But seriously, this was absolutely gripping.

Nice story! (Now you've got me thinking, a Jackal hacker would be a cool RP character, hmmm...)

This was absolutely captivating. The only complaint I have here is that there isn't more (yet)!

Submitted

good pacing and sequencing, I very much enjoyed this. More Het adventures in the future?

Developer

Pretty sure, yeah. Want to build a dwarf firefight squad and fleshed out the characters, so if I get around to it I want a short story focused on each of them eventually. :)

Ouch, guess being a furry cyberspace surfing Jackassal doesn't always pan out if your desire for street cred cool factor and gloating stop you from getting it done. Dang. Kind of was expecting the Jackal to hack Het's armour and make it inject dose after dose of stimulants into her til she popped.

Loving this, since that's exactly a hacking attack I wrote for a custom Cyberpunk pen and paper I halfway created for my group last year. :D

I really enjoyed the twist you put on the theme. I will avoid spoilers though, and simply say: well done!

This was awesome! Great job.

Very punky, I like it. The blow by blow did take up a lot of space, that could have been used to establish the jackal. That would've cut out a nicely choreographed fight though, so I'm okay with that.

Developer

Yeah the jackal as a character was almost an afterthought and I just tried to flesh him out at least a tiny bit when I realized that I hadn't really mentioned him at all. The way to get to him was definitely the priority.

I loved every minute of this. Are you a farmer because you are  Outstanding in your field!
