"One other thing I’d like to point out," Skater said. "You’re thinking the programming you’ve created that defeats the current passcoding on deltaware is going to remain that way. Once the megacorps find out it exists, they’ll put their best computer programmers to work figuring out new passcodes that can’t be beaten by your programming. When that happens, the programming you’ve invented now will be worthless. It might take weeks or months, Ripley, but it will happen and you’ll be free."
