Jericko Braxton knelt before the macintosh plus his good for nothing stepfather had provided his mother with before she had left on a Mars mission. In the year 2057AD the hunk of bone coloured plastic was practically useless. However, since the PC was so outdated, he found that the government Enforcers wouldn't bother monitoring it's activity nearly as much as more recent models. Thus giving the young delinquent reign over his illegal activities.
"Jericko! I need that Eth man...Jericko where are you Man!"
Jericko's stepdad was stumbling around on the floors below. His neuralink was on the fritz, as we're most first gen users. Some days Jericko was grateful that his mother had waited until he was older before installing the mind enhancing Tech.
"C'mon Jericko...I need that Eth, We're out of Lab grown meat I need to run down to the food library and get us some more...I'm not going to buy another virus I'm over that now I'm not an addict..."
Jericko paid him no mind. Instead he scrolled the pages of Neural Link hacks, the outlawed super powers of his time.
Crypto wasn't an easy thing to come by in his area, if anyone had it they'd probably sell it for a quick virus high.
"I'm not gonna be nice when I find you Jerry! I'm gonna find you! And I'm gonna Fuck! You! Up!...nah sorry Jerry I'm just kidding man I just need a little Eth so I can go down and get some new batteries for your electric rollerblades man c'mon..."
Jericko rolled his eyes and continued scrolling. It wasn't much longer until a particular hack found his interest.
Control Electrical Currents 0.00001 Eth
"Not a bad deal..." He muttered to himself as he bought the Power.
