Some cold air seeped in between the door and the bank of servers. The coolness allowed for the various components to normalize. Lisa already looked calm despite the attacks on her systems.
The coders had jumped into action and permitted no further disturbances. But shecstill had to worry about copycat attacks.
“What is the function of the ones on your end?” she asked Entrepreneur Paul.
“We have fifteen currently banging energy drinks to ensure that the seal on your company’s computers remains tight.” His reassurance seemed platinum in her mind. It helped that they had been friends and when things got sticky, they bonded together with agility and grace.
Lisa already spent a good piece of her own fortune on vouchers for those affected by the infiltration. She knew she would have to spend it some way and that this would be the most selfish and righteous thing to do.
In the moments following the attack, Entrepreneur Paul also upped the pay of those on the digital firing line. For him to use his billions meant he had been self-interested, too.
Loreen shook her head. “You’re a master,” she intoned.
“I know, I was just thinking that,” Entrepreneur Paul mentioned.
Loreen straightened as if to return a salute to a young field officer. “You saved Lisa’s business.”
“You didn’t do too bad yourself,” Atkinson replied. “If you hadn't suggested I grab my coders, this could have ended horrifically for her. I’m proud of my team. I’m sure she’s going to snag a few of my guys and put them on her team. I don’t mind.”
“I know I need to re-educate my roster,” Loreen added. “They are veterans in the game and know not to get lazy. Some of them, though, I know need to get some diamond parachutes.”
“True.”

White trailers floated through space. Like giant cigarette cartons, they zoomed over the land. Felton Sheltham controlled the boxes with a precision and grace befitting a conductor of a symphony. He felt the power of the large drones flying, zipping, dashing everywhere. By checking his monitors, he became enamored with the whole process. Huge drones carried the weight. They looked like flying spiders, eight legs hugging the boxes ranging in colors of blue and neon green to match those of the shipping company that Sheltham oversaw as supervisor in chief. He wore a starched white shirt with midnight blue trousers. Short sleeves exposed his massive biceps.

Hobbies The Ongoing Cycle
When we think about the hobbies we do in life do we think about how long hobbies last and what they are? Do we think of them as being a cycle of some sort in order to live the life that we want to live? Living life through doing hobbies is a cycle in and of itself isn’t it? It is and the reason for this is, hobbies are what gives life variety and fun, the more fun and variety you have with your hobbies the more cycles come throughout them. The more we do the hobbies we enjoy the more we live the life we want to live. This means the more we get out of life too. Which means the more we do the same thing over and over again, or at least I do. When I do hobbies, usually I am doing the same hobby over and over again throughout my life because it is a way that I relax. Now not everyone does this when it comes to their hobbies but some of us do. Some of us do hobbies so much in our lives that they feel like a cycle is being done that is never ending.
