JUNGWOO.
━━ ◤ “more than likely, yeah.” he chuckles with a nod of his head. "but being paranoid is apparently working in their favor, is it not?“ jungwoo asks, eyes scanning over the screen once more. god, he truly didn’t understand a thing that was going on when it came to the things flashing before his eyes. "i haven’t had a night like that since i was in high school. learned that any amount of sleep is better than none at all.” he shrugs, though he does know where they’re coming from.. he used to be like that himself.
“everything has to have wires somewhere, especially if it’s plugged into the wall. means there is something somewhere that could be unplugged, right?” jun asks with a grin, wiggling his brow at artemis in a playful fashion. "uh.. i don’t think you believe that considering you and i both know that it could eventually lead to you being unable to do your job well. so therefore, i think they would do something like that over something so 'petty’.“ the male counters, though he’s merely still teasing the other. "you just yawned a moment ago, i don’t think your body would allow it even if you did want to just to be able to spite me.”
artemis shrugs , then says , quietly , “ we’ll see about that . ” they don’t want to admit that jungwoo is right , that would feel too much like defeat — and it would be an admission that they’re not unstoppable , which is something artemis really doesn’t feel like facing right now . the kumiho has always been their escape from the crushing feeling of inadequacy — they will stave off the destruction of their safe haven by any means necessary . no matter how unhealthy .
artemis shakes their head , partially in genuine exasperation . “ well , yeah , it has wires inside it , but– look , unless you really want to go searching through my junk for the wall plug , just leave it . ” they’re being unnecessarily harsh , particularly given that jun has their best interests in mind — but the hacker just wants to finish what they started before they rest . “ body can shut the fuck up , then . i’m busy . i don’t need sleep , and not sleeping won’t kill me — not yet , anyway . ”

TITUS.
❝ well, for one, there’s nothing like a little boom to start your day. ❞ titus’s chest shakes with a silent huff of laughter, the corner of his mouth curving up into a sly smile as he feigns reading the useless words in front of him. ❝ and for another, we’re always so secretive. nothing like getting a little reaction every now and then. ❞ the macgyver lets out a yawn, dropping his head back against the leather chair as he eyes artemis from the corner of his gaze. ❝ it’s my job to help people make noise as well as keep quiet. can’t blame a little entertainment when i’m in the workshop nearly all week. ❞ a click of his tongue and titus is dropping the reading material onto the middle table, a sigh of boredom falling out of his lips. ❝ yeah, well, you aren’t wrong. at this pace he’ll be out of range before your shit hits 50%. ❞ glancing over to their computer screen, the macgyver begins to make a ‘tsk tsk’ sound, finger raising to gesture side to side in a negative manner. ❝ people who can’t afford LTE, and apparently you? ❞
“ a boom sounds entertaining , but draining his bank account and corrupting his email would be hilarious to watch . especially since i can pull up a video feed from the camera . ” artemis punches in more code , searching for a better network which can maintain their connection to the man’s phone . “ listen , it’s easier to hack someone if you’re on the same network as them — there’s less walls to break through . and for another , uploading something is dependent on the network speed . but seriously , we’re in south korea , not australia , it should be faster than this . ” they grin with satisfaction as their virus finishes downloading itself to the man’s phone , eyeing the rapid flood of data that begins copying to their computer . “ gotcha ! oh , man , there’s so much dirt on this guy — please , wait a few minutes to explode the phone , i wanna ruin his life . ”

❝ bet you five bucks his phone’s going to explode before your virus hits it. ❞ titus smiles smugly behind the magazine drawn up in front of his face. ❝ but, then again, you did say your….stuff was more important. ❞ turning his face and glancing to the side, the macgyver raises an eyebrow at his companion seated next to him in the hotel lobby. it had been a while since the elder male had partaken in any form of ‘rivalry’, and yet here they were - a friendly competition, nonetheless, or rather as friendly as seeing who could maim the targeted businessman quicker. ❝ your turn. ❞ titus smirks, nodding his head towards artemis before returning prior focus to the article in front of him.
“ why explode a phone when you could hack it ? ” artemis retorts , already circumventing the businessman’s security as they type away on their laptop . “ you’re so indelicate , titus . ” the information they want is important , but they can acquire it through other means if necessary — however , the man’s passcode is pathetically easy to crack , so they would prefer to get it now . “ making him prank call all his coworkers would be funnier , though , so maybe you should call off that bet and just let me win , ” they add , watching as their virus file is slowly delivered to the phone . “ urgh , this internet is so slow , what kind of cheapskate uses free wifi in places like this ? ”

JUNGWOO.
━━ ◤ jungwoo reaches out to gently pat them on the shoulder. "maybe they don’t know you’re trying to, maybe they’re just paranoid. you know, one of those people that watches conspiracy theories all day and because of it thinks it’s all going to happen to them?“ he starts, trying his best to comfort the other. "staying up too late and not sleeping at all are two completely different things, art. yes, i have stayed up well past when i should have.. but at least i actually went to sleep afterwards!” he teases with a chuckle.
“i would honestly love to see you try. give it your best shot.” jun retorts, sitting with his arms held open as a 'surrender’, grin never faltering from his lips. "i don’t need to know where it’s at in here, one call to the mastermind explaining how i’m concerned for your health and they’ll be quick to turn it off for me.“ the dark-haired male teases more, brow raising. "plus, all i’d have to do to find it is follow the wires, right?”
“ yeah , but— ” artemis bites back a yawn . “ they’re still probably an incel . ” they’re being unreasonable , blatantly irrational , but they’re tired and irritated and don’t want to admit that maybe jun is right . “ no , like– when you stay up to the point where you may as well just stay up all night ? ” perhaps it’s just artemis’ peculiar brand of half-asleep ‘ logic ’ that leads them to doing that , though .
“ well , it’s plugged in at the wall socket and i don’t use an ethernet cable , so no , you can’t just follow the wires — there aren’t any . ” artemis huffs . “ they wouldn’t turn off the internet for something so petty , either . it’s just sleep deprivation , it’s not like it’s serious . ” they do have other reasons for wanting to stay here , to keep working — but jungwoo doesn’t need to know that . their apartment is lonely , but the other alternative is their family home , and while artemis doesn’t hate their family ... their relationship has been a little tense lately . “ ‘sides , i’ll still stay up — just to spite you . ”

