The President’s Plan

Mike tried to focus on the matter in hand. He forwarded a summary of the last file to Magnus. There were two Doctor Pierces, they were identical twins. That seemed to explain quite a bit. The man appeared to be everywhere, after all. But they were much more than ordinary twins. Like Dan and Nat, the Pierces were hybrids. That could be good or bad, he wasn’t sure yet.

Mike reconsidered the circulation of the memo to only Magnus – he wondered if Xiang might find the information useful too. He copied her in, highlights only. If there were more hybrids like Dan and Nat it could help her to solve their current problem.

Mike was massively conflicted – he was learning things here that were explosive. He had direct access to inter-governmental secrets of the highest order. If he’d been under any less time pressure, he’d have quite happily sat there for days just reading all this stuff. But he was scanning – and he had to do so at extreme speed. There was no time to dwell on anything, he needed to read, assimilate and move on.

He and his team were sifting through clues which dated back many years. They were hoping to find a fragment which might help them to move forward against the constant threat of troopers launching their final assault on the bunker. It would surely come, it was only a matter of time. He had to get through as much of this data as he could before that happened – before they got trapped in the shoot-out that was heading their way.

Mike nearly skipped a file, thinking it was of no importance, but he jumped back. Its presence there jarred. He’d been a toddler when Ronald Reagan had announced his Star Wars defence programme, but as a teenager and a hacker it had been on his radar because it had moved into hacking folklore. If you could find the Global Defence Matrix and leave the government a little message? Well, that was the Holy Grail for the hacking community. However, nobody ever managed to find a trace of it. In fact, many hackers dismissed the project as propaganda, suspecting that the United States was using it as a tool to worry their political enemies. That was the only reason Mike returned to the file. He was curious. What was it doing there if the defence strategy was just a fiction created by an American president? He scanned the files – it was like a potted history of a famous project. He could see how it had been started by Reagan, renamed by Clinton, then mysteriously disappeared under Bush. During Bush’s first term it had become a Global Consortium matter, taken out of the President’s hands.

That must have been some decision to take. To think that all this stuff was going on and nobody knew. Everybody was blaming Bush for the Gulf War, while really there were far more sinister things going on right under their noses.
