Why this must be read:
Back in the good old days of 1997, before AIM, there was (and still is) Usenet and Internet Relay Chat, which became popular when college students discovered chatting.
Imagine, if you will, that Mr. Waverly has decided that instead of having briefings in his office, he is going to have Virtual Briefings by Chat. As a result, Thrush is now trying to break into the chatroom and access UNCLE's secrets. Illya is assigned to create a virus to infect Thrush, and Napoleon is put in charge of the firewall.
Which is immediately breached by Angelique, leading to some heated words all around.
The entire "affair" is conducted in "chat-speak" and it's fun to read. While Angelique is trying to talk to Solo, side chats are going on, people are being kicked, and emoticons are substituting for words.
xxXAngeliqueXxx: >:(
@SoloEmperor: Anyway, how'd you get in here? This is supposed to be a private chat...
xxXAngeliqueXxx: Nothing's impossible with Thrush.
TheRussianGourmet: Except common sense and decency.
xxXAngeliqueXxx: You're a rude little bastard, you know that?
TheRussianGourmet: Been there, done that, got the shirt *and* the postcard. *yawn*
