Venom: Legacy~GTP Fan Fiction

[Matty]

It reminds me of Pokémon.. In particular Team Rocket...

It just makes no sense to me.. Then again I'm pretty sure I'm not a robot...

 

[Akmuq]

It's more like French class to me. :|

Pretty sure? That's not very reassuring.

Man, I wish French Class thought mass computer hacking. I would move to France.

It might do, nobody knows....

Chapter two will probably come today or tomorrow.

This was a bit...what's the word...oh yes .

So this is what happens when someone bases their fic on an antivirus report.

This is kind of .. meh, I'll be looking forward to Omnis' replies, those were really amusing.

At one point (Chapter 2 or 3) it stops being fiction.

So is the creation of this thread the result of one watching some sci-fi movies, taking some strange substances and jumping on their computer clicking on icons they've never clicked on before in pure fascination and absolute euphoria, when an anti-virus report shows up on their screen like boom! Then one tries to connect this 'strange' anti-virus report to a life after human's fantasy? Which places one in hours of deep thought? If yes, then bravo. :clapclapclap:

So, you're going to write about things that are actually going to happen in 3500AD? Wow!

 

[gamerdog6482]

Yes. At least, that was the plan.

 

[Famine]

Then either this is going to be the greatest thread resurrection ever conceived of, or you have the world's first time machine - which would explain how you've racked up 4,229 posts in only two and a half months.

 

[JK83]

What did I just read

 

[Katiegan]

Close. But no. Ever see the movie "The Matrix"?

No. So, I'm guessing this is the same crazy fudge that's in The Matrix?

And you've completely lost me at the part where it becomes non-fiction. We're not certain it's non-fiction though, because we can't see into the future. Unless, of course, like Famine said, you've developed a time machine without telling anybody.

Or, you're writing fiction and telling yourself it's non-fiction. But you'll never know, because, unless you're Doctor Who, you won't live until 3500.

 

[gamerdog6482]

That actually pretty much sums it all up. And after recent consideration, I will not be writing any more. In the moth or so I was working on Chapter 2, I only had about three lines done. So...I would lock the thread but I can't.

Hows about changing that to posting? Please?

The catch about this fanfic is, you need to be knowledgeable at computer software, the processes etc. to understand it. It's like you're reading from the command line interface of a computer, too technical for the ordinary human being to understand

The first chapter is interesting, although, I didn't quite get this part, right at the beginning...

Boot completed. Press F11 for setup menu.
Error. Boot not completed. False start check failed.

how can a process end up NOT completed when it is already completed in the previous line? and also, what does "false start check" mean?

taunt.exe was the fourth try of getting around the anticoded spashtext.exe, both of which simply display text imputed by an external source.

And anticoding is a method of instilling onto the OS certain processes to automatically end if they are ever started; splashtext.exe was used for hacking a lot before the event so it was anticoded. Four attempts were made to bypass the anticoding, but only taunt.exe actually worked.

Malwarebytes had capitalized all other anti-malware software building companies (including buying the rights to MSE and Winodows Defender) in 2238. Ever since that, only one other program was created, but it wasn't free like MBAM is.

you should compile these bits of info in one page, y'know, as a database or glossary or something.


P.S. please do continue writing it

I find it interesting. but the catch is, you need to be knowledgeable at computers to understand it, it's too technical for the ordinary human being to understand

it's like you're reading from the command line interface of the main computer.

That is exactly what it is. TUI (Text user interface) of the only human-interface computer in the entire network.

More worldbuilding alert.
What happens is the computer is always "on", an a sense. Instead of turning the computer "off" which would kill trillions of people, they turn off the operating system. The operating system is then started again, using the process venom.exe. That process was terminated as it started, causing all this to happen.


But that was a common problem, and developers got around it by creating the false start check, which is always running and makes sure venom.exe isn't terminated.

so the BIOS is keeping the computer "on", and is the one that re-boots the real OS. I see.

the taunt.exe shows the "evil personality" of the computer, yes?

In the world of this fanfic, define "false start".

From earlier in this thread:

Attempting to reboot the OS: starting the required process(es), and then having them get terminated. FSC was the only thing stopping that.

you mean to say that someone was able to hack into the main computer?

oh I see.

 

[gamerdog6482]

That's what Chapter 1 said, yes. Someone hacked the computer that is in charge of trillions of human lives.

It now makes perfect sense LOL so this supposed hacker is talking to the computer via the taunt.exe, and the hacker now seems to be the bad guy.

Edit: how do I set up spoiler text?

Not quite...the hacker is talking through the computer, to the reader. Which is 2nd person in a nutshell.

You put this:
[SPOILER][/SPOILER] around the test you want to hide.

Learn from the best mate.

ah! Like the Animorphs gamebooks, right?

Spoiler

From what I can tell, the hacker is going to mess up the world created by the computer, and the focus of the story will shift to someone who's inside the "Matrix", and will get to experience the sudden changes made by the hacker.

Spot on. 👍
And it would, if I was going to writ more, which I'm not.
