Prologue: The Hacking Incident... uh, "Accident"
Celtic_Minstrel on Dec. 5, 2008
Just two more pages of prologue before the start of Chapter 1! This means that Chapter 1 will begin on January 3.
I don't expect any delays due to Christmas. If such do occur, I'll still try to make sure I update as scheduled.

...He's not [i]telling[/i] anything. The headmistress is telling the story from her point of view, and we're seeing his flashback of it. So what we see is exactly what happened. The school wasn't even aware of the existence of that program. All they know is that the logs in the marks database include three entries giving ridiculous marks entered for (probably) nonexistent course, entered by whatever his school username is (probably something like "flempete"). Naturally, they assumed the worst â especially considering that [i]twice[/i] they have previously caught him attempting theft. Also, the time between these three events is fairly long â on the order of months. These things did not happen one right after the other. They happened over the course of the school year. Though I can see how that's not really made clear.

Wow. What a run of bad luck. Assuming he's telling the truth.
