While Doug is getting holes poked in him, Kitty finds out about the hacker coup.
Kitty: *looks at printout*
Kitty: *stares, eyes widening*
Kitty: oh. my. God...
Jamie: *peers over her shoulder*
Kitty: *boggles*
Kitty: *splutters*
Jamie: *wrinkles nose* See? Gibberish.
Kitty: This... This is... *moans*
Jamie: Ancient Aramaic prophecies foretelling that the world will end in math?
Kitty: *moans* No... It's 256! Damn him!
Jamie: It's sixteen squared? *blinks* Wow. I knew that.
Kitty: No, no. It's 256-bit encryption. It's like... the holy grail of hackerdom.
Jamie: Oh. And he got it before you did. *hugs* Does it help that he gave himself a splitting migraine crunching it in his brain?
Kitty: He got it before, like, almost anyone. This is supposed to be uncrackable without a dozen supercomputers worth of processing power.
Jamie: *boggles* Okay, so the way he apparently did it in his head doesn't help at all then.
Kitty: No, not at all.
Jamie: Aww. He cheated. Used his mutant power instead of his computer power. That's what it was.
Kitty: Can I kill him to hide my hacker-shame?
Jamie: No, because then Angie will be all mopey and foretell doom. We could make him look like Chewbacca again? I bet I could rig speakers so everything he says comes out Wookiee, too.
Kitty: *sighs* No, no. If there is to be revenge, my hacker soul says it must be my revenge
Kitty: and it's not really fair to take revenge for his mutant power
Jamie: I'll just bake you extra cake when you can have cake. Chocolate makes things better.
Kitty: Yes, this sounds like a plan.
