*Sasha, I finished that Quick Hack I was telling you about. The Short Circuit one. Want to take a look?*
*Hmm, I don't know Toko, it's not really my style, you know?*
*Trust me, this one is good at disabling someone, especially someone chromed up for a much longer period of time than the off the shelf program. If someone with a bunch of chrome annoys you, you can hack them out, and leave them getting zapped on the floor for a good long while. It's preem.*
" Hmm, looks good Chibi Kohai. Considering the work you put in, what do you call it?"
" Oh, it's called the Taser Quickhack. For Reasons."
" Sure thing, chibi chan i'm going to field test this and i'll get back to you on how useful it is "
It started among the street gangs first. Word of a Short Circuit quickhack that could leave a whole crew spasming on the ground vomiting their XXL Burritos out in the span of seconds.
Like all rumors of such Super Quickhacks, they were easily dismissed as mere heresay and some ganggoon's attempt to make his failed robbery sound more impressive. But unlike the past, the rumor refused to die, with tales of it's victims escalating in number and soon it made the leap from rumor to fact when the News reported a Biotechnica Break-In that left all the security within it jittering on the floor till sedatives were brought to bear.
For something with such an effect, it was soon agreed that this Quickhack was no Short Circuit, no Short Circuit indeed! Yet the lack of identifying factor beyond the side-effect meant that it was hard to notice the Quickhack being used or the user for that matter...
However, soon a name started to spread. A name whispered in shadows and hitting the ears and lips of Gang goons throughout the city... A name learnt from hard experience via interacting with the Netrunner using the Quickhack. Interactions in the form of being struck repeatedly by said Netrunner until the magic words were spoken allowing the netrunner to depart with feline satisfaction.
And now you, Anton Eza find yourself confronted by the Netrunner in question. Your crew lie spasming on the ground as electricity burns their muscles and nerves to a crisp. Your only hope to survive is to choose the right dialogue to make the netrunner leave. Which would you pick:
A) Father, please! Help!
B) Don't Tase me Bro!
C) Blasting Off
