My life has never been significant. I quite liked being in the military, though someone like me would never be seen fighting, I'm not really the strong type. No, I prefer to put my time into... Intellectual challenges.
I don't really do the 'social scene'. It took me years of service as a military hacker and technician to get enough money to escape the expanding cities and find an older home which was as out-of-the-way as possible. The world is filled with technology and clinically sterilized buildings which just make me sick. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't survive without my personal consoles and terminals, but having to live with the sound of the air being filtered and the cold ventilation makes me feel like I'm living in a hospital. Out with the tech and in with the Victorian simulated furniture.
My days are spent indoors, checking out the latest conspiracies and keeping my own check on the global government, UNI. I've been doing it a long while so I know my way around the underground online networks. Since the military no longer needed me I have had nothing better to do, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I wouldn't... But the government is happy to do it for me. I am sure that I managed to remove any traces of all the viruses and keyloggers I used to get through the UNI security but apparently their security has gotten much better. I am now faced with a UNI letter which I'm not sure if I want to open. I don't have the energy to put up a fight if they want me arrested... Or... Worse. But I guess I have no choice, I'm just a computer hacker against the global UNI conglomeration. I won't even erase my consoles hacking software. In the end, what is the worse that they could do to a hermit with too much curiosity.
But then again, I almost got to fully read the secret project EDEN hidden deep in their archives, this government is certainly good at keeping things hidden. Next it will be me...
