IN> Andre's Dongle

[William Keith]

I have just gotten finished ASSIGNING DOOM AND FORTUNE, i.e. inputting 
grades for my students, and there's a security key system involved, for 
the obvious reasons.  Thought of this and had to get it off my chest.  
Mature innuendo abounds (well... as mature about sex as Lusties get), 
although I technically avoid using any dirty words.

Huh.  The Demon Prince of Lust certainly never expected *that*.

Apparently, sufficient snickering has gone on in human information 
security circles that, with significant stretch of his Word harmonics, 
Andrealphus can now empower a technological relic that functions as a 
physical key to any computer system that requires one.

Andrealphus' Dongle (snicker) is a male half (chortles grow louder) of 
a passkey system, which grants backdoor access (muffled giggling in 
background) whenever inserted (Servitors of Lust turn red with the 
effort to not interrupt) into the receiving port (effort breaks down 
completely) of such a system.

(Pause for Servitors to catch their breath)

If another password is normally required, the Lustie can either obtain 
it elsewhere or spend an Essence to fake any additional manual or oral 
input required (the latter, while acceptable technique, is generally 
considered less stylish among Catamite observers).  The Dongle is a 
Superior-level relic which, though not summonable, can easily be broken 
physically if theft is attempted.  Andrealphus will be aware of this 
and able to create a new one (apparently, there's only one of them).  
It tends to be assigned to important missions: it's rather a conceptual 
reach to create and requires a lot of Essence on Andre's part, so he 
wants return on his investment.  Suitable as a somewhat unexpected tool 
for Lusties spying, one of the jobs they're decent at.
