The Packrats and the T-Hack in grydscaen are two groups that are fighting for information freedom and the end of oppression in the Echelons and the Zone. The view from the City is that these groups are rebel forces that are causing chaos in the Echelons. The Packrats specifically are out to equalize the landscape. The Zone Police and the enforcers and trackers of the Elite government are rounding up psychics off the street and taking them in for…..
Rom ran down the streets of the Shizuoko ghetto with a sniper rifle. He had to get to his next position. His tan trench coat flapping in the wind as the fallout rained down like snow. He brought the neck of his sweater up so it covered his mouth and nose trying not to breathe in the toxic particles but it was of little use. The iodine pills he had been taking for the past year would have to do…..
Sometimes the Universe tests you. It wants to see how you handle yourself under pressure and if you can hold up and fight. Having been tested before I have come from the depths and come out the other side at least twice, and then again when my car flipped upside down due to tires flying off that were not bolted on right. I walked away from that in a totalled car and miraculously was the only vehicle to get harmed……
When I started out writing the grydscaen series I had a message I wanted to relay but did not know if anyone would ever see it. So in a sense I started writing for myself. After the first book in the series grydscaen: retribution, my space changed. I went on a mission after one book did not portray the depths of the entire epic story I would be creating with grydscaen. With grydscaen: beginnings which can be said is…..
So today has been a wake up call. Life is precious and it can elude us at any moment. I was going to school and working and publishing my books as secondary. This afternoon I came across something that changed my mindset. At this moment it is about the Packrats, and the message and being there for lgbt teens and homeless youth. My books are important and I must finish the grydscaen mission. Nothing else matters. The world has…..
Faid Callen is the leader of the Packrat hackers. He is a hacker and a high priced host who does jobs for George the corporate board member of the SenseNet. Faid was originally a street kid abandoned by his father at age 12. He lived on the streets for a few years before he turned 18 learning to live by any means necessary to survive the harsh day to day existance in the Echelons in the Red Light District. …..
There has been a lot of talk about locking down the Internet and throttling back speeds and controlling access. The size of your bank account would gain you more access than others. Or if backed by a large corporation you would get more service. Well today that threat might have been partially neutralized by the statements of the highest lawmaker. Clear and firm net neutrality rules would leave the Internet open to the people and not have one set…..
In grydscaen: tribute we talk about Rom, the compromised hacker who was captured by the government and had his memory erased. Before this compromise he had electronics medically placed into his arm as a skin job. These cybernetic electronics enable him to get all up in the grydscaen and explore different sites. An exploit kit as you would call it enables a hacker to compromise innocent devices that visit a compromised site and can download pieces of the exploit to…..
With the announcement in the news recently that a large search company will be pursuing technology that will detect defective cells and continue their research into this with nanoparticles, I wanted to talk a little about nanomachines and their use in grydscaen. The operatives at the Psi Faction are infused with nanomachines for their second level of psi conditioning. Besides the fact that these nanomachines help to stabilize psychic power they also help the operative by optimizing their cells…..
