noticed she could almost do it herself with the cid turned off.
that brought 2 questions to mind. why does she turn off her cid and what does she mean she 'can do it herself.'
she told me she turns off her cid when she's not using it. if she's not scanning for information, connecting with someone, or stimming herself, it's off. i thought that was a bit weird. i haven't met anyone who turns off their cid unless they have to.
she told me she felt like she could stim her emotional centers herself and she felt like she had a unique insight on how and why we have emotions.
weird.
i switched the conversation and asked who did her mod and how much she paid to get it done. she said someones name i'd never heard before and she paid $400 for the mod. i told her i'd have done it for half that and told her to come to me if she ever wanted anything else done. i lied a bit. i would've done for a bit less but men say a lot of stupid things when sitting having coffee with an attractive woman.
we talked a bit more and i was contemplating asking her about my strange connection the other night, if she'd ever had one. i decided not to but i did ask if we could get together again sometime. she said how about now with a sparkle in her eye. woah. i wasn't sure how to take that at first but by the smirk on her face i knew.
she came back here and ended up hanging out all day in bed with me. other than the fact that i had to do twice as much work yesterday, it was awesome. i'll definitely be seeing her again.

the girl from friday night

i received a connection from one of the girls we hung out with on friday night. she wanted to know more about what it is i do with the cid modifications. i wasn't sure what to tell her. i don't really publicize my work in this area. she told me clip told her about what i do so i gave her a little bit of info. she's quite interested and wants to meet with me to discuss it further. i'm a bit leary about meeting her 'cause i really don't know her but i'm going anyway.

i asked her about where we stayed on friday night. it felt like a stim house to me except it was a nicer than i had expected. she told me it was a stim house and that the stereotype of the stim house comes from the old drug havens where people would do drugs in a so called safe place. she told me stim houses are clean and the people in them are regular people doing illegal things.

anyway, i'm meeting her later today for coffee.

what a good weekend

i got tons of work done on friday even though clip interupted me for an hour or so. most of the scanning i did was just boring stuff. nothing but scanning for most of the day.
later in the afternoon i had a couple of hardware jobs to do. both of them were volunteers who knew clip so i was comfortable doing them. i won't do a hardware job unless i know who or where the person comes from. i did one stim mod and one stim mod/upgrade.
stim mods are modifications to a volunteer's hardware that allows them more control over how they can stimulate the different emotional centers in their brains. this requires a quick scan similar to the scanning i do for junk io on servers to find the connections to their emotional centers. i add or modify some code in their cid's and they're ready to go.
the upgrade was a simple mod to access all ip addresses. not only will the volunteer be able to connect to ip addresses of other volunteers but they'll be able to connect to anything with an ip address. this can be a bit dangerous if you don't know the person. i don't really know what they're intentions are seeing as anything with a chip has an ip address.

anyway i had some extra money for the weekend. we tripped the town and ended up staying with a couple of girls at what looked to be a stim house.

i'm going to sleep this day away.

clip's close call

clip is here now. the other night when i got picked up for breaking curfew, he was chased for the same thing. he can't be caught 'cause he'll go straight to jail. he's freakin' out! i shouldn't laugh at him but i really want to. poor bastard.

i had to break from work to settle him down. work's boring today. too much scanning not enough stuff to do.
btw, my legit job is scanning servers for unused data. programs, scripts, logs, photos, holy crap the photos, and just junk io. when i find anything that hasn't been accessed in over a certain period of time specified by the client i delete it. it's an interesting job. sometimes i find stuff that keeps me from doing my work for hours. all this old stuff people used to upload and now they've forgotten about. i'm also amazed at what people used to put online in years past. i can't imagine what it must've been like surfing 20 years ago.

anyway, back to work. i gotta get clip outta here.

disturbing connection

lats night i was jarred awake by a connection from someone. it was weird. usually a connection is solicited. this one wasn't. probably someone just scanning random ip addresses looking for a live ping.

a connection is kind of like a dream but it's much more vivid and real. a dream is surreal in that people and places aren't real and/or they can change in an instant. backgrounds and peripherals aren't always clear. a connection has people and places that don't change like that (unless the person you're connected to makes them change). it's almost like watching a high definition video.

the connection i got last night that woke me up was someone having trouble on one of the space stations. obviously i don't know which one but it seemed strange to me that a volunteer would be on a space station. whoever sent him or her up there must know they're a volunteer. and as such maybe they weren't a volunteer. i'll have to ask around about this one.
anyway, the person seemed to be struggling and there was no one else in view.

what a week so far

i had a lot of work on monday. about 50/50 legit/not so legit.
tuesday we went out for dinner and a couple of drinks and met some girls.
after the bar closed we went and hung out in the park. before we realized it was after curfew. yeah. i got caught.

the first time i was in detention for being out after curfew i went through the standard procedure. couple of questions, iris scan and detention until the morning.
this time was a bit different. couple of questions, iris scan and then an interrogation. this interrogation lasted all day. all day. they threw me back into detention until this morning. so i spent 2 days in detention for being out past curfew once.
the interrogation was weird. lots of questions about me and what i do. i told them i'm a regular geek. programming, scanning etc. i didn't tell them anything about what i do with hardware. i didn't want to arouse suspicion especially since i was being interrogated for something as simple as being out past curfew. they seemed a bit hard on me for that.

being in detention meant i couldn't get access. the whole building is shielded. i couldn't try to msg clip. but now i have to find him. i hope he didn't get picked up.

clip's useless

i talked to clip today. he doesn't know anything. at least he doesn't know where i was yesterday.

btw, for those of you reading this that have not had the pleasure of meeting clip, he's a bit weird. i don't know if it's the drugs or just the way he is.
he was a partial volunteer. i say was 'cause he clipped his antenna. hence his knick name.
when he found out they were actually paying people to get wired he got pissed off. we were volunteers. i don't know what his problem with it was but he still rambles on about big industry and the government and blah, blah, blah...
anyway, he's a federal fugitive now. clipping his antenna made him a criminal under the contract he signed.
with that said i don't have to tell you he's a blast to hang out with. totally entertaining.

it happened again

i woke up this morning not sure where i was last night. i don’t think i was drunk or high. i feel fine. i’m going to have to call clip and see if he was with me and can fill me in.

i checked the news today. same old crap. possibility of a terrorist attack is high even though it hasn't happened in almost 11 years. the 20th anniversary of the first big attack passed without incident but the powers that be won't let us become complacent again. ehh... what do i care.
