Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

The next day.

The first day of the five-day event had started, and the excitement was palpable among all the GAIA OS users.

As they were given the opportunity to experience the unreleased premium versions of the operating system for free.

This momentous occasion was met with great anticipation and fervor, as many people had long believed that the initial version of the GAIA OS was the pinnacle of its capabilities.

Despite numerous attempts by rival companies to replicate its features, the GAIA OS had remained unrivaled in its performance and functionality.

As users eagerly tried the premium versions of the operating system, they were amazed by the remarkable difference in performance and efficiency.

It quickly became apparent that the free version of the GAIA OS was merely a prelude to the impressive capabilities of the premium versions.

Users were left in awe as the premium versions of the GAIA OS exceeded all expectations and pushed the limits of what they believed their devices were capable of.

The first day of the five-day event had set the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Making sure that they are addicted to the experience they get from the premium GAIA OS, Ensuring that they will upgrade to it if they can get the same experience as long as they can.

Aron employed a tactic similar to that of drug dealers, whereby he provided potential customers with a free or inexpensive product to get them hooked before revealing the true cost.

This approach is often used to create a sense of dependency or addiction in buyers, ensuring that they are more likely to continue purchasing the product at the stated price once they are already invested.

...

"FUUUUUUCK" Said one of the engineers working on the task team tasked with cracking the GAIA OS at google.

The profanity came after he tried to see what the OS premium version had compared to the Original version.

It didn't disappoint at all, it even exceeded his already high expectations. With the premium version he could translate anything from any language without losing anything. This included sarcasm or jokes in the original language.

With just that feature borders were removed completely. A north Korean could talk with a Tanzanian in his mother language without having to worry about any context being lost during translation.

Gaia Technology with just one swoop made the translator's job useless. Damn I feel sorry for them.

While he was thinking about all of these his desk mate asked "What's wrong why are shouting all of a sudden?"

"Our job just got harder" He said as he handed over the phone to him "I think the task team is going to be disbanded soon" He added.

"Why?" Asked his desk mate.

"How many months have we been trying to crack the GAIA OS? We still haven't found anything at all. How the heck did they encrypt that program to the point our supercomputer are working endlessly and still can't crack but still be below 300mb"

His friend who was playing with the phone he handed over replied "I don't know if I knew I would have quit and started my own company. Looks like the workers at GAIA Technology don't know too"

"What do you mean?" He asked as he became curious. Why would they not know even though they were working there?

"We only learned that after one of the departments poached some of their workers from there, we discovered that even they didn't know the code and were only responsible for maintaining the servers for their services like BugZapper and nothing else.

They deduced that maybe the development team is somewhere else, they are still trying to find out where."

"Damn" said the engineer as he rested his back to the chair while sighing contemplating what he would do if they were fired.

....

The same things were happening in many companies.

...

Undisclosed location.

The scene was reminiscent of a high-stakes espionage film, as two cars sat side by side, facing opposite directions.

"You finally managed to get your hand on it?" Asked the man in a hat and gloves in his hand after lowering his window.

"As you know they delayed us using court and other things. They almost used all of their court given time limit" Chuck Hagel replied.

"Where is it?" Asked the man, cutting to the topic immediately not wanting to waste time.

"We are in a hurry aren't we?" Said Hagel smiling as he was looking through his bag for the hard drive.

"Getting cocky aren't we?" Said the man in hat cousin Hagel's mouth to stiffen.

"Just kidding, here it is," Said Hagel while handing over the hard drive after recovering, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Don't test my patience again. Understood?" Said the man while receiving the hard drive and handing Hagel a sealed document.

"Sure," Said Hagel while taking the sealed folder.

"Drive" Said the man to his driver after securing the hard drive in his bag.

The driver didn't even reply, he just pressed the accelerator and left the location in a professional way.

...

While they were on the way to their destination the man in the hat took his phone from the pocket and dialed a number.

After two beeps the call was answered.

"Did you receive the packet Kasim?" Said the voice on the other side of the call.

"Yes sir, I'm currently heading to the site to hand it over to the technical department at one of our black sites." Replied Kasim.

"While you are there send someone to look at what Rottem has been up to these days" Said the man on the other side of the call.

"Yes Sir" Replied Kasim while bowing his head a little.

After the call ended Kasim continued his journey quietly as he thought by himself.

After half an hour of non-stop driving in the wilderness, they arrived at a location surrounded by tall walls with electric wiring on top of them and cameras after every 100 meters, showing the importance of the location to anyone who laid their eyes on the outside security.

After going through security checks at the gates followed by a bomb check they were finally allowed to continue with their journey.

Their journey continued for about five minutes, until they arrived in front of a large building that had a giant satellite dish on the roof.

After entering inside he was greeted by rows and rows of people sitting in front of computers typing furiously like there is no tomorrow.

"Welcome!" Said the manager of the building.

"Here is the code you wanted." Said Kasim as he handed over the hard drive to the manager then he asked "when will your program be ready?".

The manager couldn't hide his excitement as he received the hard drive from Kasim.

"For us to modify the program to be able to look for weaknesses even without the source code, we will have to understand how it works first. So I can't give you a definitive compilation date. We will have to take a look first before we become confident enough to give a date."

The manager answered Kasim's question then added "Don't worry about us wasting time. Me and my team have been curious to find out how the program works, so we will make sure to accomplish the task the moment we uncover the mystery."

"Finish it as fast as possible" After saying those words Kasim left the building to go and complete his remaining task.

"See you!" Said the manager in excitement as he bid Kasim farewell and immediately headed to his office with the hard drive as fast as he could while making sure he didn't fall and destroy the hard drive.
