The best kept secret at "5" was how you got a new identity. the north london book of the not quite dead was a list of reliable people who had accumulated decades of mathem and could provide a subset of it to anyone needing a new name/face, collection of postcards, convincing travel brochures, expired passports, driving licenses, theater and museum club membership etc etc
Json Bourne was in need of a new skin - his command line was completely exposed, and if he wanted to retain one iota of quantum supremacy, he needed to stop the supervillain known simply as "The Cloud"without giving away his whole herd of mastodon instances.
Json checked into the Assembly House where he new he could meet Gold or possibly if he was really lucky, Robert Smith, who could tell a tale or two, and certainly sang from the same hymnsheet.
He was in luck, and minutes later, with the help of ald pay phone, and a desguised vax emulator which really sucked, but still had some cycles left, he was able to bring down the Bad Guy.
SYS$SHUTDOWN had never rang so warmly, as Json, or Robrt as he was now travelling, set off down Kentish Town High St to pick up some of the pigs-in-blankets, who were playing later at the Fiddler's Elbow in support of the Pond Street flood relief fund.
