"True, true." agreed Paul, then he offered, "I could search the administration's Secrenet."

"How on Regenis 4 can you do that, it's so secure and locked up with encryption, you'd be detected in a matter of milliseconds." asked Ed.

Paul pointed out, "Every system has a back door and weakness and the Secrenet is no exception. A mate of mine cracked it a few months back and gave me a copy of the routine to get beyond the encryption ring and security hurdles. But I must make sure she's not using her copy as two can't run at the same time, otherwise we'd be detected in the drop of an Apsicon seed. I'll just contact my mate." Paul switched to the visicall screen and called his academy pall. "Hi are you visiting George this morning?" The rather attractive girl on the screen replied that she had no intention of visiting George all day, so Paul could stay all day if he needed to. Paul asked if anyone else was likely to visit. She assured him that he was the only other one with George's address. Paul thanked her and switched back to the Galcomnet. "OK lets go in" he confidently announced.

Ed remarked, “Hey Paul you dark horse you, never told me anything about that little beauty.”

Paul replied, “What Felicity, she's just a mate, she's dating one of those athlete types from another academy.” Then Paul turned his attention to searching the administration's most secret areas.
