Chase had heard of the decker, but had never worked with him. The name was held in almost as much awe as the Denver data haven, of which FastHack was said to be a co-founder. It was also said that, as part of the old U.S. government's Echo Mirage project, he was one of the first deckers, ever, to fight the computer virus that swept the world's databanks in 2029. Chase knew that rumor wasn't true, however, because he knew the names of everyone at Echo Mirage. FastHack couldn't have been one of that group. Their fates were all accounted for.
