Cover The Sundering
The Sundering
Walter Jon Williams
Genres: Fiction
Her primary identity, the Jill Durmanov who inhabited the cozy apartment in Grandview, had been so thoroughly compromised by the Military Constabulary that Sula decided to make Jill Durmanov less substantial. Durmanov was the proprietor of the company that owned crates of cocoa and coffee, and Sula altered the records to make the proprietor Lucy Daubrac, the woman who lived in the communal apartment in Riverside. Sula made the change retroactive: Lucy had always owned the company, and Sula back...dated the company itself, changing the record to indicate that it had been in existence for twelve years.
While she was at it, she had the Records Office send password updates to Lucy’s hand comm, not to Jill’s.
Change the key, change the lock. And write on the lock the words “This has always been the lock.”
The next night she was back in the Records Office computer. She had realized that if another intrusion into the executive file were detected, or something else went amiss with the file, it would be reloaded from a backup and she’d have to act fast so as not to lose her access.
