Douglas Reeves responded to the fic idea that Jeremy and myself 
posted as such:

The reason why we singled Nene out is exactly the fact of her 
recruitment.  Sylia placed an ad out on the Internet.  Granted, it was a 
heavily coded and encrypted ad, but it was still sent out to the public. 
 Anyone could have broken it, as Doug pointed out later in his message.

I actually look at this particulair instance in a differing light....
 I mean Nene had to find a specific site, crack the password and also the
file which Sylia sent/ had stored there...
it was a plant.
 it had to be.
Obviously Sylia had been scoping out various people who fit her
particulair profile. She must have set up some sort of "bait"
foreach prospective hacker....perhaps a message of some sort.

 I am a friend 
 I know what you do.
 I know how you do it.
 Do you truly hate "them"
 Catch me.
 
 with each new "lure" more complex than the last leadig on a sort of
"scavenger hunt"
It wouldn't be a file (crackme.com)  in some ftp site (or dozens)
in a directory called secret.
She already had her prospective choices made and to be honest she was 
smart enough in this to not slip up. It wasn't like they were simply
several in a line whom she had talked to (but then again... back to the
original concept of "what if."
This is something I *DON'T* see happening. 

 the second one today.
 She hated this.
 She blamed herself. not strong enough, not good enough.
 She had walled herself away from people to long to be able to judge them
accurately.
 She sighed.
 This one might be difficult.
 Lifting was out of the question.
She dragged the body to the elavator and decended to the basement.
 Once there she lugged the still form (at least gas had worked on this
one. She hated to think about cleaning all that blood again) to the sling.
 She shifted the body onto the hammock of canvas and activated the lift.
 When it reached the just over the top of the covered tub she stopped it.
She slid back the lid exposing the oily liquid.
When she had started all of this She had told Mackie that it was for
disposing of materials which could not (orshould not) be found lest they
risk all. This was still true.
 The body slid in withhardly a splash.
 She felt tired.
Oh well, she had just enough time for a shower before she went tio the
auditions to look at that Linna girl.
