CHAPTER 3: "THE ADMINISTRATOR", by "THE VISION"
Kenny thought of yesterday when he looked through his window.
"I hope Dizzy returns when I restart my computer", he despirately
thought.
On the background, a small laptop began making rattling noises. Kenny waited,
being worried as hell...
"Please Dizzy, please come back to me. I didn't meant what I said
yesterday"
"No, It can't be!", he yelled after a few moments. Dizzy usually was
such a chatterbox, she would respond immediately if Kenny switches his laptop
on. She often threatened him, saying she wouldn't not come back again. But that was only
temporarily, this has never happened before!
Kenny desperately searched for some trace for Dizzy, he couldn't find anything.
Nothing that could tell him that she was deleted or blocked. "It's useless,
I'll never get her back" "Data recovery programs aren't working, no
logs, no... nothing!"
A reflection of the computerscreen was now visible in Kenny's glasses while he
lowered his head. A little tear fell down the keyboard, exactly on the
"D"-key.
"Dizzy, where are you?"
Suddenly, a message box appeared on the screen. It looked like a standard
"windows" warning message. It said: "Look behind you"
Kenny was kinda overcome by this message, he felt a cold feeling down his back.
"What the... What is happening?"
"O.k, this is kinda scary", he thought while turning around slowly. He
shivered for a moment. When he finally turned around completely, a wicked voice
came out of his laptop which scared the hell outta Kenny:
"Ah! Got ya. Hahahahaha, you should have seen de look on your face. It was
hilarious!", the unfamiliar voice spoke.
"It can't be, some other digital intelligence has taken over my
laptop", Kenny thought while looking at the computer screen.
"What? Who are you, and what have you done to Dizzy!", Kenny said fiercely.
"If I tell you, you'll kill me"
That made Kenny even more angry. You sick fck, what are you meaning by that?
"Listen kid, I don't mean any harm but I eh..."
"But what?" Kenny said impatiently
"I can make life really easy for you, if you just listen!", the
robotical voice said.
"Oh no, you can't speak me into this sick game of yours. Now tell me what
you did to Dizzy!"
"In time, little boy. First I wanna show you something..."
A internet explorer-window appeared on the screen. It was loggin on on a quite
popular website. It was the website which most people have a free email account
on. (The Vision makes up this service. Don't look up on the internet, you won't
find anything) It was called "BBAmail", and most users had originally
signed up as a beyblader.
"What's the big deal", Kenny responded still angrily.
Kenny saw that the cursor had moved from the adress field, to the website's
Login dialog! Kenny wasn't amazed, after all he had seen this a million times
when Dizzy did this socalled "hocus-pokus". But the next thing made
him quite afraid...
"How... How d...do you. How d...", Kenny said surprised.
"Well, let's say that I know your first and last name. That's enough for me
to look up your username at BBAmail", the voice said coolly. "But it's
actually THIS thing which can give you a heartattack...", he continued...
Character by character, the "password" dialog filled itself while a
rather stunned Kenny watched speechless.
"You're bluffing, right?", Kenny said while the mouse pointer moved
itself to the "Log in"-button.
After a few moments, a new window appeared. One which was very farmiliar to
Kenny... A welcome message was seen at the top of the page:
"Welcome "Kennyboy7", you have 2 new emails!"
"No, it can't be. This is just a sick joke alright?", Kenny said while
he gulped for a moment.
"Welcome in the new world, boy. This is for real!"
Kenny stared at his screen. He felt like a headache was coming up. "This
just can't be happening... Some digital freak entered my computer and then that
freak opens my email account!", he talked to himself.
"Who are you calling freak?"
Kenny didn't answer, he was still lost. Just until this new digital being inside
his laptop snapped him back to reality...
"Hey kid, you gotta pay attention here. This is the deal... With me as your
companion, you can unlock any account. just as if you were an
administrator!"
Kenny didn't really know what to say, but his offer did interest him!
"Just imagine the possibilities! You can do even more than most
administrators, for you have the ability to pay enormous bills just by
redirecting them to a random pay-account! All you have to do is let me live for
just 3 months, what do you say?"
Kenny didn't know what to do right now. More than everything, he liked Dizzy to
return to him. But on the other hand, this offer was amazingly attractive.
"Do you promise to give Dizzy back when this is over?", he asked a lot
more interested.
"Don't worry kid, I give you my word on that", the
voice spoke innocently. "After all she's still safe on your harddisk. She's
just, say... In a state of hibernation. Yea that's it"
Kenny hesitated. What makes him want to trust the strange being in his laptop?
Was it his kindness, his humor?
"I have to think about it", Kenny said while he layed himself on the
bed.
"You can't, believe me. If you don't confirm now, I'll delete myself and I
take Dizzy with me!", he threatened. "Ya see, I only have a chance to
live inside of a computer. I can't allow you to turn the lights out just like
that if you know what I mean!"
"Forget about his kindness", Kenny thought. "That damn scruff, he
can't do this to me"
"Now what's it gonna be kid? 3 months heaven on earth, or system failure!
Hahahaha"
"He, you didn't say THAT, did you?"
"No, but I changed my mind on it", he said on a funny tone. "You
have no choice, I own you!"
"Damn you, stupid peace of machinery! Wait until I get my hands on that
sucker who offered me that program..."
"Hey what do you gonna do kid? The man is old, now he's probably slowly
dieing in his rocking chair. Now click "ok" in this message box would
you?"
"You gonna regret this", said Kenny while he grabed his mouse to
confirm this option. He is just about to push when just that instance, the mouse
pointer started acting weird.
"What the..."
"Hahahaha", the voice laughed again. "I got you again. Oh you're
just too funny Hahahaha!"
"Would you give me a chance on pushing that "ok"-button
now?", Kenny
"You do just that Kenny. By the way, you can call me "Sy", if you
want too"
Kenny had no thing to say, he felt like he's being used. By some
"virus", he prefered to call. But on the other hand, he was actually
curious what this "Sy" could actually do for him. Maybe if he stayed
nice, Sy wouldn't hurt him or Dizzy. Maybe...
Kenny thought about that one sentence: "With me as your companion, you can
unlock any account. just as if you were an administrator!"
-
What if you had acces?
...acces to many E-mail accounts on the net?
...acces to many the website accounts on the net?
What if you had the ability to delete other people's posts or files on their
accounts?
...or the ability to modify account settings?
...or the ability to send E-mail from other peoples accounts to their friends,
family, secret lovers?
One thing is for sure... You wouldn't do these things, would you?
Just respect your users' privacy...
Not messing around with them...
'Cuz there just ordinary people...
With ordinary thoughts...
What would you do instead?
What if YOU were "the administrator"???
