After years of helping people who barely knew how to generate a 2048-bit encryption key, I should’ve been happy to get a client with a real problem. But when it starts with me being knocked unconscious and kidnapped, you understand if I’m grumpy. Still, a missing insane software designer is a magnet to my mental I’m an Information Technology Private Investigator and I love a high-tech problem. My only worry is that unlike my usual cases, this one might just kill me. I’m not the best information technology private investigator. There are others better than me, others more experienced, others with better stories to tell. But I haven’t met them yet.

My newest client is a highly-specialized marine research facility. Fixing a broken Internet connection is simple, but in this open world role-playing video game we call life, one problem often brings another. I’m talking bigger problems, like information theft, a very odd but interesting experiment, and a network admin who thinks he's a 1010 when he's really a 0001. Will I bail? No. I'm an Information Technology Private Investigator. What I do is examine. Fix. And, if the Outer Gods allow it, solve.
