[The comm tag reads Stormer and is untraceable.]

Someone asked me recently how I'd define moral and immoral, but I think my perspective's a little skewed. How do you define it?

I need to ask you for a favor. Do they have you listed as an adult here? I wasn't sure what your official age would be.

I think I have your software finished. I can send you the file to download and you can check if it needs troubleshooting.

At first I was just teaching him how to do DNA wiring so he could do things on the micron scale instead of nano scale, but we had a few ideas.

I read about that. Do you know anything about it that wasn't public on the network?

Whatever you come up with is going to be very interesting, I'm sure.

It was caused by Hornets attempting to spread some kind of virus to the imPort population, but that was just conjecture. I don't know if it was confirmed. The affected imPorts were made more violent and destructive, which manifested in different ways, but you've likely read about that already...the data smearing was an attempt to 'prove' that imPorts were dangerous or otherwise unfit for combat due to past trauma, and needed total control to be managed.

That got quite a few people angry.

It was a mess. I don't know why they'd have thought the government would listen to that-- they have files on all of us already. They know how dangerous everyone is. If they intended us to be managed further they'd have done it already.

As an incendiary tactic, though, it was effective at uniting everyone to finally take out the Hornets.

Their intention was to release the information to the general public, I believe. A fine way to get mobs on your hands. But the Hornet who was responsible seemed to have been wavering in their beliefs, so who can tell what they thought they were doing.

It certainly succeeded in getting everyone angry! A few friendships got a little broken up, I saw. [ Not his problem tho. ]

Just because you're wavering doesn't mean you're willing to act against them. It's all useless speculation at this point, though.

That's not difficult to do. Sowing discord is one of the easiest things to pull off but it's not as useful as you might think. It's hard to direct. There's always unanticipated outcomes.
