Ami asked:

     I was sitting huddled in the spotlight, spending my last few 
moments in its warmth while the Chosen Ones huddled around the Producer, 
when I realized I was being watched.  I looked up just as a someone 
stepped from the darkened house to the edge of the spot shining brightly 
onto the barren stage.  Nice shoes, I thought.

Ami:  Has this scene been used somewhere before?  It looks very familiar
as if I'd read it somewhere else, but I'm not sure where...Had part of
this story been posted as a draft before?

     "So you need a hacker to help you take Genom down?"
     "That's not what I said, Romanova-san."
     "No, but it's what you meant."  I grinned.  I loved putting people 
off-balance, and this lady was no exception: the look on her face was 
priceless.  Now, to find out what she was really after.  "Why me?" I 
asked, my question echoing her expression.
     She just sat there for a minute, as if she was considering 
something.  Then she sighed, and said, "Of those who managed to crack 
the code embedded in my electronic message, you are one of the few who 
met the additional requirements necessary for the position."

Ami:  This scene looks quite familiar too.

CCfH: Yes, they were posted in draft back in November.  The 4th, actually.
I hid the negatives, so no one can blackmail me with them  ^_^



Thanks for the MSTing, Dread Space Pirate Bailesu, Mizuno Ami (The helpful
commentator), and Fargo(don't let your cameo appearance go to your head,
Fargo, or you'll end up in one of the co-author's Leon-land  ^_^)
