All weasels? I'm sure there must be someone in there with opposable thumbs.

    A fun start, and an entertaining mix of technology and the occult! I never trusted those end user agreements. I never read them, sure, but that's just because I'm lazy. I liked Hallie's personal visit to Vinnie (as well as the reason why). She needs to get out more. And Vinnie desperately needs an upgrade. Surely there are more advanced computers in the average dumpster.


EULAs seem like ripe source for abuse. I think it was Pratchett and Gaiman's Good Omens wherein a devil sent one back to the contracts department of hell with the message, "Learn, guys!"

The Hallie/Vinnie contrasts seemed like fertile source for interaction. Vinnie is in some ways similar to young Vizh.

    Nice to see Cody and Kara again as well. Well, Cody, certainly. Although, shouldn't we have recruited a halfway decent gamer to go into this program? I get the feeling that Vinnie and Vizh are both the type to earn scathing comments from the 13 year olds online.


There are a few characters I could have thrown in there - CSFB! would be a prime option - but in this case I reckon the mystic/antivirus team won out. They did pack an ace in the hole though.

    Looking forward to the next bit!


I'll proofread it later on and try and get it up tonight.
