Burning Hype
“Well?” Janine asked as her friend Iz surfaced from the preliminary hack. “Are we still on for tonight?”
Iz grinned, chome-capped teeth glinting in the light from the screen. “Janine, sweetie, I could drive a trolley-bus in a moldy wig through some of the holes in their security. How's the rest of it going?”
Janine grinned back and pressed a kiss to Iz's temple, next to the implant that let her love dance through cyber space so easily. “All done and waiting for your end to finish.” She fanned the paperwork for their new identies.
Iz laughed. “Hype-boy fell for his own corp's hype, which means he believes his AI when it says everything's secure. And the AI believes me when I tell it I'm meant to be there.” Her eyes glazed a little as she drifted back into cyberspace, dancing through the webs to change their official genders to what they should always have been.
