Machinations

With the base underway on Myrkr, I could leave the rest to the construction drones. I hopped in a scout ship, activated cloaking, and headed to Hyllard City. Once I arrived in the city's airspace, I opened the bay door, cloaked myself and dropped into the city. I had the ship go hover outside city airspace until called.

I toured the city. It was a city of scum really. Poor and the haggard all around. The only ones dressed okay were the smugglers, and unsavory types. There were some civilians, but they mostly kept their heads down. The spaceport was... adequately sized I suppose. As I continued to look around, I saw to my surprise a bounty hunter guild building. I didn't expect one to be on this frontier world. Granted, this branch was only in a rather small building.

The doors open automatically, so I just walked in front of them and allowed my movement to be detected. The doors opened and I simply walked in like a regular invisible dude. The desk guy looked up from his holo-pad, seeing nothing he scoffed and looked down again. No one was in the guild branch besides this desk jockey. So, like any good 9ft Yautja, I silently hopped over the desk. I smashes the desk jockey's head on the desk, knocking him out. I analyze his set-up. I quickly find that the holo-pad is connected to the guild's bounty system via holo-net.

As a genius member of the Dark Blade Clan, hacking this little holo-pad is trivial. I hack the holo-pad, and access the registration page. As I am using staff privileges, I can fill out and submit the bounty hunter registration myself. I did plan on becoming a bounty hunter, but I didn't plan on doing so on this world. This is convenient for me though. The application allows you to withhold a lot of information, such as race, appearance, age, and work address. I only input my hunter name which will be "Predator". With branch manager privileges, I don't need a picture submitted either. I finally issue myself a membership card/number. I lucked out this guy was also considered the manager of this branch. I take my ID card and skedaddle out of their. The manager shouldn't remember anything, and even if he does, he can't undo anything.

Now to create an access point to the holo-net. The other objective I came here for. Rather than always hacking my way in, I want to modify a physical access point that'll always allow my connection. Therefore, I'm off the the city data center.

The data center only has one guard sleeping on a chair, haha. I even let some humorous predator clicking out loud. the sod doesn't even wake up from that. I walk straight past him into he server room. My cloak rendered the security detection tech moot. I went over to some servers and opened a few up. After some tinkering, I'm now a world holo-net admin, hehe. Now I can always access holo-net on this planet.

That means I also control what information goes in or out of the holo-net system. I'm going to be through and go take control of the long range planetary transmitters. They are separate from the holo-net system and can still receive and transmit data. Once I get that done, I have information control on the whole planet! This is so easy as there is only one city with such facilities.

I start leaping over to the long range transmission station. It was close to the data center. I am aghast when the station on has two guards and three staff. I know the city population isn't too large, but come on. There are definitely enough people to place a guard at every door at least. What a crappy local government.

I sneak in no problem and get inside the control room. Along the way, I saw a board with the schedule on it. With a glance, I could see I snuck in during lunch break. So when I entered the control room, it was empty. I got to work tinkering about. Five minutes in, I'm done. The station is under my shadow control. This planet is mine now.

I start a hearty laugh as I turn to leave. I hop up on the roof the station and call in my scout ship. It comes over, hovers and opens its bay door. I hop in.

In the Yautja tongue, "Now it is a viable plan to make this into a reservation world. Jungles, forest, mountain ranges, and plains. Low population, information control. I can do it."
