Why? Just...why? At least make it sound somewhat realistic, like Robertli Derrup-Tableau?
...That's my name suggestion, just so you know.

To explain: That's an SQL injection attack. Basically, if our computer isn't coded right, we're about to fuck shit up.

Spoiler: Boring technical explanation (click to show/hide)

So basically, SQL is a system for managing databases, like a list of residents for example. You can feed it user input, such as their name, to add to it. However, there's a few important parts to that name that let us do something special. We insert the actual name, "Robert", and follow it with ');
What that mess of punctuation basically does is ends the string (a fancy name for a sentence/word/etc, anything with text) with a ', ends the command to add the name to the table with ), and then primes it for a new command with ;. The second part, DROP TABLE Residents;, is another command in SQL, telling it to completely delete a database named "Residents." We don't know the name for sure, of course, btu that seems like a reasonable guess.

It IS possible to guard against SQL injection attacks like this, pretty easy actually, but some people aren't aware or forget.

And the only sensible place we would be listed as a resident would be the apartment. We 'might' be listed as a resident of the city or state, but that really seems to be pushing it. The apartment was explisitly listed as being high security. It seems doubtful that they would be using SQL and if they were it would be guarded against basic input breaches...

Try listing us a donor or something instead of a resident if you are really really really desperate to try S.Q.L. attacks in a universe in which it likely doesn't exist.

Robert'); DROP TABLE Residents;

Of course, you sanitized your input.

The DROP TABLE Residents; clan has a history, which your late grandfather claimed to have predated the Upload. Most of your relatives have changed their last names to Tables or something that fits better on their driver's license, but you've never really felt inclined to change it.

Your ancestor must've been really pissed off at their landlord or something.

Oh, but that said, your friends usually call you Bobby Tables. Sometimes Little Bobby Tables if they aren't afraid of being shanked by a chili dog.

Looks like your formerly-online-but-now-local friend has found a contract for you already. Actually, more like yesterday. Jeez, you were so busy getting settled in.

New Message

MANDELA: Okay, here's a juicy contract for you.

I'd take it myself, but here's your welcome gift. They're overpaying, so looks like it's an inexperienced Doe. Doesn't give me any other details apart from meeting place, though, and their signal is encrypted to high hell, so I'll give them credit for that.

Just tell me when you're fully plugged to Serverside, then I'll try to arrange a meeting for you two.

Make sure we ARE fully plugged into server side before accepting it. Also, check around our apartment for things we could find useful.

[Puppyguard]

Realize that we have no neck.

Then do this.

Do a review of your firewalls, this contact sounds dodgy.

absynth: i'm server side of serverside.

Mandela: Hah.
Mandela: Ready to earn some bits, then?

absynth: it looks too good to be true. this doesn't seem like a simple contract. you sure that's not why you referred me?

Mandela: Aw shit you caught me, I was trying to get you assassinated all along.
Mandela: Whatever happened to greenr0nin?

absynth: he got his username changed to absynth and got several years older.
absynth: anyways i just wanted your input, i'd go there anyways and run away really fast if things went sideways.

Mandela: Stings or scams don't waste their money on a secure proxy, they'd just use a decoy machine to look like somebody who doesn't know their shit.
Mandela: But it's basically a private eye job. With a side of bounty hunting. So yeah, it's not a simple contract.
Mandela: We're talking about 50000 bits here. That's like, 4 months of rent, even in your fancy-shmancy fortress.

absynth: could've led with that.

Mandela: Cha-chiiiiiing!
Mandela: I'll get in touch with the client. You go get yourself presentable. I bet you're clothesless right now because you're too much of a miser to pay cosmetics taxes, yet you'd lug that dumb rocket sleep pod and a bunch of your junks over.

absynth: they have... sentimental values...

Mandela: Hah, so you are clothesless and in a room with a bunch of random junk!

absynth: i have my cute antenna, so you're wrong.

Mandela: That doesn't count as clothing.

absynth: fine, i'll explore the city and get something warm to wear.

check around our apartment for things we could find useful.

There are some of your things in the living room, but you don't have the time to render that room right now. That shouldn't matter anyways because the things in your living quarter right now are useful, despite what a certain person named after a conspiracy theory might say.

On the floor are weapons of various kinds, the RAPIER, the FAKE CHILI DOG, the UZI, and the EMPTY KETCHUP BOTTLE. You would also need your TABLET AND KEYBOARD, the tools of your trade, with you.

[Egan_BW]

Model a backpack to put all our junk in. Go get some clothes; like a sweet trenchcoat or something.

[flame99]

We need to have a high-class Armani suit tailor-made to fit us with a custom gun holster and katana sheath. Or an inconspicuous set of jeans and a T-shirt. Either works.

[mastahcheese]

Jeans and T-shirt PLUS sweet trenchcoat, plus backpack.
