It was a nice day by Heiko's standards. It was about mid 60's in temperature. A slight breeze that wasn't over bearing. Modest cloud cover dotted the sky. It was a good day. However Heiko didn't have much in terms of plans but one thing was for certain he wasn't going to let this day go to waste. Rather than being locked up in his dorm room tethered to the constraints of the electrical outlets the young shadow attuned student decided to take his endeavors outside. A couple of hours in the fresh New York air couldn't hurt much.
With his laptop stuffed under one arm and a large computer networking book under the other Heiko pushed his way out of room 101 of Stanford Hall and the building shortly after. Heiko wasn't going to stray to far from the building unless there was a miraculous outlet that he could plug in to some where. Well he was going to get his bit of fresh air at the very least.
Making his way down the walk way to Stanford Hall's main entrance Heiko picked a bench that was on a connecting walk way that led to the other dorms but was still in clear sight of Stanford. Placing the networking book on the bench Heiko took a seat on the nicely kept wooden bench then proceeded to place the laptop in his lap. Opening up the portable computer the screen stayed black until Heiko's right index finger crossed the touch pad bringing the screen to life. It came to the traditional computer locked screen and prompted the young man for his password. His fingers quickly bounced across the keyboard entering the necessary characters for him to gain access to his personal device.
Pushing the laptop forward slightly Heiko brought the large computer networking text book in to his lap flipping it open to the page he had marked off. The thing with computer networking was that it was constantly evolving, much like technology, so Heiko constantly needed to be reading up on the newer things that were in development in security if he needed to be on top of his game. While having Zeph around made getting in to restricted networks, computers, and so on, a monumentally easy task Heiko needed to be on top of it as well for his own purposes. What purpose exactly Heiko had no idea him self. It was more so just a passion and the challenge more than anything. 90% of the information he and Zeph had dug up Heiko had little interest in. Sure, they could easily start a world war with all the info the stumbled on but the odds of the two getting the motivation to do was was slim to none.
Pulling up a few more programs on his computer the screen started to clutter with a series of virtual interfaces mimicking routers, switches and computers on a network to anyone who could understand the mass of gibberish that was covering the young man's screen.

Type, type, type. Click, click. Enter.
Username or password not correct
Off all times to happen! Her fingers graced the keyboard once more as she typed in the same information. Flustered, frustrated, and stressed, Wilhelmina's only form of release (while Adelinda was not there) was being a complete ass, screwing her over. Almost there, but not. It's not like she paid for this stuff, but urgh, all her things were bookmarked on there.
“Forgot password? Where are you...?” She frumped over, as she leaned back on her bed. No where. Where the hell was that stupid button?! Pillow thrust on her head, she screamed before closing the lid of the laptop down, not caring to look at it right now. It had taken her an hour previously to get on – and still no luck. Going to Information technology was not an option. The stares she would get, the humiliation of what it was. All that pressure was going to hit her face.
Wilhelmina sigh, throwing the pillow across the room. Yanking the cord out of the outlet, she twirled it around the laptop before leaving the darkened room. Before leaving, she patted her pocket. “Phone, ID, keys.” Double checking her belongings in order to get around campus, Wilhelmina affirmed she was ready.
Door swinging open, light poured into the room and straight on her face. “Ahh... Too much light.” Her eyes squinted, trying to adjust to the new surrounding. Going to the left lead to the quad; to the right, it lead to the boy's only dorm. Going straight meant going to Stanford Hall. Yet the atmosphere was irking her.
This is way too quiet...
Then a beep, a boop, and a couple clicks. Glancing down, Wilhelmina hoped it was hers. But that charcoaled piece of shit did nothing, only its lights saying it was still on. Of course. “Fuck you too.” She whispered. The laptop growled back with its fan. An intense struggle between owner and machine.
But if there was beeping and booping, it meant someone was here. Maybe they would be tech savvy. Or not. Wilhelmina pumped up her free hand before hitting her chest – a little too hard. “Ow.” Shrugging it off, she stepped into one hallway before going to another one. Leading to Stanford, there seemed to be a ball of black sitting down with a computer.
“Target sighted.” Her machine growled as it was affirming. Yet she was going to be smart. Maybe if she creeped long enough, the person, who looked a little like a girl, would notice her. “Creeper mode activated.”

