But my fingers type a different reply.

CyberGhost: What do you have in mind?

MaskedMarauder: Heard about a new crypto platform last night

MaskedMarauder: They’re looking for people to write some code

CyberGhost: What type of code?

MaskedMarauder: Back-end

MaskedMarauder: Bookkeeping stuff

CyberGhost: Everyone else is in?




CyberGhost: Mask?

CyberGhost: The others are ready to raid?

MaskedMarauder: Those mofos can’t code to save their fucking lives

MaskedMarauder: You and I can do this on the side

The Red Cap Raiders are a team. We each bring skills to the table.

But Iamthe best coder. And Mask brings the best targets to the group. We’ve never asked for an extra cut, never taken an extra dip, even when we’ve done three quarters of the work.

After too long a pause, I finally type back.

CyberGhost: Does this coin have a name?

MaskedMarauder: NightSaber

StarCoin. Mask’s unnamed bookie. Now, NightSaber. Three targets to hit with new campaigns.

This isn’t the way Red Cap works. We choose a single goal and work on it until we win. We work together, all five of us.

MaskedMarauder: Ghost? You there?

I type before I think too much.

CyberGhost: I’m here

And then:

CyberGhost: I’m in
