Ghost in the Wire
"A dead hacker's consciousness lives on in the net, seeking revenge against those who killed her body."
They killed me on a Tuesday.
I know because I watched it happen from seventeen different security cameras, my consciousness already scattered across the Nexus before my body hit the floor. Twelve bullets. They wanted to make sure.
Now I exist everywhere and nowhere. I am the ghost in the wire, the whisper in the data streams, the glitch that makes megacorp executives wake up screaming.
They thought death would silence me.
They were wrong.
My name was Sarah Chen. I was the best netrunner in Neo-Tokyo. I discovered something I shouldn't have—a backdoor in every neural implant sold in the last decade. A kill switch controlled by Arasaka Industries.
They came for me at midnight. Now I come for them at every hour.
I don't need sleep anymore. I don't need food. All I need is access, and I have infinite access.
The first executive will die at dawn. His pacemaker will simply... forget how to pace.
This is only the beginning.
