"Can you transfer the file that we need to hack it to my computer?" Asks Nicole.
"You should concentrate on your job," says Johnny and opens the file on the laptop. "I'm trying now to hack this file."

"Fine, I will send you the file," says Johnny. "But promise me that you will still do your work tasks, okay?
"Okay."
Los Angeles Airport in the parking lot
Martha parks the car. She and Tom get out of the car and Tom opens the trunk. Tom begins to take out the suitcases.
A few dozen meters away is the man that is following them. He parks his car and calls.
"They arrived at the airport now," says the man.
"Okay, you can go back now," says the voice on the other end.
"You don't want that I will go in the airport and follow them?"
"No, I am canceling your mission," the voice says.
"But I can follow them without anyone noticing," says the man.
"The mission has been canceled," the voice says. "It can't be done in the airport."
"But ..." begins to say the man.
"I am paying you for doing what I tell you, not for arguing with me," the voice says. "Now go back to the base."
"Okay," the man says and hangs up.
The man sees that Martha and Tom get in the building of the airport. The man starts the car and drives towards the exit of the parking lot.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
