AN: Right now I am not happy with the direction most of the shows that I have spent years following are taking. Its like all creators, after keeping the fan's hooked for multiple seasons decide to say FUCK YOU to fans and give a totally anti-climatic or negative ending. It broke my heart when it happened with GOT. Jon snow the promised price that was promise turned out to be completely useless and devoid of logic.

Similarly I was very psyched for the premier of Silicon Valley's final season and I hoped that all their struggle would be worth something and they would finally make it. They didn't, and Richard Hendricks turned out to be the Jon Snow of Silicon Valley. I haven't even seen the last season, I have just seen bits of its trailers for episodes or special moments on youtube and have decided that I have no intention of watching the ship sink. But then I remember how good the series was at the start and I started watching it again. Then as I was watching I couldn't help but curse as Richard made one stupid decision after another. Finally the idea for this flic came to me. I have been writing this non stop for 5 days now and I have finished writing 2 seasons. I am not sure I will take the story further than season 4. And this story will be loosely sticking to the cannon till start of season 3 but then will diverge completely. If you like it please leave your comments.

Oh and by the way I don't own silicon valley, HBO does.

Chapter 1: The Insertion

Richard Hendricks, the low-level hooli programmer died when he had a panic attack/ spontaneous stress-induced stroke at his doctor's office. In his place, I was inserted into his body by ROB. I had all of Richards memories and more importantly intelligence, with a bonus addition of my own intelligence, confidence in creativity.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

"Oh, you just collapsed there! Are you going to be alright?", the doctor said helping me up.

"You are a bad fucking doctor. And I am out of here."

As I left the building, I was ambushed by the smoking hot Monica Hall.

"Richard! I am Monica. I work with Peter Gregory. We met outside of Ted…."

"Yeah. I remember you. What can I do for you, Monica.", I asked with a smile.

"Are you okay?" She asked looking back at the building I came out of and then to me.

"Panic attack! The first time someone has shown interest in my tech. Both tech giants. Both with extremely lucrative offers. I don't know which to choose and I am panicking that I won't choose wisely.", I told her genuinely what Richard was feeling a little while ago.

"Richard. Buried in that clunky algorithm of yours was a compression algorithm that blew our engineering team away. What do you think hooli is going to do with that."

"I don't know that's their business.", I said shrugging.

"But it is your baby! Do you even realize that a compression this good can have on the world? Getting any file on your mobile phone in an instant! Navigation data for self-driving cars. Mobile medical imagery, all transmitting with no quality loss. This is game-changing!" She said with wide enthusiastic eyes.

"Don't you want to be in the driver seat when it happens? Do you really want to just turn it all over to hooli and walk away?" she challenged me.

I didn't give her a reply. I just took out my phone from my back pocket. Dialled the number Jared had given me and when he picked up on the other end, "Hi is this Jared? Yeah, this is Richard. Please give my apologies to Mr Belson and thank him for the opportunity but I have decided to go with Peter Gregory. Please convey that I mean no offence but I would like to see where this road takes me. Bye Jared.", I ended the call and looked at the wide grinning Monica.

"Did anyone ever tell you, you are one hell of a motivator.", I said to Monica grinning Monica.

"Look, I am a programmer. I don't know jack shit about business. But I am willing to learn with help. But before we proceed, Peter needs to know a few things. Erlich Bachman owns 10 per cent of the company. He is an ass, but he was the first one that believed in me and gave me a place to stay and develop the app free of rent in exchange for 10%. If I were you, I would try to buy him out. Second, I assume that Peter is going to need a business plan of some sort. Well, I don't have one yet. I am going to need a few days to figure that out. I have friends with whom I stay and they are good coders and programmers. I would like to offer them 1% each.

And last but very important," I said with all seriousness I could muster, "I need you to give me a ride." That elicited a peal of melodious laughter.

"Well, the last one shouldn't be a problem. I will talk about the rest with Peter and get back to you.", that is all I ask.
