As a young hacker, I left early for the BIG systems. The small ones
|
|
didn't last long enough. Soon I had nestled myself into some very big
|
|
systems and found that they were very much like the smaller ones.
|
|
I had to find a REALLY OUTRAGEOUS BIG system, to satisfy my needs...

__________________________________SEXY DAUGHTER________________________________
|
|
|
|
I was 15. The sun was shining and the grass was green. The neighbors'
|
|
sexy 21-year-old daughter, Marielle, licked the sun in a sunchair next to
|
|
their swimming pool and our dog "Phileas" chased butterflies. It was the first
|
|
day of summer in Charmington where I lived.
|
|
|
|
From my bedroom-window on the second floor, I had the best view in the
|
|
neighborhood. Marielle had a tight body-bikini, and I could see her lying
|
|
there, sweating, the sun licked her body from her head to her toes. I just
|
|
waited for the moment when she would unwrap her bikini, because of the heat,
|
|
and reveal those unreal breasts like she always did. This time though, it
|
|
didn't seem to happen...she was not on time...Well..I'll stick around a
|
|
couple of minutes more, I thought, and waited.
|
|
|
|
The birds sang, the sun burned, almost no wind and the town slept.
|
|
My mom and dad were visiting the grandparents and my sister was out with her
|
|
friends so this time would be perfect for Marielle to show me her beautiful
|
|
body, but nothing happened, and I wondered if she was sleeping...

CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER TWO
|
|
_____________________________SPINGLEMAN'S DILEMMA______________________________
|
|
|
|
"Special Computers Designed Here" said the sign by the mailbox. Steven
|
|
Spingleman talked on the phone with a Head Executive at GCEC, Government
|
|
Computer Engineers Center (see Appendix 1 for more on GCEC).
|
|
|
|
- That is not ethical to do, said Spingleman with a broken voice.
|
|
|
|
- Mr. Spingleman...Steve...This isn't my field. You must understand that I
|
|
am but a mere messenger. If I do not follow orders, I will loose my job.
|
|
If you have any objections to this project, you'll just have to talk to
|
|
my superiors. Here...you can call this number if you have any
|
|
trouble or questions.
|
|
|
|
Spingleman heard the man, known to him as Mr. Jensen, messing around
|
|
in the room, searching for something. Drawers were opened and closed again,
|
|
papers lifted and put down again. Finally he came back to the phone.
|
|
|
|
- Here it is! Ok, Steve...055-381-289662.
|
|
|
|
He said the numbers one and one once more to make sure Spingleman got
|
|
the number correct.
|
|
|
|
- This number goes directly to the GCE Experiment Center and there you'll
|
|
reach me and my superiors. Just DON'T show this number to anyone, Ok?
|
|
|
|
Spingleman thought for a while, and then he decided what to say.
|
|
|
|
- All right Mr. Jensen. I'll try, but I can't assure you that this will work.
|
|
This is a highly complicated computer you ask for and my experience with
|
|
these sort of projects are but none.
|
|
|
|
Spinglemans voice had become nothing but a whisper. It shivered when he
|
|
tried to make his way out of the project with a lie.
|
|
|
|
- Ah, come now, Mr. Spingleman. You know that we know all about you and that
|
|
these sorts of experiments is your speciality, or should I say, WERE your
|
|
speciality.
|
|
|
|
Steve Spingleman now realized that he had to go through with it, even
|
|
if it was unethical, unreal and very dangerous. If he hadn't..... No. That
|
|
was long ago, and he couldn't change the past. He hated GCEC and this Mr.
|
|
Jensen who leaved him with no alternative but to do this dirty work for him.
|
|
|
|
- Mr. Spingleman?
|
|
|
|
- Yes, I'm still here, said Spingleman. I understand your terms...
|
|
|
|
- Good. Let's hope that this project will float smoothly and that you'll
|
|
follow my advice. We don't want anything to happen, do we Mr. Spingleman?
|
|
No.. I didn't think so, Mr. Jensen said, answering his own question. We
|
|
will contact you if something comes up. Goodbye Mr. Spingleman.
|

CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER THREE
|
|
_________________________________DAYDREAMING___________________________________
|
|
|
|
Daydreaming...that was something for a troubled mind, and right now
|
|
my mind WAS troubled. Marielle DIDN'T unwrap her bikini! As a 15-year-
|
|
old boy, your mind will undoubtedly be on a constant lookout for girls and
|
|
sex. That is a fact, but the average teenager will never have such an oppor-
|
|
tunity as I had here with Marielle, so I was known as "The lucky one" among
|
|
my friends.
|
|
|
|
Suddenly something happened. Marielle started to move, and my eyes homed
|
|
in on my target. Now she sat up in the chair and looked around. Now
|
|
I recognize you, my mind said, and opened a memory-bank for storing what
|
|
was about to happen. She stood up....and went into the house!...
|
|
Memory Error, said my mind and closed the bank. Damn! What was she doing?!
|
|
I was ready to give up, and go back to my computer, when she came out again.
|
|
|
|
She had a sun-lotion bottle in her right hand, walking to the chair
|
|
again, but changed her mind at the last moment and walked to a table, which
|
|
stood just behind a tree, out of the view from my window. I ran to my sisters
|
|
room. The view from that window was better than mine, and a lot closer too.
|
|
|
|
She was exercising! Bending over, lifted a leg, made sit-ups and so on.
|
|
Fantastic! This was great! When she appeared to be finished, she opened the
|
|
sun-lotion bottle and started to rub it on her sun-tanned skin. Then it
|
|
happened, and my mind opened about 20 Megabyte for storage at the same time.
|
|
|
|
The bikini fell on the ground and I was in heaven. She rubbed the lotion
|
|
all over, and took her time doing it. I had the time of my life (consider my
|
|
age will you!). Soon she went back to the sun-chair and I went back to my
|
|
room and the window. Now she was lying there...with only a pair of small
|
|
bikini-trousers covering her fantastic body. If I just had some courage, I
|
|
thought, I would go down and talk to her.
|
|
|
|
- Hello!
|
|
|
|
The sound made me jump. My parents stood in the doorway to my room.
|
|
|
|
- How has your day been, son, said my father with his big smile.
|
|
|
|
- You should have been with us! We found two new flower-species so your
|
|
Grandfather now has thirty two different sorts. Isn't that fantastic, mother
|
|
said in a state of ecstasy.
|
|
|
|
- Fantastic, I muttered in an attempt to sound excited.
|
|
|
|
- Well, dinner's ready, said mother on her way out of my room. We bought fried
|
|
chicken at the Drive-in, so hurry before it gets cold.
|
|
|
|
To buy drive-in-food is like buying walked-in-shoes. You can wear both.
|
|

CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FOUR
|
|
_________________________________THE PROJECT___________________________________
|
|
|
|
Steve Spingleman jumped by a noise too. The "click" in his ear when Mr.
|
|
Jensen hung up. Boy, was he in trouble now! GCEC had ordered a very special
|
|
computer from him, because he was the best computer builder when it came to
|
|
specialities. This demanded his full attention and skill.
|
|
|
|
The other customers just had to wait...but for how long? This computer would
|
|
take at least 2 years to build even though he already had started on a proto-
|
|
type which he had hooked up with one of his own inventions, an XX EXPRESS
|
|
digital and optical modem. To have it "on-line", as a service to the customers,
|
|
whom, of course had very special wishes, were for test reasons only because of
|
|
the fact that nothing ever is perfect the first time. Every progress he made,
|
|
were added to the prototype for his customers to call-in, look at and try out.
|
|
|
|
His customers were not of the "normal" kind, if you can call people
|
|
normal these days. No, to mention some of his customers, there were the
|
|
State Department, ASA (American Space Agency), YMCA (Yugoslavian Micro
|
|
Computer Association), STATE (Soviet Tolerance Approval Technology Engineers)
|
|
and GCEC whom I presume you have heard about. All of them had their special
|
|
wants and needs, which Spingleman worked on. Now they had to wait.
|
|
|
|
Spingleman went over to his laboratory to collect the package he had
|
|
received from GCEC earlier this Friday. It contained the plans for the
|
|
computer and what they wanted it to do for them. The package was a 17 kilo
|
|
big box with the word "GOVERNMENT" scattered on all sides. He opened it.
|
|
|
|
4 Videocassettes on the HRTV-D (High Resolution TV - Digital) format
|
|
with digitally scanned maps of the computer. 2 DAT-C (Compact DAT) Cassettes
|
|
with information and the rest of the 17 kilos was encrypted, filled laboratory-
|
|
tubes and paper-discs, a new invention by himself and a big success on the
|
|
market. When there were no trees left anywhere, the World Crisis Federation
|
|
had called to order a new kind of paper, and he made the paper-discs. How they
|
|
looked like? How you used one? It's too complicated to understand, but if you
|
|
are a true knowledge-eater you can look in the dictionary at the end of this
|
|
book (Appendix 1).
|
|
|
|
He picked up all of it and put it on the big designer-table to study
|
|
the maps and read the discs when someone logged onto the his prototype
|
|
computer.
|
|

