"Taking advantage of people with a sweet tooth? I'm probably in danger then, huh?" A more sensible Pokemon would be concerned here. Fortunately for her, she was dealing with Torrie. 'Self preservation' is a system process he doesn't listen to very often...

💾Also I'm sorry I'm never not going to grin like an absolute idiot at "you don't have to pay rent to a computer" My wife was shoulder-surfing me while I was writing that solo and she *howled* with laughter at that line, it's so quintessentially Torrie-coded.

💾And done! Tempus is a recurring background character that may come up in anything relating to Torrie's secops/red team work. Torrie still doesn't know his real name - and both of them would rather keep it that way. That's why Torrie's the "face" of their company!

"Just think of it as a type that you're weak to! Good thing that you've got a partner pokemon who you can switch into the computer-type attacks now." Even when negotiating a contract, he was still Torrie.

"Good enough. When you join, look for Tempus. Tempus Amat." Torrie tilted his head. "Time loves?" The hacker departed without a word, waving as he departed.

their own security. "Huh. I was actually looking for a job, too." "Well, I saw how easily you pierced that network, and overheard you saying what you said about being a gijinka Porygon2. You'd make a killer red teamer." "Thanks. I'll give it some thought."

"I'm looking to put together a company and go legit. Well, as legit as a grey hat can, anyways. I know a buddy who does red teaming." Torrie raised an eyebrow. Red teaming - the practice of large entities inviting known hackers and infiltrators into their systems to test +

more malicious intentions than a cheap sandwich." The other hacker pondered this, then sighed. "Fuckin' grey hats. Fine. But you owe me - join my crew." He handed a card to Torrie, which contained info for an IRC server.

[Three Weeks Later] The check that he'd deposited after helping out a local restaurant was good enough to pay for his month's utilities and then some! It was sheer dumb luck that the cash registers they used had an outdated operating system, and had a vulnerability that he'd +

until it clicked. Obviously, the same thing that Seth had done! Security, and more specifically, cybersecurity! After all, since he could interact with wireless networks even from within his body, it gave him a significant edge in terms of testing networks from the outside!

For a Porygon2 who'd been compiled on site at Silph Co., this raised several issues. For one, he scarcely understood how to get a job. For two, what passed for a resume for him? How do you condense "I was forcibly merged with a human due to an experimental device built by +
