Synopsis

The year is 2333 and battle rages in the stars.

For 300 years a war has been fought in space. A war which was meant to be humanity's salvation. Controlled by a centralized computer and fought by genetically created clones, this is a nice, neat little war which shouldn't go wrong...

But all that is just about to change...

A random factor has entered the computer system and sent it spiralling out of control. Now humanity must face the realities of war for the first time in generations. And all that stands between the world and total destruction is a computer hacker called Dirk and two space combatants called Ylon and Blast. But are they up to the task, or is it already too late?

Idly tapping the keys, he replayed the steps he had already taken in his mind, and then something his father said jogged his memory.


He dialed the AWS number and was greeted with the now familiar GWS: link to AWS


Log on
:
Dirk typed in Gorman. There was a millisecond delay as if AWS seemed to consider its response.

Password
:
Dirk grimaced. This was it.He leaned forward and typed: "BLUE-EYED BOY." There was an even longer delay and then the following words materialized before him.

"Harry, is that you? I thought you had been ... another protracted pause ... deleted."