CHAPTER FIVE CHAPTER FIVE

|
_________________________________METROSPECTIVE_________________________________
|
|
|
|
I saw the text on my monitor.
|
|
|
|
"ACCESS DENIED"
|
|
"YOUR DIGITAL NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH"
|
|
|
|
Damn. This was one of the new XX EXPRESS modems which could spot the
|
|
number and place you called from and had special numbers for access. Well,
|
|
the hacker-underground had discussed these modems for a while now so I decided
|
|
to call the 'DRAGONFIRE 84' board to see how far the discussion had come.
|
|
|
|
Letters and more letters. It took me twenty minutes to answer all of them
|
|
and if you are a knowledgeable modem-user you know how long that is, when using
|
|
the automatic answerer! In the Hacker-conference there had finally been a
|
|
breakthrough and a new gear called METROSPECTIVE had been built for breaking
|
|
XX EXPRESS modem security systems. I talked to Mr. Farmhouse (the "dad" in the
|
|
area) and he promised to send one the same day.
|
|
|
|
I had all of the "pre-desolation" gear from boxes to programs written in
|
|
a long gone and "dead" language called Pascal. My friends in the hacker
|
|
community called me "The Collector" for obvious reasons. I was called a lot of
|
|
things back then. New gear and inventions had become standard those days and I
|
|
liked to try them out. The Metro (short for METROSPECTIVE) was brand new. I had
|
|
an XX EXPRESS number, so to try the Metro on it was a must for me. I didn't
|
|
have a clue to where I was calling and the unbelievable things that would
|
|
happen to me because of my curiosity.
|
|
|
|
_______________________________________________________________________________
|

CHAPTER SIX CHAPTER SIX
|
|
_________________________________DEADLY ERRORS_________________________________
|
|
|
|
Spingleman looked at the screen. Someone had called, but didn't have the
|
|
correct access to enter his system. He should have been worried about it, but
|
|
wasn't. Perhaps a "wrong-number" call. That was common these days with the
|
|
complex ISDNS telephone system.
|
|
|
|
When they introduced ISDN in the 1990's, it had been a step forward, but
|
|
the ISDNS (SONIC) had turned out to be a much too complex system for the
|
|
average user. No-one really knew the possibilities of the system because of
|
|
the inconvenient and strange deaths of the inventors. Actually, no-one knew
|
|
where they had gone! They just disappeared one by one, all of them good
|
|
friends to Spingleman, at the time he worked on the prototype.
|
|
|
|
Spingleman went back to his studies with a troubled mind. Tormented by
|
|
what he had remembered and the pictures of his friends still in his mind.
|
|
|
|
The digital maps on the video-board showed a complete build-up of the
|
|
computer GCEC had ordered. Any ordinary person who studied these maps would
|
|
have given up after approximately thirty seconds. The complexity of the maps
|
|
were total, but Spingleman just took a look at them and saw the errors at once.
|
|
This could not be what they wanted?, Spingleman thought for himself. These
|
|
errors were small but lethal. If he followed these maps, the computer would
|
|
have taken control over the system within 2 minutes after startup.
|
|
|
|
If he used two-headed merentors instead of one-headed ones.....
|
|
Spindleman started to re-draw the maps with the videoscan-pen, correcting
|
|
what he thought were errors, and he worked through the night.
|
|
|
|

CHAPTER SEVEN CHAPTER SEVEN
|
|
__________________________________TWO DATES____________________________________
|
|
|
|
I was roughly awakened by Phileas, licking my face. I looked at the alarm
|
|
clock, it said 11.45 am and I tried to go back to sleep. Suddenly I remembered
|
|
that I would receive the Metro today, and that the Electronic Package Service
|
|
closed 12.00 Sharp on Saturdays! I got out of bed and was ready to leave for
|
|
the EPS office six seconds later.
|
|
|
|
I stumbled up the stairs to the office, pushed the door and the clock
|
|
showed 12.00. Just in time! The package, at the size of a micro-stereo, had
|
|
arrived. On my way home I met my sister, Angelica, and her friends who were
|
|
working on a beach-party, due the same night next to our house.
|
|
|
|
- Hi bro', Angelica said, goin' to our party tonite? Megan wants to see you,
|
|
you know...
|
|
|
|
Angelica had gotten her accent from her surf-friends who lived on the beach
|
|
and whom she almost lived with. Megan was one of her friends who (if I may
|
|
say so) had had a crush on me for the last few weeks. Though she was one of
|
|
the most beautiful girls I had ever seen, I had never gotten the chance to
|
|
talk to her alone so this could be the perfect opportunity.
|
|
|
|
- I'll think about it, I said.
|
|
|
|
Angelica sat her elbow in my side and went back to her friends with a
|
|
smile on her face. Walking towards the house, I saw Angelica talking to
|
|
Megan, and I got nervous.
|
|
|
|
Later that day I connected the Metro to one of the expansion-slots of my
|
|
computer to try it out. Just when I was going to start it the phone rang.
|
|
I pressed the "off hook" button and heard....
|
|
|
|
- The Fourth world war has started.

