Echelon Conspiracy Page #5

Synopsis: Max Peterson is a globe-trotting techno-whiz who installs security systems on computers. He receives an anonymous gift: a phone which sends messages that enable him to win at a casino. Max soon finds himself pursed by hit men, the casino's security chief, and a CIA operative. Who's sending Max messages? Previous recipients of similar windfalls have ended up dead. After a couple of close scrapes, Max realizes he's in danger, so he tries to find out the root of the conspiracy - which seems to have access to every security camera in the world - before he's the next victim. Why is this happening to him, and who can he trust?

What if I don't get three?

Well, then we wait until we do.

And just keep following their

instructions.

Whateverthey say?

Why do you even care?

It's not your money.

I'll look right into that.

Whoa, what do you mean abort?

Let's go, Peterson.

Hey, don't turn off the phone!

Come on.

This is bullshit. What am I

supposed to tell my boss?

What do I care?

Tell him it's classified.

Classified.

That's not gonna satisfy him.

Well, there goes your job.

Again.

What's going on?

This is about Echelon, isn't it?

You always had a big mouth.

You should keep it shut.

Both of you.

What's Echelon?

It's NSA's central computer.

It filters all global

communication.

Wait a minute. So, whoever's

sending the messages...

...is using the NSA?

Exactly.

Echelon's been compromised.

Find out what the hell's going on.

I don't show any

unauthorized access, sir.

Somebody got in. I want to know

how they did it and who it was.

Well, I can monitorthe inputs.

If someone's remotely manipulating,

we'll see it in real-time.

Do it.

It's gonna take me some

time to reconfigure the...

Just do it! Now!

Well?

It can access any security

system on the planet.

I know what Echelon's capable of.

I need to know who

can hack into it.

Well, someone with some
