Projects, projects, projects were all that were on Katya's mind. She had her current work project, white hat security on a local financial institution that was implementing new security measures for the latest and greatest of the hackers out there, so far all looked well. But given enough time Katya would find a way in, she almost always did.
Aria's project was something of a time killer. It was really more work than Katya liked. The goggles she had been given were pretty standard, except for the code underneath - all was military grade and she was having a hard time getting at the base code to see how it ticked.
And there was Katya's ever eventful attempts at hacking the WHO. It was one of the greatest systems outside of the Kremlin's and that too was on her one day she'll hit list. So far Katya had only hints at what lay underneath those protective walls. But she was getting close.
Katya didn't have to go into the office to do most of her work, so she sat at home. But when Nathaniel called her to come in, she had no choice. With laptop in hand and the rest of the work in a bag Katya boarded the train.
The car was nearly empty, the seating choice was optimal but there was something about the woman that made Katya sit across from her. She looked disheveled and Katya couldn't tell if that was blood or something else in her hair. The seats in the train were uncomfortable, but it would do for now. She pooped open her laptop and the vibration of the fans whirling alive were a reminder of the warmth she had just left in her apartment. At least the train was not as cold as it was outside, things could be worse.
Katya started the typical boot up sequence, it would be at least a 45 minute ride before she had to get off, might as well work. Katya reached above her laptop with both hands and cracked her knuckles before getting started. It was awkward typing like this, but it would do.
Moments flew by and the monotonous noise of the train drew Kayta into the computer, the 1's and the 0's flew by and she felt one with her keyboard. It was empowering. It was rare and fleeting, but it was an awesome feeling when the zone hit like it did.
Katya looked up and was reminded of why she'd chosen the seat. The woman sat with her head to her knees now and she looked even more withdrawn that she had when Katya had first entered the train. She dropped the lid of her laptop closed and leaned closer to the woman. "You okay?"