CHAPTER EIGHT CHAPTER EIGHT
|
|
__________________________________J.C. HARRIS__________________________________
|
|
|
|
J.C. Harris was one of the two new-hired engineers at GCEC. His record had
|
|
been spotless and his skills on computer-design couldn't be measured. That is
|
|
to say that he was one of the best in the country. Right now though, he was
|
|
sitting in an office, waiting for a man known to him as Mr. Jensen, and an
|
|
assignment.
|
|
|
|
His thoughts wandered to the time when he was a young enthusiast and
|
|
didn't have any problems to handle. He had been the best in his class and had
|
|
finished all courses he attended with top grades without any attempts to study.
|
|
Nowadays the schools had made efforts in computer-security, and the hackers
|
|
efforts in breaking it, but he knew that they couldn't break it. A smile swept
|
|
over his face when he thought of his "unbreakable" system.
|
|
|
|
Thirty hours. He tasted the two words once more, just to make it under-
|
|
standable to himself. Thirty HOURS! That was too unbelievable even to himself.
|
|
The computer system then, had been quite simple he remembered, but THIRTY
|
|
hours?! He had broken the security-name in just two seconds by looking in the
|
|
principal secretary's big black book once when he was left alone in her room.
|
|
But the password had been a big barrier. No "usual" password had worked and
|
|
nothing you ordinary would try, like the name of their dog, children or mother-
|
|
in-Law either.
|
|
|
|
Noriegamodular5. When he entered that and it worked, he didn't believe his
|
|
eyes. The Sonic planet Noriegamodular5, named after a dictator in central-
|
|
America in the 20th century, had been the home-planet of the secretary's little
|
|
pet, the grywlow. What a password that was. Phew.. and it took him thirty hours
|
|
to figure that out. With the "live" programs of today, that password would have
|
|
been halfway to the 99th moon of Trolarian by now. Known to everyone.
|
|
|
|
Fifty five seconds later "Mr. Jensen" arrived in his black Mercedes 995 COEC
|
|
(Computer Oriented Electric Car). He carried the black suitcase in a steady
|
|
grip. His black suit and gloves were made by the JJJ company, the most ex-
|
|
pensive designer of clothes, known to be untappable and never torn. The security
|
|
system accepted his C-AXS card and opened the big, armed doors revealing a
|
|
man, standing, waiting for him. "Mr. Jensen" signaled to the man, who of course
|
|
was Harris, to come with him into his office. When Harris had closed the door
|
|
behind him, seven guards grabbed him and carried him into a circular shield
|
|
and left him there.
|

|
_______________________________FOURTH WORLD WAR?_______________________________
|
|
|
|
"Hi Kev", the voice said.
|
|
|
|
"Christ, Matthew, You scared the hell out of me, you know!"
|
|
|
|
"I know", Matthew said laughing.
|
|
|
|
Since the computer at WCC (World Computer Center) went crazy because
|
|
of our 'hacks' and tried to start the Fourth World War, I hadn't been that
|
|
active in the hacker-community, but now with a new invention, the Metro,
|
|
I couldn't stay out.
|
|
|
|
"I saw that you had been on the DRAGONFIRE yesterday, and that the 'Old
|
|
Man', ehrm.. Farmhouse, had supplied you with the Metro, and as usual,
|
|
when You find a new invention, you have a place to try it on, right?"
|
|
|
|
It was no secret that I tried most of the new stuff for the rest of the
|
|
hackers, because of my knowledge (modest remark), and that I usually had more
|
|
places to hack on, than the rest of them, but I never leaked! They knew that,
|
|
but they didn't give up either...
|
|
|
|
"Yes, I have a place to try it on, but I can't let you in on it as you
|
|
probably already have guessed as usual, Matthew."
|
|
|
|
"Ah, come on Kev", Matthew said in a beggar's voice, "You know that I
|
|
never, and I mean NEVER spread anything I get from you, don't you?"
|
|
|
|
"Yes I know......", I said, and tried to continue.
|
|
|
|
"...So, what's the problem, Kev?"
|
|
|
|
"I haven't tried it yet! I just got the damn thing you know, and I would
|
|
have tried it, but you called and interrupted me!", I said.
|
|
|
|
"Yeah?", Matthew said. "You'll let me in on it later then, right?"
|
|
|
|
"Sure", I said, trying to get him off the line. "I'll let you in on it
|
|
later, okay?"
|
|
|
|
"Ok, fine! I knew you wouldn't forget your old pal! I call you tomorrow
|
|
and then we can talk, ok?"
|
|
|
|
"Bye Matthew", I said and hung up the phone.
|
|
|
|
Jeez! Matthew really was my best friend and pal, but he always wanted to
|
|
know and learn everything. I don't say that that is bad, quite the opposite
|
|
really, but he had his ways in getting the knowledge he wanted that I didn't
|
|
like. Once he bribed a guard at the court-house down town, for letting him
|
|
in when it was past open-time, just to check out a State vs State case he
|
|
needed for his homework.
|
|
|
|
(See appendix 4 for an interesting report on the case.)

