Bad Mojo on the Mojo Wire

I was in my office at NEO Command and Control when I heard mrgeddylees footsteps stomping up to my door. From the sound of his stride I wasn't surprised when he didn't even knock. He was obviously pissed off.

"Did you re-task 1337Core One?"

This was going to be awkward. I lit up a smoke. "Yeah, I needed them on something."

"What the hell could be so important? I had those hackers tracking down those Halliburton bribe wire transfers!"

I opened a drawer and pulled out the thick manila envelope. "Take a look at this."

Ged grabbed the envelope from my hand. "What the hell is this?"

"Someone out there is writing NEO and RVNN slashfic."

Ged stared at the first page. The red anger in his face faded into a clammy pale. "This is me and... _earthshine_. This is wrong. This is so wrong."

"Yes it is." I said. "That's what I've got 1337Core One tracing down."

"We've got to stop them!"

"Damn straight. But look on the bright side...amongst internet perverts you're as popular as Harry Potter now. Well, that's not quite true. According to 1337Core One, mcniadh is as popular as Harry Potter, I'm as popular as Snape and you're as popular as Hagrid."

Ged turned and left my office. It was the first time in 15 years I'd ever seen him at a loss for words.
