Daisy gets an alert on her phone checks the news and then does some research but it doesn't seem like his identity is public knowledge and while she might be an okay hacker she's not up for hacking the Justice League or government databases more likely to have that information.

Her fingers bite into her palms and she indulges in a small scream of frustration. She tells her boss about the attack and takes the rest of the day off to try doing more in depth research in the sources she does feel safe accessing.

The attack is long over by the time she gets his name and picture but Albert Michaels is slotted to die, to distance it a little from her other actions she puts down the cause of death as radiation poisoning with a follow up of organ failure if that doesn't work. Also to muddy the waters a bit and because he's not an active threat she schedules it for three days from now.

LexCorp seems to be doing some restructuring. There are indications that they're pivoting away from aerospace engineering and weapons manufacture, downsizing those divisions in favour of expanding their work in genetically modified crops. 

An anonymous source on the internet publishes an exposé of the Sunderland Corporation, including their contract with the DoD. It looks like they're buried under NDAs and exclusivity clauses to the point where trying to sell the results of their bioengineering research to anyone else, or even revealing it exists, could practically get them tried for treason. The direction of the research itself seems surprisingly harmless for that level of security: they're working on a way to alter plants to grow better in hostile and barren terrain. Reading between the lines of the paper trails, though, as this person has done, it's possible to work out that they've done some highly unethical human experimentation, which is probably what the DoD is trying to cover up. 

She's running out of companies on her list. On the one hand what's been done so far is pretty anemic but on the other hand it doesn't help at all for her to appear unreasonable. The question now is if she really wants to go through with killing government officials.

If she hadn't made the sort of progress she has it wouldn't be a question. But she has, and killing government officials was always less likely to be effective and more likely to provoke backlash.

Just stopping without a message is an option but it feels like weakness. She can't repeat the same way to send a message either though.

Without the protective barrier of the print shop sending a physical letter is too risky so it'll need to be an email. The public library is out too if anyone managed to backtrack to there they'll have exploited the same vulnerabilities she did to setup monitoring.

Maybe a different library would work though...

It takes a couple days but she manages to get remote access to the network of a library in a small town in California and plants a variant on her previous program there. She erases her footprints as best she can and just in case she does all the actual network work on a second hand laptop she bought with cash. And she uses the internet of a few different cafes. It's... still way too risky but there's only so far she can go, so many precautions she's capable of taking.

Eventually an email makes it's way into a few publications' inboxes a day before she would have killed.

To whom it may concern,

I am the individual responsible for the Tomorrow Letter. I am glad to say that the companies on my list have all at least paid lip service to my demands. The governments have not but I am not unreasonable and I understand that any actions they take must be more covert so as to not appear weak.

For the moment, I am pausing my killings but please know that I will be watching. If those who made public statements renege on those commitments I will once more take up my grim task.

May tomorrow be better for us all.

The letter is published. The public is cautiously relieved. Government spokespeople try to spin this as a victory for their 'no negotiating with terrorists' policy. 

Also, Wayne Tech would like to offer her the job! They want her to do her initial training in person, so they'd like her to come to Philadelphia for three weeks (again, all expenses paid), but after that, they can get her set up to work remotely from anywhere in the US. When can she start? 

... That's because it is a win for those policies. There's no real denying that much as it rankles.

As for the job offer she would love to take it. She's going to need another week to finish some knowledge transfer but she can start after that.

Excellent! Wayne Tech will expect her in Philadelphia on Monday. 

LexCorp continues its restructuring. The Sunderland Corporation and the DoD are bombarded with human rights lawsuits and protestors. Wayne Tech and STAR Labs haven't put out any further updates yet, but it's only been a few weeks. Queen Industries announces its latest model of Q-pod on schedule. 

This time she takes the Death Note with her. She goes to a craft store and covers over the rules and the cover to make it less obtrusive. She also gets a small piece of leather and pastes it so you need to undo a button to open it. Finally she covers over what she's written so far with some pasted in photos and similar.

Then on Monday she's a bit early, much better than risking being late on the first day.

The Death Note does not protest being disguised as a mundane diary. It travels along inconspicuously in her luggage to a nice hotel in Philadelphia. 

Onboarding at Wayne Tech ensues! They take a picture for her ID badge, make her sign some paperwork, get her set up with an account on the computer systems, etc.

There's a series of only mildly patronising Employee Safety videos she has to watch, the tedium of which is mitigated by the fact that someone in every video—never the same person twice—is dressed in a cheap Batman costume instead of regular office wear, and this is never remarked on. 

"Oh, we can skip this one," her training supervisor, a guy called Dave, says when the next title card says Supervillain Attack and Environmental Hazard Drills. "I keep telling HR to take that one off the list for employees based outside of Gotham. You're not gonna need to worry about a fear gas attack in Ohio, are you? I mean, especially not now Scarecrow's kicked it, but you know what I mean." 

"There was that attack by Atomic Skull recently. I hope it's an isolated incident but maybe Ohio is getting more dangerous. Though admittedly these videos aren't the most helpful. The Batman costume is a nice touch."

"Oh, sorry, I hadn't heard about the Atomic Skull thing. Hope everyone you know is okay."

He rolls with the change of subject. "And, yeah, looking out for Batman makes them a bit less boring to sit through, doesn't it? You know, someone said they got Mr Wayne himself to wear the suit for one of them! ...I'm pretty sure they were bullshitting me. It can be hard to tell with Gothamites sometimes." 

"That's cool if it's true, it's hard to tell from the outside how involved Mr. Wayne is with what goes on."

"I mean, he's not exactly a whiz with the programming side, but he likes to, you know, get a tour of all the offices when he comes for a site visit, shake everybody's hand and ask what they're working on... The Gotham office sees a lot more of him, for obvious reasons."

Dave shrugs.

"I think he's due to come next week, actually, so you'll get to meet him. He's a nice guy, knows enough about computers to know how much he doesn't know, sort of thing." 

She stomps on the part of her worried about the coincidence. 

"I wouldn't expect him to be a coder. even if he was an expert at one part of the company it would be a heck of a coincidence for it to be this one. And he isn't one of those CEO's who plays at being a polymath."

"It'll be interesting to see what he's like in person... a little intimidating too, seeing the CEO in my first few weeks."

"I mean, on the bright side, working from home you're not likely to meet him ever again?" Dave offers.

"But, seriously, he's a pretty chill dude, you don't need to worry too much about it." 

"I suppose that's true. I guess I'll just have to accomplish something really impressive if I want to meet him again. And thanks for the reassurance."
