John was at his wit’s end. Despite all of his efforts and messages, UNI (Union Network International) was making progress gathering members. It would not be long now before there was a vote about the union in his own shop.<\/p>\n
There were only three data centers left to re-locate here! Didn\u2019t they understand there would be more money in their hands from the electronic transfer than a union could ever give them? No, they couldn\u2019t. Only John and three others knew about the plan here. A few cell leaders who John handled the email for knew, but that was it. Even John\u2019s new roommate didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
John\u2019s new roommate was a fast learner. He picked up the basics of how the email operation worked in just a couple of days. When John got home now, the vast majority of messages had already been dealt with. He left links and printout<\/span><\/span>s for his roommate to read on how to hide your IP address online<\/span><\/span>, viruses, virus scanners, and a rash of other things that allowed you to remain a ghost online.<\/p>\n They were going to have to bring in another machine so the roommate could set it up and get his own communications hub running. The leaders were more than willing to purchase another notebook. In fact, they said they were going to purchase two. The second one would be for yet another roommate John was to train. At first John was upset about this, but then he realized he would have at least another quarter (probably three) before the data center migrations were complete and his plan could take effect.<\/p>\n \u201cIf only we didn\u2019t have this union problem!\u201d he said aloud, slamming his fist down on his desk at work.<\/p>\n \u201cI know what you mean,\u201d responded John\u2019s boss.<\/p>\n The sound brought John back to his current reality in less than a heartbeat. It was unlike him to drift off and let things slip like that. Perhaps this operation was a bit too much for him. He was used to being a ghost who handled communications, not a covert operative.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat is being done about it?\u201d asked John.<\/p>\n \u201cNext to nothing can be done at this point,\u201d responded his boss. \u201cThey are recruiting people from locations other than here. We have installed security cameras, hired extra security, and watched. Other than the occasional pamphlet found on someone\u2019s desk, there is no organizing activity going on here. Once they have more than 70 percent of our people signed up, they will bring in lawyers and force us to allow a vote.\u201d<\/p>\n John barely heard anything after \u201cmore security.\u201d This was exactly what he wanted to stop from happening. He didn\u2019t want to kill his own people just to carry out this attack. He made a mental note to get access to the security tapes and assign one of his team members to pull all of them on the way out the door. He wasn\u2019t certain how they were going to handle the guard in the security room yet. Perhaps he was already working for al-Qaeda and could simply be added to the team.<\/p>\n \u00a0
