Chapter 04: Net-Dancin' Cowboy (HM) 4 HM

Hooded HackerYou've just become a hacker recently, right?

Hooded HackerJust like I thought.

Hooded HackerYou sure look green enough, but it's more about the Digimon programs you have. Does everyone in Hudie use those?

Hooded HackerNo kidding? And here I thought those guys liked to keep things old school. ...Guess people do change.

Hooded HackerHeck, they fell under Zaxon's beck and call before I even knew it...

Hooded HackerOops, sorry. We're here to talk about Jude, right?

Hooded Hacker...Jude was active several years ago. Digital Monsters hadn't been discovered yet back then.

Hooded HackerHackers would use tools they'd made themselves to do their hacking.

Hooded HackerAnd then there was Jude--the biggest hacker team.

Hooded HackerAt the very least, you've heard the name of their leader, right? ...Arata Sanada.

Hooded Hacker...Uh, well okay, then.

Hooded HackerJude wasn't just the biggest team, but the one with the most technical expertise, too.

Hooded HackerAnd their second-in-command was your leader, Ryuji Mishima.

Hooded HackerThat Arata Sanada guy had the skill, but... Well, let's just say he was a bit reckless.

Hooded HackerRyuji was his deputy of sorts, and always followed him around. Kind of like a...a big brother.

Hooded HackerThird-in-command was Chitose Imai. You know who I'm talking about.

Hooded HackerThat guy's always been good with people, and kept the friction down on such a big team. Like grease for a bunch of squeaky wheels.

Hooded HackerHe looks chill, and has a good eye for people. With him around, most arguments would work themselves out.

Hooded HackerSeveral other hackers on the team could assemble unique malware...

Hooded HackerIn other words, Jude had it all: productivity, mobility, you name it. ...Um, so they say.

Hooded HackerBut what made Jude a legend wasn't its size...

Hooded HackerIt was...the conviction they all shared.

Hooded HackerIt wasn't a hard-and-fast rule, mind you. It's just that, not one of them used hacking for evil.

Hooded HackerThey only acted to raise their skill, or just sate their curiosity.

Hooded HackerThe Under Zero business, too... I'd say they only broke in because they were that kind of people.

Hooded HackerYou haven't heard about "Under Zero"?

Hooded HackerIt's a core server that's existed since the start of EDEN. It contains all of the log data inscribed into EDEN up to now.

Hooded HackerIn other words...it's actually EDEN's greatest security fortress.

Hooded HackerTaking that fortress made Jude the strongest team in EDEN, both in name and deed.

Hooded Hacker...At least it would have.

Hooded HackerThat is...if that guy hadn't shown up...

Hooded HackerNo, it's... It's nothing.

Hooded HackerAnyway, Jude failed in conquering Under Zero, and then disbanded just like that.

Hooded HackerAll right, now it's your turn. Tell me what those guys've been up to la--

Hooded HackerDammit, not these guys again! Stop butting in!

Hooded HackerLet's beat 'em! These guys'll cause a real mess if we leave them alone. You must be pretty good if you're part of Hudie, right?

Hooded HackerGlad to hear it. I'm counting on you, kid!
