Equipped with a multi screen computer system with a DS-3 connection that can access seven networks simultaneously; Gabriel needs a good computer hacker that can create a hydra cyber worm (a multiheaded worm that sniffs digital footprint across a vernam encrypted network) to hack the 9.5 million account and steal it from the government.
