Part zero before the fictional cyberhug.me trilogy. -- Hacktivist Whrr-Whra: Wherever human rights reign, there is our country. Whenever human rights are abused, there is our work. -- "Hey! I thought this is a fiction story about hacking." -- "It is. But hacking has changed since Hacker Jon died. It's gotten serious about human rights." -- "What about hacktivism, action, writing code, playing with people's minds, and big bad guys that need to be taken down a bunch." -- "That's here too, just start reading." -- "Give me a sample first." -- * My future found me in Juvenile Detention. What happens when you get kicked out of Juvie? I was trapped next to my room by three girls. They hurt me, I hurt them, and one was probably broken permanently. They started it, 3 on 1, and weren't worried if they maimed or killed me. The bad damage went to the backup carrying a shiv. Happily I wasn't cut bad. Turns out they are part of a gang. Not good. When I'm released from confinement I walk up to a big, tough girl that doesn't look like me or them, she prepares to fight. "You can't join my gang." she says, still ready to fight. She's no fool; she doesn't drop her guard. "I'm not going to join any gang, I want allies. I'll jump in to protect your people, you watch my back. If I'm attacked by just two I'll fight my own wars. If more than that I'd like it if you keep the extras off me."