"Lets see... if I change this OSPF process it does this to the area zero network..." Heiko's hands were moving around the keyboard firuously, taking a few seconds break to move the mouse cursor around the multitude of virtual machines he had in the background. "Let's put EIGRP here and see what that does." The young man murmured to him self. With all his routing protocols in place Heiko dug around in the book that he brought out side. His fingers flipped around to multicasting. Setting the book open on the bench next to him Heiko rubbed his hands together as his eyes red the pages content. That was until something else caught his eye, specifically a person. More than a handful of people had passed Heiko already and they paid no mind to him so far but there was something about this woman that made Heiko stop what he was doing. Barely moving his head up Heiko stared down the woman for a second before glancing to the left and right looking for any context of what was happening, although to no avail.
Bringing his head up right he looked at the girl and flat out asked: "Can I help you or are you just going to stand there like a damn creeper." He could the computer that the girl had in her hands. That didn't bode well. Especially since Heiko had absolutely no idea who she was. He would find out his answer in a moment though. He would just have to hang tight and see what she wanted.

Wait, did he just see her and call her out? Wilhelmina furrowed her eyebrows. Assface just had to see her standing there, not even making a peep. This guy was either really good or knew the way of the creepers much too good himself for he too could have been the master of all creepers. Squinting her eyes, the youngin' made no noise as she moved out from her spot in the corner.
“If you mean the creeper that goes 'hisss' and than KA-BOOM! I am not one of those.” She stated as a matter-of-factually. Although that would be awesome as fuck if I could do that and regenerate. Computer still in her arms, she inched her way forward until she found an overly plush chair to sit in before her bum sunk further down into it. Struggling out of the chair, it was time to be serious. If Wilhelmina kept this up, her computer may never have been fixed since he'd probably just leave.
Clearing her throat, the freshman stuck her computer out in front of her. “I seem to be having a problem logging into one of my accounts on my computer. I've tried every single thing I could do.” What she would not tell him was what it was for. “Uh, you looked like you were fairly good with these things, even if mine is a piece of shit. And I... um... thought you could help.” Big grin and a scowl at the computer. “I...” Oh, she was going to regret this so much. How she could do this, Wilhelmina would never know. “I can pay you some money if you...” No, it was happening. “Fix it....please.” Her inner self cried at the fact she was offering money to get something fixed, but dire times called for desperate measures.
And the fact that him helping her fulfill a joy that was on a computer was a dire time indeed.

"If you mean the creeper that goes 'hisss' and than KA-BOOM! I am not one of those.”
The response that Heiko was given by the creeping girl caused a bit of interesting image due to the pop culture reference, needless to say the internal raging from that particular visualization only lasted a brief moment. However it was a better way of going about it rather than taking offense, so for Heiko that was a plus. Taking the computer she held under her arm the girl extended her arms, with the device in hand, towards Heiko.
“I seem to be having a problem logging into one of my accounts on my computer. I've tried every single thing I could do.” Heiko was informed and it was quite clear what the girl wanted when she pushed her computer outwards towards him. “Uh, you looked like you were fairly good with these things, even if mine is a piece of shit. And I... um... thought you could help." Heiko kept his composure externally but within his own mind he rolled his eyes and told him self. I can't imagine what gave you that idea.
This girl was desperate to get her laptop fixed. She offered monetary compensation for the service Heiko could provide. While Heiko didn't have any financial issues a few extra bucks couldn't hurt. Still he had to see exactly what was wrong with this computer in the first place. If she really locked her self out of a computer, well Heiko had a way around that and it honestly was a stupidly simple fix that he didn't need to charge fifty plus bucks for.
"Alright, let me see that." Heiko said closing his laptop, placing it off to the side, and taking the girl's computer. Setting the portable computer in his lap Heiko opened it up to a dark screen. Grazing the tip of his middle finger over the touch pad he reactivated the screen to see that everything was in working order with the computer. The issue wasn't with her computer that was for certain. "Wait, so what exactly is wrong with it. You're logged in right now?"
