[Get your laptop out and connect to wifi,] was the text message she gave me within moments of getting into the air... I think, I dont know since she may have programmed it to tell me once we got into the air, I HAD turned off the wifi and cell functions after all.
Well anyway I pulled out my laptop and connected to the wifi…

Several windows suddenly popped up, along with an IM window on the top saying [read and watch:] so I did...
CiTy Operating System aka ctOS is a city wide "network of things" allowing for different devices to talk to each other and become more efficient.
Security is provided by hardwired encryption/decryption modules built into different parts of the network as well as software encryption/decryption on the server side, utilising military grade encryption and beyond the network can be safely called un-hackable.
ctOS can make your life better, faster, safer, and more efficient.
Blume Corporation
"Ok... Well that was something else..." I stated to myself, after the training I had done with StarGazer and alone I saw several things:
1) if you got hardware access to the servers, you could control the entire network.
2) with the types of tech they were connecting to it, getting into the network would mean having the entire city as your weapon.
3) I was not the only one that would see this.
In the end I just messaged StarGazer with what I thought and she just replied. [True. And you have not even seen the half of it.]
Location Name: ctOS Alpha Test Site
Designation: The Bunker
Description: The Bunker was the first test site of the ctOS, Its location remains a mystery to this date. It is based of the ctOS system and is untraceable, however it was disconnected from ctOS after the beta test to prevent backdoor access, it is still compatible to the ctOS network.
Notable On-Site Assets:
Non-Monitored Power Line (Hardline Cut, May be possible to repair)
Generators (Offline)
ctOS Servers (Offline)
Secure Network Connection (Inactive)
Bridge (Active, Powered)
Location: Publicly Unknown/Redacted, [Stored on secure phone.]
[An untraceable bunker? Really?] I messaged to StarGazer
[The only way I knew about it was because I tracked the shipments to it.] Was the once again immediate response. [Continue reading.]
Personnel Name: Tobias Frewer
Status: Alive
Occupation: Freelance Engineer
Previous Occupation(s): Engineer, Blume Corporation (Project ctOS)
Personnel Notes: A Pioneer of the ctOS project, Mr. Frewer was the lead of the hardware division and designed or helped design much of the communication, server, and hardware that interfaced with external systems such as bridges. He helped build the bunker and still visits it often.
After being fired Mr. Frewer went (as) off-grid (as possible) and started a business Nicknamed Tobias's Shop hidden in a homeless camp where he mainly deals in Black Market Hardware and software.
Psych Profile: After he was fired by Blume Corporation he gained heavy paranoia, (This was not unhealthy due to Blume Corporation attempting to monitor him through ctOS,) and would sometimes take drugs. If aggravated he will flee however if one would befriend him it may stabilize his personality.
[And how does he fit in?] I asked.
[He visits the bunker, he can build you a… key… to get inside. You will however need to get the power online and connect it to the ctOS system,] was her reply, just as soon as I finished reading she messaged me. [Sleep, I will contact you once you are in the airport terminal.]
I smiled which may seem odd but it had been a while since someone had cared about me in the way StarGazer was. I messaged back to her [Are you watching me?]
[Sweet dreams.] Was the reply, and with that my computer shut down.
"Hmm, StarGazer… What are you planning…" I mumbled while putting my laptop into my bag. and with that done I appreciated being in first class by laying back and going to sleep…
A/N: Ok Second chapter up… Would you believe that I did most of the chapter in a day… Well while I may have some idea of where I want this to go I currently have no buffer so updates may be sporadic, but I Should have one a week (I gave two this week b/c I wanted to be nice.
