Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Chaos Program

Alexander eventually turned his attention to other things and could only grimace at Sandra's extreme thoughts. Having roleplay sex about malfunctioning codes was not appealing to him at all. "This is different from what you're thinking about and I may be busy for the next couple of days or so... however, it was a fun time, Snipe."

Sandra could only lament that her youth and beauty didn't get through with the man in front of her.

Even though he was way older than her, he was way too attractive for her with his face, money, and skills.

She wasn't kidding when she confessed that he would be her first and last gold-digging target.

Unfortunately, things don't go as planned and their week of fun was the biggest surprise she had from him.

"Well." Sandra exalted herself from her little thoughts and extended her hand. "It was fun while it lasted."

Alexander amused at her handshakey way of a break-up and reciprocated back with a shake while saying obscurely. "Maybe this won't be the last."

"Maybe..." She beamed at that and trotted out of the store with a doe strut of jovial steps.

Alexander followed her out the door and saw her back as she marched along. Whether he can continue a relationship or not with her was not a priority on his mind as the mess on his second-floor needs a reason and conclusion.

He took the time to flip the open card by the door to show close. Something tells him that what he is about to attempt is not to be disturbed.

The distance from his computer desk and bed is just perfect and his next batch of work would be focused on his custom CPU box.

CD/DVD players, floppy receivers, and USB ports are the terminals to make what is about to happen, happen.

"I hope I'm right." He muttered while he inserted the first drive which initiated his billion character code sequence to interchange.

His newly acquired interchanger bug from Jessica's animation software was perfect for the occasion.

The rest of the interchangers followed suit as Alexander saw on the monitor how his outline of sensical and nonsensical commands was jumbling along.

Their green font conveyed their safeness and as they interchanged and overlapped one another, red fonts began to appear.

Red and green fonting sequences were just his simple program to identify what's right and what's wrong.

The ever-increasing reds meant that there is a whole lot of wrong.

Normally, the computer would crash at this point but Alexander strategically and timely inserted the storage drives that held the 'specials'.

Some special malfunctions generate random characters and these special randomizers, along with the interchangers, ballooned the 1 billion characters and 1 million commands further.

In a way, they malfunctioned into the needed simulator that Alexander needed to automatically boost the manual process.

The specials weren't anything that special altogether. The computer kept still because of a special malware that wouldn't allow its infected computer to crash or shut down.

That cost him money to procure but it was all worth it to see his monitor displaying the terrifying reds interchanging among the greens.

New commands, new malfunctions, new troubles began to form as the computer CPU struggled to keep up.

Alexander can more or less tell how the computer wanted to die but couldn't die.

He decided to help his computer slightly and defeat the single on-er on the special group with the 'off-ers'.

They were with quantity but a delicate balance has already been made in the program so they just sank in the green-red pandemonium of new malfunctions and abnormalities. Perhaps the off-ers only served to boost the offers as it made the unstableness of the set-up to become stable.

As of now, the computer is somewhat immortal after the torture of not dying when it wanted to.

Next on his agenda was to mix up the penetrators and deleters.

Penetrators are those that destroy firewalls and protection softwares, which are perfect as Alexander can see how the wild program is generating protection mechanism on its own as it churns out malfunctioning commands while it interchanged and blended together.

The penetrators are only aiders as the true ace on the mix was the deleters.

As the chaotic program continues to form glitches and new faulty commands, the deleters would delete whatever it could delete.

All the while, the interchanger would also interchange the deleters and form a new and complicated batch of deleters in the mix.

Alexander did this calculated and somewhat random Computer Lab experiment to make the most chaotic sequence of codes he ever saw.

"Natural order can't call on natural chaos when it is ordering chaos into chaos itself." He smiled with pride as he looked into the monitor that reflected the imperfect but perfect mess inside the computer's cyberspace.

Appreciation and reflection was the best method to sink this moment in but Alexander had to stop as he saw something that made him shiver in fright.

It wasn't a ghost or a monster or the fact that the CPU box was releasing sparks or the fact that he noticed how the store appliances blinked on and off.

His fear was because of the dancing characters that floated off from the monitor.

3D projection still hasn't existed and he knew his buffed computer can't achieve such a feat, so it was frightening how the screen beckoned forth characters in the air.

It interchanges green and red against a dark background and enticed him.

"It's like a monster of black mass with interchanging green and red tattoos." Alexander didn't know how he had the time to make an apt description but he said it nonetheless.

He could feel this chaos monster of codes eyeing him and the only thing standing between him and being devoured was the monitor that housed the beast.

Alexander's mind churned fast as he looked towards his last drive carrying the rarest malfunctions- the destroyer.

In a way, the destroyer is the upgraded version of deleters. It wipes every piece of cyber in the computer that it becomes a body without a soul.

His instincts kicked fast as he slotted the single destroyer floppy disk into the floppy drive. He inadvertently looked into the chaos monster to convey his usual smirk of triumph.

Alexander could feel the chaos look back at him and after seconds of their staring competition, he knew that he messed up.

"Why use a destroyer against a chaotic program that is already churning out more destroyers than I could produce?" Alexander smirked in defeat and late realization but switched to a smile of victory as he communed to the chaos monster. "It seems that my foolishness has results after all and it turns out to be you."

The chaos monster had no reply as it only amalgamed darkness and its tattoo of red-green characters glowed.