_________________________SPINGLEMAN'S SECOND DILEMMA___________________________
|
|
|
|
"Steven Thomas Spingleman?", said the voice.
|
|
|
|
"Yes, that is my name.", said Spingleman to the voice on the phone.
|
|
|
|
"I'm sorry" said the voice, "Let me introduce myself. Joe Galibrero,
|
|
WSA engineer, clearance code 1273482-2371. We have a little problem
|
|
down here, and you were the only one we could think of calling for
|
|
This kind of problem."
|
|
|
|
"Spingleman, 881212C-E126.", Spingleman said.
|
|
"What is your problem, Galibrero?"
|
|
|
|
"I can't tell you over the phone, but one of our cars will pick
|
|
you up in about.. 2 minutes. This is classified as 2xtop secret
|
|
and will release you from all your current projects, no matter
|
|
what clearance, importance or status they have, this is more
|
|
important. You have clearance 981-127-12UC for this one Steven."
|
|
|
|
Spingleman understood the importance immediately. UC! That meant
|
|
it was an Universal Crisis. He entered the code into his personal
|
|
security system, and got the message:
|
|
|
|
-- --
|
|
World Space Association, CODE 981-127-12UC. - TOP PRIORITY -
|
|
Universal Clearance: 127
|
|
Universal Crisis : 12
|
|
-- --
|
|
|
|
The Universal Clearance code 127 meant it topped all other codes by 1.
|
|
(Highest code known was 126), but the Universal Crisis code 12 was new
|
|
to Spingleman. He didn't know what that meant.
|
|
|
|
"Ok, I'm ready.", said Spingleman as he hung up.
|
|
|
|
He was just closing his safe, where he had placed all of the plans for
|
|
the GCEC project, when the car arrived. Spingleman closed the front-
|
|
door behind him, made sure it was locked, and got into the car.
|
|
|
|
Five minutes later he was on a plane, without knowing its destination.

