Gilbert always knew Eunice was a brilliant coder -- probably one of smartest at the company where they both worked -- but this was next level! Creating software that swapping his brain into her body over an at-home dial-up connection? It was next level!
He wasn’t even angry about it, he simply saw it as a challenge to flex his own programming ability. After all, she was a good developer, but he could think of at least one better: HIMSELF!
Hacking through several key files, he almost laughed at how easy some of her security systems were to crack. But when he thought he had found a breakthrough into her code, he found a spreadsheet instead. It was a list of layoffs scheduled at the company. Eunice’s name was among them. He realized she had swapped with him out of self-preservation, and she had managed to outsmart him, too. What he thought was a path for getting his body back was actually her plan to show him this file. He knew she didn’t deserve to be laid-off, but to go to this extreme? There had to be a reason!
