Chapter Eleven

Five a.m. was the best time for a break-in. It worked in asymmetrical warfare. American Indians had attacked during the gray early hours, and just about any guerrilla force in the world knew to attack when the enemy was at their groggiest. Five o’clock was two hours from the end of Sentinel Tech’s night shift. Two hours before the morning shift arrived. Some would be bleary-eyed, fresh from a night of too little sleep and keyed up on too much caffeine. Others would be trying to stay awake until the end of a long and sunless shift. Either way, Cyke knew from guard duty out in the field that it was really hard to give a fuck at five in the morning.

Getting in was easy, at least for the likes of him. Their perimeter security was suspiciously hackable. It almost made him think they wanted breakers to get inside. Especially since he knew how hard getting out would be.

Inside the building, security was tighter. They’d locked down the ventilation shafts he’d used to reach the server room on his last wet run, but they still counted too much on mechanical surveillance at floor and eye level in the hallways. Which meant their biggest weakness now was the massive trays of data cables crisscrossing their high ceilings and interstitials. They didn’t expect anyone to walk on cables suspended four yards high, so nobody ever looked up. In fairness, nobody expected a tightrope walker, either, or someone who could see the IR tripwires snaking around them.

He supposed it also didn’t hurt that he could generate a dynamic distortion field. Most thieves just disabled the cameras. He also scattered his body heat and EM field.

A long, slow series of cable crawls and climbs at last brought him to the server room door.

Breaking this one was easy; he pulled up hacked employee records on his cheat chip, snagged the retinal pattern for the senior IT analyst whose computer he’d tapped last night and fed the data to his mech eye. A sub-audible whir, a flash of pain, and he was pressing his newly imprinted eye to the retinal scanner. The door opened like magic.

To the server cage next. He plugged a cable into his skull port and clipped the leads on the other end to the cage lock. They’d changed the encryption, which he’d recommended, and added a couple layers of complexity. Still doable, though. He had the door open in forty-seven seconds, and even programmed it not to report itself as open along the way.

He slid into the cage and leaned against one of the black server racks, which were bristling with more wires and cables than an ICU patient. Despite the industrial chillers blasting through the room, he could feel the heat pouring off the machinery.

He cut a hole into his shirt above his biceps, freed the thin fiber-optic cable from the low-tech Band-Aid sticking to his skin, and pulled it through the cut in the fabric. That cable he connected to the thicker main cable jacked into his platform chip.