APPENDIX 1: NAMES AND EXPLANATIONS. Vol.1 Version 1
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ASA - AMERICAN SPACE AGENCY
|
|
|
|
The American Space Agency was a branch of the CIA and still is.
|
|
Instead of working all over the world it works only on Tellus.
|
|
After the Sphericals attempt to take Saturn from the Jupitans ,
|
|
each planet had their own Space Agency for preventing this sort
|
|
of crime. Like Interpol in the ancient Europe you might say.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C-AXS CARD - COMPACT ACCESS CARD
|
|
|
|
The old access and credit cards were unsafe because they were so
|
|
easy to copy and use, so the WCF invented the Compact Access Card
|
|
which had a personal coder built into it, so each time you touched
|
|
the card, it felt your temperature, and read your fingerprints, which
|
|
was stored into the card. If the temperature and fingerprints didn't
|
|
match, the card information was transferred to the WCC for checkup
|
|
and the card was useless. If it didn't find any temperature and/or
|
|
fingerprints, the card information was transferred to the WCC for
|
|
checkup and the card was useless. (The only time a card cannot find
|
|
the temperature and/or fingerprints is when the person who holds the
|
|
card has JJJ gloves on his/her hands.) (See JJJ for more information.)
|
|
|
|
The WCC checked the information they received and located a match
|
|
with the information in the ASA Computer to get the identity of the
|
|
person that had hold the card, and made investigations on that person.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
COEC - COMPUTER ORIENTED ELECTRIC CAR
|
|
|
|
A car that was computer oriented by electric lines added to the
|
|
metal-sides of the roads. Still used in smaller towns on Jupiter-1.
|
|
You entered the town/city you were in, and the destination. The
|
|
computer would then access the road-computer and get the map over
|
|
the town, which was updated every time something happened to the
|
|
road-network (every second or so), worked out the fastest way and
|
|
took you to your destination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DAT-C - COMPACT DAT CASSETTES * NEVER TO BE RELEASED *
|
|
|
|
Dat cassettes were believed dead, when the industry itself held
|
|
on the design, to prevent illegal copying, and distribution of
|
|
'perfect' copies. When they finally gave up, and released the DAT
|
|
players, the prices killed the sales, so they lowered their prices
|
|
to ordinary Compact Disc player prices, and the sales took a high
|
|
jump. Soon the market was filled with 'perfect' copies of everything.
|
|
The industry stopped the production of new DAT-players but the market
|
|
didn't halt. A 'brilliant' idea of an Engineer at WCF, was to build a
|
|
Compact Dat player with digital overlays that would stop the illegal
|
|
copying and sell it as any ordinary DAT player, without a word about
|
|
the digital overlays, only that it was 'THE BEST' DAT player ever.
|
|
The customer could trade-in their 'old' DAT player to the new one
|
|
without paying anything in-between, and all of them did! The plan
|
|
worked, and the market of illegal copies came to an end.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EPS - ELECTRONIC PACKAGE SERVICE
|
|
|
|
To get rid of the time-spending mail-service the EPS was formed.
|
|
People got tired of the laziness of the service and that even the
|
|
so called 'special service' or 'we will get your mail to the
|
|
destination overnight' - service didn't work. The EPS worked in
|
|
an electronic environment, and the mail was sent with transfer beams.
|
|
You probably have seen the old 'Star Trek' films on the 'remember
|
|
this?' channel, and the beam that they used. The work on such a beam
|
|
was improved when the new Designer's Computer was invented and the
|
|
transfer beam became reality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GCEC - GOVERNMENT COMPUTER ENGINEERS CENTER
|
|
|
|
The GCEC worked (at the time) close to all research companies in the
|
|
country. They had a special 'deal' with the leading companies in
|
|
computer technology, to get the best and most reliable computers for
|
|
them, and the cost didn't matter. When they had given one of the
|
|
companies the latest in computer tech, of course there were five new and
|
|
better ones the next day, so they were never out of work.
|
|
|
|
The engineers working at GCEC were those who had gone through life
|
|
with a computer, and the highest grades from the private schools.
|
|
The Executives had different backgrounds. Several of them had their own
|
|
money, but there were some, who had special interests in the company,
|
|
who used the company to get what they wanted, like in any ordinary
|
|
company today.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GCEEC - GOVERNMENT COMPUTER ENGINEERS EXPERIMENT CENTER
|
|
|
|
The GCEEC was where the GC Engineers experimented with prototypes and
|
|
other equipment that demanded vacuum rooms, explosion-safe rooms, fire-
|
|
safe rooms, bug-free rooms and a big workshop hall with all the latest
|
|
equipment you could think of back then. If you are a film-freak you
|
|
probably have seen the ancient James Bond films, and a guy called Q who
|
|
had the job to invent new inventions for the secret agent, James Bond.
|
|
That looked like the workshop hall, but with a neat 1523200 m^2 instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HRTV-D - HIGH RESOLUTION TV - DIGITAL
|
|
|
|
The advancement in Television technology in the mid 10's made almost
|
|
all new constructions old in a minute or so, so the WCF decided on a
|
|
last design, that would be world-standard: The HRTV-D. All major
|
|
companies worked together to make this special and last TV. The most
|
|
surprising fact, is that it didn't cost anything. To beat competition
|
|
(which of course still existed) they installed one in every home for
|
|
free. The only thing a viewer would pay, was the licence to the World-
|
|
Net, the Only Tv-Station which had about 5193 different channels and
|
|
was the only one that covered the Outer regions of Crystal Beta.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ISDN/ISDNS - THE COMMUNICATION REVOLUTION
|
|
|
|
ISDN was the invention of the 1980-1990's. It revolutionized
|
|
everything in communications. You were able to send data, speak,
|
|
send messages, view TV, listen to the radio (and so on) with up
|
|
to 256 people/stations at the same time, with One optical cable.
|
|
The only problem with this system, was the Home Equipment you had
|
|
to have to use it. Every person connected to the ISDN system had
|
|
to have an own switch (26x23m), and a control panel, maximum size
|
|
in his/her/its own home. Therefor, the ISDNS system was invented.
|
|
The extra 'S' stands for Sonic, which don't stand for anything
|
|
except a total destruction of the planet it was placed onto.
|
|
It was so fragile for everything else, that it was placed onto
|
|
a planet in the most remote part of the universe. The planet
|
|
was The most silent, and The most unfriendly planet ever to have
|
|
been found. No-one ever wanted to go there, except once.
|
|
A 14-year old kid, called 'Warez d00d', decided to go there,
|
|
just to look at it, and see if he could get some k-rad, awesome,
|
|
k00l games, that he didn't already have, from it. When his ship
|
|
landed, he immediately started to speak to it.
|
|
|
|
"Do you have....?" "Have you seen....?" "k-k00l, d00dz!!!"
|
|
|
|
(..and so on). The ISDNS accessed its internal megaton-bombs
|
|
after two seconds, and blew up the whole planet. Everything
|
|
was destroyed (including the little 'Warez d00d' except for the
|
|
ISDNS itself, because as you know, it can stand a total destruction
|
|
of the planet it was placed onto. After that, the 'Warez d00d' race
|
|
died out, and was never to be reborn. Later it was said that about
|
|
200.000.000.000.002 Hackers had had a party the same night/day/
|
|
afternoon (in twentysixthousand galaxies) to celebrate what had
|
|
happened.

