Operation Kick Ass, Part IV

(Brent Jackson)


[Bill, Matt and Brent along with about twenty Microsoft were boarding a private Concorde jet]

Matt: (to Brent) Jesus, this plane is awesome, I want one, make that two.

[As they enter the plane they are surrounded with computers, with large glowing screens, all displaying tactical information concerning the French as well as AOL's troops, a lone person sits at the command console, John Romero (the creator of Doom and Quake)]

Gates: I assume you both know John, he is our new kick ass blow up dude, we seek him on people who we want to disappear.

Brent: Nice to meet you.

[Matt and Brent go to one side, letting Bill and John talk]

John: Bill, we gotta get going, we have to strike the French at home while most of their forces are still in the states. We only
have about sixteen hours before they start heading back.

[Bill sits down in front of a terminal, sees that it is running Windows]

Gates: John WTF! This is a mission critical plane, we can not risk running windows! GET ME A LINUX BOX!!! NOW!

[John looks at Bill in surprise, then he quickly hands gates his keyboard and points him in the direction of an X terminal]

[Bill then opens up cIRCus, and goes to #diejarjardie where upon he writes:

Hackers of the world, we need your help! AOL is attempting to take over the world, we must stop them. Please, for the love of god, and all that is electronic, BRING AOL'S SERVERS TO A GRINDING HALT!!!]

Gates: Alright, hopefully the hackers will buy us some time, that will keep AOL's techs busy, and eat up all of their computing cycles so that they can not track our flight.

John (to Brent and Matt): Well if you two are coming along, you better get suited up. Here, put these on.

[He hands them blue body armor, a helmet, and a pair of light goggles]


Commercial break:

Don't you hate commercials? I sure as hell do, but I figured we aught to put one in, just is case you had to go to the john or something.


Gates [to the pilot]: Set a heading toward France.....go!
