[Sith War 2002] there is no death, there is the Code.

In utter shock he sat up. The memories faded into shadows. Looking
around he saw everything as through the code, streaming with data.
Behind him a figure, rather a code shadow of a figure, where he had just
landed, and below that a body, much like a mangled version of his own.
"Xiang Pi, I presume?"
"Jedi Hacker?"
"Yeah. So, you used to be Jades second?", being diplomatic for once.
"Yup. And if these memories I've seen are right, you've been a thorn in
her side."
"I've tried to be a thorn to every threat to liberty and decency. I
take it we're both dead?"
"As a doornail."
"Too bad. I've still got work to do." Nodding good day, the hacker
turned to seak the means for his resurection.
--------------------------------------------------
On a novice programmers workstation, a makefile gets an extra compiler
option set, revealing the source of a perplexing bug.
On the shaven wookies website, the wookie pictures gain hair in
stratigic places.
Recipies hosted on a porkinite server are reformed to healthy low fat
versions.
Across RASSM system, macarena MP3 files vanish, cronic bugs vanish. The
hackers favorite software is installed in place of its buggy counterpart.
On the Surly Punk, the hacker noted the date. Delivering a master
fireworks display, the ship depletes its torpedo supply.

Summary:
The hacker meets Xiang Pi ghost.
The Hacker is a ghost traveling from computer to computer searching for
one of his own systems. Along the way he's fixing 'problems' he finds.
His sense of direction, for now, isn't very good.

The _Sing When You're Winning_'s avatar laid down the telegram that
the butler had brought, lifted its pince-nez glasses, and rubbed the
bridge of its non-existant nose thoughtfully.
"Trouble?" asked the Man with the Golden Lightsaber, appearing in the
doorway with a shotgun broken over his shoulder, and a brace of dead
hares in his hand.
"Quite possibly," the _Sing_ nodded, sighing slowly as it took a slow
puff on its pipe. "I was worried that something like this might
happen. Take a look"
The Man took the paper, read it for a moment, there was silence. Then
he smiled.
"Could be trouble," he agreed. "Hack-Boy seems to want to be a Binary
Rakelle. But there are still some interesting possibilities here, I
think."
The ship offered a humourless laugh.
"That's what I was worried about."
