Alone in his room, a young boy was typing away at his laptop. He had been working on his latest discovery. About a month ago, he had accidentally hacked into a strange computer mainframe. It had been exceedingly complex, and getting to the core of it had been difficult to get into. It had been almost entirely destroyed. He had to pick his way in, then recreate and bond what was left of it back together in order to be able to regularly pick his way back in.
For the past month, getting to know the mainframe had been his "project". It had been exceedingly complex, so he had been scared to press too far into it. If it was a government computer, his small laptop could easily be traced. However, when prodding showed it to be a non-government-controlled mainframe, he went ahead and did some exploring. He was glad he had, too! The capacity of the main computer must have been amazing! His laptop had crashed a few times while hacking into it and working with it.
After a while and some serious PC and laptop remodeling and upgrading, he was able to probe around more freely. It was a real adventure getting to know this computer. It was really amazing! The core stabilized an entire virtual world! It had been disconnected and the sectors destroyed, re-created, and separated. It had taken a lot of abuse. He had worked on creating a new core sector, allowing the world to be repaired and come back from its terrible state. It was an amazing world. A bit surreal, but still absolutely amazing.
He had created a virtual double that kept an eye on his new sector and the world's core. It had taken enough damage as it was, and he wanted to make sure it didn't take that much damage again. He had been working on it for a while now. He was confident he had completed its recreation, and was working on establishing a stable connection with the world. It would take a while to do, but he wanted to make sure he could check back regularly.
Glancing up at the clock, he jumped just a little bit. It was already time to go downstairs and get in the car. That was right, today was the big day. Moving day. His family was moving to a new suburb, and going to a new school. Folding up his laptop, he started downstairs towards the car with his parents. Little did he know the trouble that the choices he made would cause a group of friends at a school he wouldn't get to for a few months, Kadic Academy, the home of the computer he had connected himself to.
