You fight back.
You code a purge script.
Wipe your metadata.
Lock down your IP.
Erase your presence line by line.
The screen flickers as your cursor blinks in the final prompt:
DELETE_SELF(Y/N)?
You type Y.
Suddenly—everything pauses.
You see yourself.
On screen.
On loop.
Typing Y over and over again.
“You thought you were the hacker?”
A new folder opens:
/backups/you_002.exe
“We cloned you the moment you forwarded that email.”
Now there’s two of you online.
One is compliant.
One is you.
Guess which one gets to keep your face?
