Finding His Friends

[Sage]

Sage shrugged at all of that. There was nothing he could say or do that would make this man trust him. And Trusting Nox, was going to take a whole lot more trusting on Aiden's part. But there was a level of understanding he could do. Aiden had given away a tidbit of information and Sage split his attentions while he hacked into the the CCD citizenship application database. It wasn't hard to do. He'd done so himself for his own needs after Grim was caught in lieu of himself. Stupid idiot!

But it didn't matter. Aiden would get his paperwork. It was merely a few flags to flip a few signatures to fake and bam it was done. All in a matter of nano seconds with this new processor. Sage was loving it. He cleaned his trail as he left, leaving nothing behind except someone a bit scrubber advanced enough to work faster than human thought. That was where his advantage had always been. It was a thought, not a multifaceted communication between brain to fingers to get out the exact sequence of key strokes to form one single command. It was a thought. Sage was still building many of those connections but the more he used it the better it all became. And being here with Aiden was making those connections so much faster.

"Your paperwork has been approved, and should be printing and be out in tomorrow's mail. I am no video game. And it's no prank, but I get it. There is no reason to trust me, or my friend. Though he is also an American who now calls the CCD his home."


There was one thing that Nox had plenty of, that was data concerning how he channeled. He had videos of fireballs hurtling across the basement and how close many of them had come when Cruz was learning how to form shields to hitting their friend. Sage had watched with his own eyes the brute force teaching Nox gave Cruz. Sage uploaded several videos to Aiden's computer and set a destructive virus in them if they were to ever hit the netted firewall Sage placed around Aiden's computer. What was once insecure now became part of Sage's monitoring. He'd know the moment it passed that threshold, whatever came in Sage would know. Aiden didn't need to know that, the only person who'd willingly given him access had ever been Nox. Why the idiot ever game him full access to his things Sage would never understand, but he'd done that long before they'd ever actually become friends. The only link to his sister... Sage sighed.

"There are videos for you to watch of my friend teaching our friend. If they leave your computer it'll be bad for you and for whoever watches them, so just don't. Delete them if you want, but they can't leave your computer, not ever."
