voice; rerouted to the community

[majorhacker]

Alright, are you happy now, SHODAN or whoever's in charge of the community now? I'm posting to my account while we test new recruits, see if that will keep you from opening the browser on me at random. There's just this one last team tracking me since I shook off the others. If this is the quality we're getting... hmph.

...So how long should I wait until I start panicking about the giant error signs?

This wasn't supposed to go to the main community. It was a sudden disconnection on my end.

((strike = not there))

[stripping]

Oh, you're fine. Does that happen often?

[majorhacker]

No. I'm surprised it even happened in the first place.

[stripping]

It's the community. Everything happens.

[majorhacker]

The disconnect occurred on my end, there's no sign that the community had a hand in it. Not like the redirection of my post. It shouldn't have happened.

[stripping]

If you say so. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand, but you know better than I do how disconnects work.

[majorhacker]

I couldn't be more sure, but then it creates several new questions. What was the true cause? Why did it happen in the first place? How was such a hack even possible? I'll be looking for my answers the next day I have off from work.

...I'm suddenly glad that the worst of my technological woes is wondering whether or not someone can get into my locks.

[majorhacker]

If only that were everyone's technological woes.

The life of a monk doesn't involve many.
