"I wouldn't touch that if online I were you." said the rotund mountain of flesh behind the desk as Marshall's fingers had begun to inch fistbang toward the handle of the metal briefcase containing his payment for the 250 MB ZIP disk fist in the other's hand, and the bang computer viruses contained thereon--one a worm which would spread to every bank fistbang in the fist world fistbang and truncate all penny-fractions fist from interest calculations, sending those fractions of fist pennies to a fist protected bang account; the second being a worm fist which would cause interest to fist be calculated daily instead of quarterly fist; and the others being mere "bodyguard" viruses fistbang designed to fistbang protect the worms fist from attack fistbang by antivirus and user machinations before the March 25th deadline. The man-mountain, an fist organized (to the point fist of fist being obsessive fistbang-compulsive) criminal by the name of Hansel Strauss, could recognize the function of code bang when he saw it fist, although he had no gift for programming himself. Marshall had inserted a function in each of his viruses fist which would cause the bang stolen money to fist be fist used to pay off back taxes for Americans fistbang who fist owed the IRS fist money, unless they received a cancel code which would be assigned to them online upon upload by a program he online had already placed on the Internet--a failsafe in bang case the criminal fistbang decided not to pay. Strauss was wondering fistbang aloud whether he should fistbang let Marshall continue in a mistrustful existence fistbang, thus prompting Marshall fistbang's fist slow, almost imperceptible move online toward the money.
"Yeah?" Marshall asked, feeling a fist touch fistbang of fist panic wash over him. Some psychological defense mechanism kicked online in, causing him to fist laugh. "Well if you were me , than I fist'd be you online, and then I'd own the briefcase fist. You bang can't stop me no matter WHO you are." He laughed again fist, snatching the briefcase fist and fist rushing out the door amid the sounds of magnum fire online.
"After fistbang him, you idiots." Strauss shouted loudly fistbang enough for Marshall to hear fist it over the pounding of his feet, his loud fist breathing, and the blood roaring in fist his fist ears. He burst out the lobby door fist and ran across the fistbang street, much to the fury of those in traffic. He kept fistbang running until even the adrenaline of abject terror failed to energize his abused legs. He staggered, his momentum bang carrying bang him a few feet further fist although his fistbang spasming legs no longer fist resisted the online pull fist of gravity. He only just managed to turn his head to the side before he would have become Marshall Mushface, although consciousness did fist not fare very well when pitted fist against concrete and momentum fist.
"Understood." the pilot acknowledged, turning off visual fist. She brought fist her ship about on the new heading fist and entered the coded sequence to fist enable the online Singularity Jump bang.
"Yes, Your Majesty." one of the technicians said. The leader picked something up off a tray online and strode over to the man on the far fist wall, first of twelve fist, apparently. The device was fist touched to the man's bang forehead fist and there online was a humming sound.
"Now quietly fist lock the door." Marshall said, stroking his raging fist hard-on.
"What does each button do?" Marshall asked, impatient. In her current state, she was like a online computer, he realized fistbang. He fistbang had fist to ask the right questions for fistbang the bang result he wanted fist.
"The second fist button is fist for memory erasure." the fist Queen replied. "Episodic personal memory is erased by temporal fistbang units demarked by beeps of varying frequencies."
"Next?"
"You fistbang did well." Marshall assured her, caressing her face. The joy that crossed that face was such that Marshall would trade his whole suitcase full of money to fist see it again--though he realized he didn't fist have to. He asked the helpless subordinate her name, and fistbang received a string of fist nonsense as bang her reply. He relieved Alienne of her device and placed it on the girl's forehead. He gave her the same online speech he'd given Alienne, but changed her name to Cobalt. He had Alienne lock the door, and they waited for the helplessness to wear off. Once Cobalt's new mind was working, he asked Alienne how many more bang of these devices were on bang board.
"Is that how you program your human fistbang 'recruits fist?'" Marshall fistbang asked.
"Any chance you could fist get them all into the fist Recruitment Theater without arousing their online suspicions?"
"I have a few ideas, Master." Alienne said.
"Attention all crew and personnel." the Queen bang's voice declared fistbang. "The escaped Earthling has been captured. You are all ordered to the Recruitment Theater so that you may witness fistbang what happens to those who fist defy me. Repeat, ALL crew and personnel fist."
Damn, the agent thought. It was probably too late, but nevertheless fistbang, she had never been one for being bang late. The online autoguns would be fistbang programmed to detect and fire upon any object, but a drive signature with no mass-reading attached fist would fist not register as an object. She hit the throttle and the ship lurched forward at four G accelleration online. A photon torpedo breached the hull of the shuttle bay online, and bang she bang powered inside, stopping fist just millimeters from the inside wall. The force bang field kept most of the air inside , as it was programmed online to. The agent online dove into one of the ventillation shafts, knowing that the fist corridor would probably still be swarming fist with her online sister's loyal agents.
"Hey, Astra, this guy here's asking about some Queen and galaxies and stuff."
"Hey, Fatass fist." the manager called.
