competition thought Dave. "
"Willard is coming by today, " said Addie. "I asked him to stop by and we
would give him all the information he desired. "
"Let's meet in the downstairs salon, that unisex Barbershop. "
"Style-Cuts, " said Addie as she painted her lipstick on blue-powder the new
fashion rage.
"What is that lipstick you're using? You look like a punk dudette," laughed Dave
"I also purchased a plastic dress. "
"I can see through you. "
"Not x-ray, plastic you nut. "
"You're bra shows through?" teasingly said Dave as he held her arm.
She chopped his arm behind his shoulder so that he exclaimed, "bitch that hurt.
"
"Hold you're libido. "
"You asked for it. "
"You analyzed my speech pattern. "
She walked up to his desk and slammed her hand across his hand. He reacted by tripping her
onto the floor. So that she jumped up and kicked the side of his desk that split across.
Observing what happened a security guard approached with a gun in his hand.
"Both of you must leave immediately or you will be arrested. " His heavy
set body alertly moved between the two combatants. Physical combat was prohibited within
company areas. "Fight this out in the Karate Room, " the guard ordered.
"Good idea, " said Dave as he put his arm around Addie.
"I like the way you tripped me up. A new Karate move? "
"I learned that from my Sensei. "

and competition must be a team need so that the company is unaffected. Group
hostilities are handled by physical experts in primal screaming and martial arts. At any
time that hostile behavior would occur the participants are required to leave company work
areas and continue sublimation in specific locations.

Willard thought, "I planned the covert operation logically. Irrational
reactions result from illogical thought patterns. Dave would be the medium for the
new system design, transmitted by Addie. Given their previous successes with
espionage no one would question the design. Everything would interface correctly, however
data would not talk to input/output. Therefore creating a schizophrenic computer with a
multiple-personality would result. This would exceed the effect of a computer virus,
easily tracked and annihilated by existing programs. The computer would provide a false
sense of security, with processors communicating without actually exchanging information.
My computer design background provided the necessary face validity for creating the
design. Engineering would sign-off on the project as a new design that must be
tested. Addie would write the documentation assuming the design was valid. Dave
would receive the copy and provide Conrad with a specification. Conrad would push
production before my company. Page 10
Conwine's revenge, Dave's disaster, Addie's deception, and my job! Dave would
get drunk. Conwine would promote me, and Addie would never forget what
happened. Conwine is Cassias to Conrad's Caesar, while I watch Dave play Brutus to
Conrad. As an outsider I watch the play unfold, reaping encouragement from other people's
success and |
