I started out simple. Y'know just stealing a few files and sending them to my client. Carefully cover my tracks by deleting logs. Bouncing the connection all over the world from my gateway. The suckers never even knew it was me.
I connect to my the Uplink internal service system. On the mission list, "Change social security details for my client". This is the big one. I flexed my fingers and started up the trace tracker. Whenever you start to crack a system they can trace you. If you disconnect before they get the trace the signal disappears. I run the proxy disable so its ready. Proxy stops you deleting logs. I bounce my signals across public access servers before connecting to my target server.
The proxy disable gets halfway before they realise I'm cracking the system. Starting the password breaker and give it the most CPU usage. Got the password!
I search the records for 'Paul McEvoy' change some details before saving the changes. Now to delete the logs. You should've seen me I got rid of all four entries, disconnected and then sent an email to my client tell me I'd finished the job. That's 7700 credits thanks. I think my Modem needs upgrading..
Uplink is ruthless. No manuals. No second chances. It taught me to touch type by threatening me with the CIA. Seven seconds can separate you from riches and utter destruction.
Uplink is a fantastic game.
