Restart 0026 — Description
A very tight, fun series of events here, and Shade's reaction is fun - she doesn't know what to think back there. Eli is trying her best to fight back by being smart. Was the resume thing a trick by Eli to make Relay just as culpable in hacking the drone? Eli knows all too well about the danger of Relay's automatic updates, so that may be another weapon she is using in this fight - she knows those will auto download and apply.

At the root of it, Eli is just trying to get Relay's help in wiping the drone's logs - but does she need to? Could she do this herself? Smart readers will notice another layer to this all and I am starting to wonder if Eli isn't social hacking Relay to make her more cooperative - without brute force hacking Relay's systems.

There is also turning out to be a difference between local communication between connected devices (like WiFi) and this new "long range" communication the drone needs and Relay is using now to phone home (like a Cell network). This will be explained further but I wanted to mention it now in case people wonder what the difference is.

And Ghost Jesus is back. I love Eli's fun-house mirror view of religion. It is respectful while still pointing out the absurdity of the notion of faith and spirits in Eli's mind.
