Time to get a little nosy.

You grab your second wine refill and are feeling pretty mellow as you give up on finding something on Netflix. Ever since they moved to making mediocre 'original' series instead of stocking the best movies it's been pretty bland. Since you don't feel buzzed enough to sit through any of it, you roll your chair over to the desk and fire the Chromebook up. Just a quick little look around you promise yourself as you open the laptop and fire it up.

After searching through two hours' worth of fire alarm sites and various other dead ends you finally find something. Since you were looking for variations of porn sites, the FireBox Gentleman Member's Club site slipped past your searches for a while but looks like it may be a hit.

The main landing page is actually kind of boring. It is filled with pictures of Greek statues, Roman architecture and describes itself as an exclusive club promoting brotherhood. If you didn't have an idea what you were looking for, you'd have never guessed it was anything other than some 'Knights of Columbus' type organization.

You click through and read the membership page, bored out of your mind at all the verbiage talking about building brotherhood and networking with professionals. . . blah, blah, blah. So you hit the join button and your eyes pop wide open. They boast their tier-one membership starts at $50 a month and hints that higher levels exist for 'trusted' members.

You take a moment to get your third refill and are feeling pretty good. You look back at the screen, smirk, and say "Welcome, brother Simone!". You hit the login button, input your username and password, then hit enter. The system thinks for a moment the pops up a familiar screen.

"Second authentication check in progress. Please insert your security key into the Universal Serial Bus port on the side of the communications terminal please".

You quickly open the desk drawer, pull out, and open the black case. You snatch the drive out of it and plug the thumb into the Chromebook's last remaining open USB slot and hit continue. The spinning circle fills your screen for a minute or two before you get dropped on an account screen. It identifies you at the top by your raunchy screen name CS_Redcumslut, tags you as a 'client services model' (you guess that's what the CS stands for in your name) with one 'exhibit', and says your access level is 3 of 5. You click through to the mail icon at the top and see the same emails waiting that the terminal showed.

Curious, you click on the exhibit button and are brought to your page. It has your screen name as the page title with your first name in quotes off to the side. There is a picture from the beginning of your initial photo shoot at the top. You still think the skirt/tank combo is cute but now wish you'd spent a bit more time on your hair.

Below it there is a bio box that says 'under construction' and two tabs at the top. One of them says pictures and the other videos. Below it there is a chat widget where users with names like 'SlutSlayer' and 'CuntDestroyer' have left thoughtful comments like "Damn bet she'd be a handful at a frat party" or "Imagine inviting a bunch of your best buddies to run a train on her!". This sounds like a pretty rowdy place, you think as you gulp the last of your glass down.

You click the picture tab and it displays about 100 different stills from your photoshoot, another chat window at the bottom has similarly classy comments. You click on a couple of the better pictures and each fills a good chunk of your screen with a very high-resolution picture and another chatbox at the bottom.

Then you click over to the video tab and just see a message at the top promising the first video "Shoplifting Always Pays!" is in post-processing and will be available soon. The chat box at the bottom is mostly full of comments complaining that it is taking too long.

You head over to your account screen again and see a large bonfire icon flashing off to the side. You click on it and it opens a standalone chat window. The name at the top is CS_BigmanRiding.

CS_BigmanRiding: I presume this is Ms. Stewart?

You: Yeah? I hope the user name gives it away. Hi! :wave emoji:

Him: Lol! Yeah, I see you got really bored playing with the terminal and nosing around the internet to find us.

You: Ummm I hope I didn't screw up here. I've never been fired before my 90-day eval before :wink emoji:

Him: Nope. It isn't technically against the rules but usually, no one shows up before the onboarding conference. I mean we don't make this place easy to find.

You: Maybe I'm a brilliant hacker driven by boredom and wine? Ok, the hacker part is a lie but the boredom and wine part isn't :Lol emoji:

Him: I bet sweetie! Sadly I'm going to have to kick you off now. It isn't against the rules per se, but if you break a rule before you know them you'll be banned and that'd make working pretty close to impossible. The paperwork to fix it takes forever too and quite a few of us can't wait to see more of your work. I'll set the reactivate for your account to right before the onboarding so you can do that. The terminal will still let you into the email in case you need the manuals for the equipment. Have a great night and see you soon!

The chat window blinks for a minute but you can't type into it. You guess the mod kicked you off. It seems pretty rude to try and log on again, besides you have no idea if that'll get you in trouble. So you close the browser, turn off the computer, and put your equipment away. You spend the next few hours drinking a bit more wine and watching a boring rom-com before heading to bed. Tomorrow should be busy!
