22:14 How do you know this?
Then the hammer dropped. The truth I had been waiting for. What I needed to trust him.
22:15 I helped him.
I had been in total shock. This was very personal for Toxicwrath.
I needed just a little more.
22:15 You helped him? Then why do you want to take him down? Won’t that expose you too?
I had some hesitation. I wouldn’t attach myself to a project that would hang me out to dry. If Toxicwrath was on a possibly self-destructive vendetta, he’d have to do this one alone.
I couldn’t risk it.
I had Charlotte to think about.
22:16 There’s no way to tie us together. I’ve ensured that. Douglas needs to be stopped. We’re the ones to stop him. I can’t do this without you. You’re the best there is. You’re the only one who can do this.
Toxicwrath was using my ego to gain compliance. I knew exactly what game he was playing.
22:18 I’m taking steps to shield myself from this. I won’t be taken down if this goes badly.
22:20 I would expect no less. This is why you’re the queen.
The queen.
I liked that.
Knowing the truth about the Virtuant CEO made going forward with the hashing attack that much easier. I had my plans for vengeance; Toxicwrath had his. I could respect that.
And he needed me.
He couldn’t do it alone.
We both knew who did the heavy lifting in these attacks. I had made a name for myself by being meticulous. By planning things perfectly.
I wasthe queen….
Toxicwrath set up an untraceable bank account in the Cayman Islands. We’d use the hashing to get the passwords, but that wasn’t all. The hashing attack was just the tip of the iceberg. My partner was after more than a few million user passwords. He wanted top secret information Douglas Howard kept on a private server on the Virtuant mainframe.
We’d sell the passwords to contacts Toxicwrath had on the deep Web as an added bonus.
He said it was a new project Douglas had invested millions in creating.
It was apparently very important to my secretive partner.
23:03 It’s a nanny state project. Think the worst of Big Brother and times it by a thousand. It’s a program meant to keep eyes on everyone.
23:04 We should destroy it. A program like that is bad news. Especially for us.
23:05 I’ll take care of it. Douglas Howard won’t be watching anyone.
23:06 Was this your program? Is that how you know about it?
23:06 We need to get that program. It’s important.
I thought about the money. I had a brief moment where I thought about keeping it for myself.