|
|
JJJ COMPANY - JONSON JONSON & JONSON COMANY
|
|
|
|
Only The most chic designers, and The most expensive company.
|
|
Johnson, Johnson & Johnson were three brothers. One of them
|
|
was a cybernoid, the second was a milk bottle, and the third
|
|
had to go to the bathroom. This of course caused many questions.
|
|
|
|
'Why did Mr. Johnson have to go to the bathroom?' and
|
|
'Did Mr. Johnson really have straight A's when he left the academy?'.
|
|
|
|
These questions are easily answered, with only one word.
|
|
Damn! Spilled my coffee. Alright, where was I, oh right, Mr Johnson.
|
|
Well, after a few internal wars, between the three of them, they
|
|
looked like, frankly speaking, shit! So, they decided to start
|
|
a clothes company, that made clothes that actually Would stand
|
|
a nuclear attack, and still get you into your favorite restaurant
|
|
afterwards, without being rejected by the butler because you
|
|
weren't dressed for the occasion. They succeeded, and became world-
|
|
famous overnight. Not for their clothes, but for their prices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
M278-EIL - SPECIAL CRIME DEPARTMENT STANDARD EQUIPMENT 61
|
|
|
|
The EIL is known as The most trusted Detector of all detectors.
|
|
It detects a body's temperature, from the heir to the toenails.
|
|
(if the body has these features, that is.)
|
|
Mostly used built-in in officer helmets, to recognize a suspect's
|
|
temperature, when questioned. If the body temperature all together
|
|
reach above the standard limit of 38.57827382 degrees celsius
|
|
the person told a lie. Notable: This detector has a record of
|
|
malfunctions. 99% of the malfunctions occurred when questioning
|
|
Government employees. The last % occurred when a small creature
|
|
from the planet AlLIEd-with-all didn't lie for the first time
|
|
in its life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
METRO - METROSPECTIVE INVENTION
|
|
|
|
TOO COMPLEX TO DESCRIBE. Size 5x3x2 (cm). Black. Inserted into the
|
|
Hacker-computer's Com-11 port. Faked location and phone number to
|
|
con the XX MISSILE Modem. Now added: Fake fingerprints and eye-
|
|
recognitions possible for use 'at location'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PAPER-DISC - THE INVENTION THAT SAVED THE WORLD
|
|
|
|
The paper disc looked like any ordinary 1.5" disc you would use
|
|
with your computer, the only difference was the material it was
|
|
made of. The 'un-usable' material that the planet Voltar had been
|
|
filled with (jeromium). Because of the massive slaughter of trees
|
|
and the fact that Tellus couldn't live without them, the WCF ordered
|
|
a new kind of paper from all known inventors. Steve Thomas Spingleman
|
|
had worked on a new invention on his 'spare-time' that could be what
|
|
the world needed, the Paper-Disc. He presented it to the WCF and they
|
|
bought it. The only disadvantage was that the WCF got all the credit
|
|
for it, and Spingleman had to be satisfied with the money he got and
|
|
the own satisfaction of knowing that he was the one who came up with
|
|
the idea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PDP - PAPER DISC PLAYER, A WORLD CRISIS FEDERATION INVENTION
|
|
|
|
The Paper-Disc Player (PDP) had been invented after the invention of
|
|
the Paper-Disc. It was generally called a "Video Board" because it
|
|
really was a big screen, designed to take input from a video-pen or
|
|
the keyboard, and output only to the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STATE - THE SOVIET TOLERANCE APPROVAL TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERS
|
|
|
|
The STATE is quite undocumented, and I couldn't find any records that
|
|
said it even had existed. Because of the Soviet Union break-up, all that
|
|
was left of Soviet was a small province in the northern Ukraina range
|
|
and there were never anything indicating that they had industries.
|
|
Probably a fake company of GCEC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
T&F - TEMPERATURE AND FINGERPRINTS
|
|
|
|
The scientists of the 'lost' world didn't realize that the temperature
|
|
and the fingerprints of a person could be matched to a unique
|
|
identifier, unique to each person, but the 21th century scientists did.
|
|
This improved security systems and became world-standard as identifier.
|
|
The ASA had and still has, complete records of each individuals identi-
|
|
fiers and is constantly used by the WCC and other similar security
|
|
companies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WCC - THE WORLD COMPUTER CENTER
|
|
|
|
In short, the largest Computer-based, Computer-controlled and
|
|
Computer-run security/standards company. No employees are human,
|
|
because of the security risk they are in themselves. The company
|
|
is run by the WCF, which may seem as a contradiction in terms,
|
|
but is in fact, run by the WCF Main Computer Complex when checked
|
|
deeper down the standard information-channels. Because of the
|
|
massive amount of power the WCF sat on, no-one trusted them,
|
|
and therefor it seemed like the best idea to have the whole show
|
|
run by a computer, which was run by another, and another, and ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WCF - THE WORLD CRISIS FEDERATION
|
|
|
|
The World Crisis Federation was formed during the Third World War.
|
|
The UN (last active in the 20th century) had started the war over
|
|
never-paid loans and too much difference in opinions.
|
|
The WCF was formed when Tellus was contacted by other life-forms
|
|
during the Third World War, and became a major force in keeping
|
|
law and order and preventing wars. All decisions were made according
|
|
to the World's best, and not as in the UN, according to country.
|
|
This made the WCF accepted as The Judge in world crisis situations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WSA - WORLD SPACE ASSOCIATION
|
|
|
|
The coordinator of all different Space Agencies. The WSA controlled
|
|
everything in space but nothing on its planets. Each planet had a
|
|
WSA center, always placed where there were the best optical view of
|
|
each planet's own galaxy. For instance, on Tellus, the WSA center
|
|
was placed on an Island called Lunai, not far away from Hawaii.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
XX EXPRESS MODEM - THE MODEM OF THE YEAR 2190
|
|
|
|
The XX EXPRESS Modem was an invention by the Computer constructor and
|
|
designer Steven Thomas Spingleman in the year 2189. The new extras added
|
|
to this modem was the total ISDNS compability (see ISDN and ISDNS).
|
|
This made the XX EXPRESS modem one of the world's most complicated
|
|
modems. It won the "Modem of the year" contest 2190. The judges words:
|
|
|
|
"The most beautiful modem this decade..." - H.Wilson, Daily Orbit.
|
|
|
|
"Works great.." "A good lookin' modem..." - J.Patrick, Modem Today.
|
|
|
|
"Genuine Artwork by the master himself..." - U.Grexz, Uranus Science.
|
|
|
|
The features of the modem and the ISDNS system made several changes to
|
|
the Hackers way of working. The ISDNS system is shortly described under
|
|
"ISDNS - Phone system of the future". The modem had Signal processing
|
|
features that made the modem "Smarter than You".
|
|
|
|
It recognized where the caller called from with the 5th ISDNS line
|
|
(loc.line) and displayed it if the owner wanted it.
|
|
|
|
It recognized the phone-number with the 6th ISDNS line (phn.num) and
|
|
displayed it if the owner wanted it.
|
|
|
|
It had a "fingerprint and eye-structure" checker installed for usage
|
|
'on location' as a security system.
|
|
|
|
It had a 2086 processor with over 5*10^236 bytes storage space, if the
|
|
owner wanted to use it as a storage device.
|
|
|
|
In short, It was a computer itself. If I were to describe all functions
|
|
it would take up the whole section, so I recommend that you try to find
|
|
the paper-disc manual and a paper-disc player at your local pawn-shop
|
|
if you want to know more about it.
|
|

