'Morning Jim"
"Morning Phil"
"What are you working on today?" Jim asked while he continued to fill his HenchCo water bottle from the tap.
"you remember that big ransom we got last month, 250 million?" Phil replied while he waited to fill up his bottle
"yea, boss was very happy with that- hope that trickles down so we can get some upgrades, you know the doors on levels 2 and 3 don't slide open any more, the hydraulics or something, we had to force them open with a block of wood?" Jim said while screwing his bottle lid on
"oof thats tough, makes us looks stupid when those 'good guys' come around also, but this is what I'm talking about, you know Gordon from the death ray team?, He is still running excel on windows 95, He put an order for a yellow birthday cake, got sent yellow cake uranium, boom! dead!" Phil stepped up and started to fill his bottle
"Ok what's this to do with the ransom?" Jim said looking up at the notices pinned up on the wall
"ok, ok so get this, the ransom guy pays us in Bitcoin, Gordon thank god was on hand to set up a bitcoin wallet, boss has no clue, thought they were going to get real coins, ransom guy gets released, Bitcoin all safe and sound, Bam! Gordon dies, boss trys to get into the Bitcoin wallet, uses all the trys, wallets locked, we cant get the coins"
"ah shit" Jim takes a small notice off the board for the sale of a toboggan "kids want to go to the snow before the boss melts it all" he responds to Phils raised eyebrow.
"so any way" Phil stands up "now ive got to go kidnap a few dozen computer science guys to try crack it and get the cash or the virus team don't have the funding to keep the next 'super virus from going world wide" safe under lock and key.
Jim waves for Phil to go first towards the lifts
"did the Virus team say how it was being spread" Jim asks while hitting the lift button.
"Ah water I think" Phil responded idly while looking at the number on the lift door slowly move.
Phil and Jim move to the side as the lift doors open and a figure in full hazmat gear steps out and walks down the hall.
"you know maybe we go out and get a coffee today?" Phil says while looking down at his water bottle
