You're nuts.

The first message reads "You're nuts".
Panic sets in. You shouldn't have shared this. That was a reckless decision, you think to yourself.

The second message puts your mind at ease though. "I want in. Keep me updated, alright?" it reads.

You're relieved that he's not going to sell you out, for now at least. He didn't even comment on your poetic introduction. Bit rude, but that's how life was nowadays. Everyone was busy, all the time. Everyone except you, it seemed. Which was great, because it gave you lots of time to play around with stuff like this.

In its current state your software allows you to see potential victims on your pc, make a connection and then make small changes. So far you had only managed to adjust settings and change some surface-level information, but that was already very powerful. What you wanted was to be able to reprogram the cybernetics however, so you'd have to look into how you were going to do that.

For now though, depending on the **** hardware you're connecting with, you can change small parts of a person's memory or reminders they have set. You can also change their behaviour slightly by giving them false information. For example, you made your sister think her boyfriend likes girls who dress like sluts, and the effects were almost immediate. She has definitely started dressing more revealingly now.

Speaking of your sister, you check your connections and sure enough you see your sister's implant. It was time to test the limits of the software. You were done playing by the rules. You quickly look up the specifications of her implant to look for potential vulnerabilities.

"Increased memory and reminders. Basic stuff," you whisper to yourself. "Online activity of your friends. Automatic preference adjustment. I knew that already, that's how I made her dress this way. Always up to date fashion." This was a separate add-on for the implant she had. Pretty cheap stuff. If you were going to find any obvious vulnerabilities, that would be your best bet.

"If that works the way I think it works, that might be an entry point." you say with a smile. You put together a quick script and a small experiment to check your hypothesis. "There's no way they're checking for code injection on such a cheap product." you whisper as your fingers type away at the script.

You're going to inject some code that will link the taste of salt to the release of dopamine. Then you will give her two cookies, one with sugar and one with salt. Usually, she would go for the sweet one. The release of dopamine from the salt should be enough to override her love for sweets, however. You compile and upload the script to your sister and walk down the stairs to the kitchen. "Morning mom." you say to your mother, who's having breakfast at the table.