XY EXPRESS MODEM - THE NEW VERSION 2270
|
|
|
|
NO RECORDS ON THIS MODEL AT THIS TIME. GOVERNMENT SECURITY.

|
|
|
|
|
|
YMCA - THE YUGOSLAVIAN MICRO COMPUTER ASSOCIATION
|
|
|
|
This was Europe's computer industry leader. They handled all
|
|
of Europe's computer trade and worked close with GCEC on design and
|
|
inventions of new equipment and peripherals. When the Soviet Union
|
|
broke up, all of the Eastern countries became free, and the Yugoslavian
|
|
people saw their chance to take the computer market, because of their
|
|
knowledge in the field, and took it. Of course with the help of GCEC
|
|
and their money. Five years later, 2005, the European computer industry
|
|
couldn't compete with the YMCA and were bought up by GCEC and YMCA.

Subject: Missing Engineers
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special Crime Department report no sign of the missing engineers, as
|
|
filed by Dr Steven Thomas Spingleman, 2126 South Rodeo Drive, 1271-C
|
|
Inventown. The investigation ends with Dr Spingleman himself, as the
|
|
last person to see these men alive. The GCEC also reported them
|
|
missing, two days after Dr Spingleman.
|
|
|
|
We have no reason to believe they are dead, and no reason to believe
|
|
that they are alive. The only lead we have today, is Dr Spingleman,
|
|
GCEC and possibly the ISDNS system which they built.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When stated officers questioned a Mr Jennings, Project Manager
|
|
at GCEC, 8921 Caluha Offshore, 7892-Z Inventown, we got a
|
|
clear signal from the heat sensors on the M278-EIL. Probably
|
|
a malfunction.
