Let's go steal...some sense of what's going on [Video/Intro]

[age_of_the_geek]

[The screen flickers, and on it appears a face. One that is extremely confused.]

So, I got a ton of questions. And I kinda think I don't like the answer, because I'm like really sure that this is like, a fever dream or I'm poisoned. Because before I came into the Buck Rogers looking place, I was walking out of a business meeting.

[The camera shifts a bit, and the man dramatically waves his arms to emphasize the surroundings]

And then suddenly there's flying cars and crazy stuff like that, and everyone's speaking a language I sure as hell don't know. And then these weird little dudes find me and stick a thing in my hear, so that I now do understand everything, and I get the spiel on this group called the Legion of Superheroes that I join because I like what I'm hearing

So, yeah. My name is Alec Hardison. But call me Hardison. Or...I dunno, I came up with a code name. Would I use that instead? Like, what's the etiquette to superheroes when the heroes are also cops too?

So yeah. Hardison. Or Datastream. Whatever.

Also, anyone whose good with the really damn insane tech I will be your padawan because holy crap the tech!

Oh the hardware's nice but wait till you see the coding and encryptions they've got floating around. That's the real candyland right there.

[age_of_the_geek]

Mister, I may not know who you are, but god damn do I like what I am hearing you say. I really hadn't gotten much chance to play with anything when I first showed up. It was a hell of a rush job, to say nothing of the weird thing I can do now. But tech? Coding, encryption, spoofing, and all that good stuff? My bread and butter man.

[goddamngrenades]

You and me are gonna get along just fine. Codename's Locksmith, call me Taylor- feel free to elaborate on this 'weird thing' you can do now. What'd you get?

[age_of_the_geek]

Locksmith, eh? Handy dandy name, that. As for me, I can...well, I sorta become electricity. Like, I dissipate, and when I'm like that I can jump into an access port of some kind and run- would run be the right word there?

Eh, besides the point. Anyway, I need a way out, and haven't tested it on like a cut wire, but any sort of input/output port I can jump back out.

[goddamngrenades]

What, no using a ringing telephone to pop out of the matrix?

[ OLD earth sci-fi but this guy seems of the era. Ish. Maybe? Gauging this shit is hard, man. ]

I wonder if this means you're partly digital- and if you can interact with the AI we got floating around.

[age_of_the_geek]

[Ooooh, Matrix reference. Good playing to the judge, Locksmith]

So long as you ain't calling me Morpheus. Although I gotta admit, the big ass leather trench coats are pretty damn cool.

[goddamngrenades]

Ask the right people and you can probably get a vegan leather one made up. They're pretty good about outfitting us here.
