However, another hacker, JB “Defalt” Markowicz, infiltrates their system, steals the information and deletes it from their servers.
Pearce assaults Wade’s compound and downloads its server data, killing Wade when he confronts him. After meeting Pearce and having him complete several tasks for him, Kenney agrees to help decrypt the data.
When they come across encrypted data beyond Lille’s ability, she tells Pearce to find legendary hacker Raymond ‘T-Bone’ Kenney, who caused the Northeast blackout of 2003 while trying to expose the dangers of ctOS, which led to the system’s implementation. He and Lille discover that Wade has information on almost every citizen of Chicago, protecting his gang from the authorities. With the help of Clara Lille, a member of the hacking syndicate DedSec that is fighting against Blume, Pearce tracks down the second hacker-gang leader and Army veteran Delford ‘Iraq’ Wade-and obtains a data sample from Wade’s servers. After Pearce refuses, Brenks retaliates by kidnapping his younger sister Nicole, which forces Pearce to comply with Brenks’ demands. During his investigation, Pearce is approached by Brenks, who requests that he help him find the other hacker from the Merlaut job. After a fruitless interrogation about Vega’s contractor, he leaves Vega in the hands of his partner, fixer Jordi Chin. On the way, hitman Maurice Vega fires a gunshot which causes Pearce to crash the car Pearce’s niece Lena lapses into a coma and dies shortly after.Ī year later, Pearce tracks down Vega at a baseball stadium in Chicago’s Parker Square district.
Fearing for his family, Pearce drives them to safety in the guise of a surprise trip to the country. Brenks tries to find the hacker, giving himself and Pearce away. In October, hacker Aiden Pearce and his mentor and partner, Damien Brenks, conduct an electronic bank heist at the high-end Merlaut Hotel in Chicago and trigger a silent alarm set by another hacker. In 2012, Chicago becomes the first city in the world to implement ctOS (central Operating System) – a computing network connecting every device together into a single system, developed by technology company Blume.