JUNGWOO.
“ ━━ ◤ "okay you’ve got a point there. most of them are stupid enough to make their passwords their birthdays or some shit like that.“ jungwoo chuckles in response, nodding his head. "considering you’re trying to crack into this person’s shit, i’d say they have a right to be paranoid.” he shrugs, though he knows that even if the person was just paranoid, artemis could still end up cracking into their account with only little trouble.
“ ━━ ◤ "feel free to kick me out at any time if you feel the need to, i won’t impose unless you’re okay with it.“ he grins, though the action of him sinking further down into his chair tells a whole different story. "wait, what?? you’re telling me that you forgot to…. sleep?” he starts, giving them a slightly confused look. "how does anyone forget to sleep? that’s like my favorite activity.“ jun continues, sounding more and more confused & lost with each word. "hm, that doesn’t sound like the truth to me, considering you just admitted to 'forgetting’ not even twenty seconds ago.” he starts, looking around the room for a moment. "do i need to go turn off the internet router to make sure you actually do get some rest?“
artemis pouts . “ yeah , but they’re not supposed to know i’m trying to hack them , and it’s not as if their wealth is super well-known or anything . ” they’re being patently irrational , but they are also running off very little sleep , so maybe the universe should cut them some slack . “ i was preoccupied ! don’t you ever get distracted by something and then accidentally stay up too late ? ” they’re not sure that’s an entirely relatable experience , but it certainly happens to artemis a lot .
“ if you turn off the internet router , i’ll kill you , ” artemis threatens , although they doubt a simple threat ( especially from someone as unthreatening as artemis ) will actually stop jun . “ i swear i will sleep . it might be passing out from exhaustion , but it’s still sleep . and you turning off the internet won’t speed up my going to sleep . if you even know where the router in here is . ”

JUNGWOO.
━━ ◤ truth be told, there’s more to the janitor than meets the eye. he’d grown up with strict parents & because of it, rebelled as hard as he could. violence, crime & all things illegal calling out to him like the most beautiful sins. which is why he knew more than just 'cleaning up’ after the crew, he’d learned how to manipulate, how to steal, how to hide in plain sight. though he doesn’t get to use those skills all that often and he's started to feel rusty… not to mention bored out of his mind, but then again, when wasn’t jungwoo bored? ( answer: when he was setting things on fire, of course. )
━━ ◤ so with one shrug of his shoulder, he begins approaching his fellow crew member in the large lounge room of headquarters, pretending to be paying attention to his phone as he 'accidentally’ knocks into their shoulder as he heads towards the front door. he’s not quite to the thresh hold when he stops, turning around to face the person he’d just pick-pocketed. "hey, this happen to be yours?“ there’s a smirk that forms on his lips as he speaks, holding up the object in plain sight before stuffing it into the back pocket of his skinny jeans. "it’s mine… unless you come with me to get something to eat.” he continues, slowly stepping backwards towards the front door with a mischievous look on his features. "what’s it gonna be? deal or no deal?“
if one were to ask artemis what , precisely they spend most of their time doing in the lounge room , their answer would be a vague ‘ stuff ’ . they’re currently stretching the limits of their word count to achieve miracles , and the endeavour is proving remarkably painful . this is what they get for wanting to study something meaningful at university , artemis supposes . nevertheless , the distraction provided by jungwoo was a welcome one , even if it involved the theft of artemis’ possessions . they really needed to start trying to make it a challenge to steal their stuff .
“ that’s just rude , ” artemis pouts , snatching at the keyring . it doesn’t actually have anything of value on it , but they keep it for sentimental reasons . “ you could just ask if i wanted to come , do you know any teens who would say no to food ? ” they stand from their seat , rolling their shoulders back and eyeing jungwoo carefully . the janitor is not someone artemis usually chooses to spend time with ( although arguably that statement is applicable to anyone ) and they do not entirely trust jungwoo to return the keyring . “ ‘s’not like i’ve got anything better to do with my time , ” they add , perhaps needlessly . “ you paying ? but also — you need company that badly you’re resorting to theft ? ”

CHAEYOUNG.
––––––「 chae disregarded any thought in her mind to hide how hard she rolled her eyes at the other’s response. “ you say that like i’ve never done it before, ” she replied, ease in her voice where theirs had clear bite, though that didn’t diffuse the tension between them any less. chaeyoung bit her tongue once she heard those with higher positions than either of them held mentioned and knowing that the words had truth to them –– or at least, enough warning to keep her from firing back with just crack them then. “ i wasn’t asking you to shut down any more of them, the only thing i would need is some peace and quiet in my ear piece if you watched me open more. ” 」
artemis is sorely tempted to turn the security cameras back on mid-heist , just to get her caught and hopefully take the girl down a few notches . “ just ‘cause you’ve done it before , doesn’t mean you won’t fuck up this time , ” they retort , glaring at chaeyoung . “ you’re not perfect . ” their tone is definitely excessive , but artemis can’t bring themself to care . “ and how would you avoid the whole cameras issue ? ” they challenge , holding back a snort at her comment about peace and quiet . “ y’know , the part that’s the actual problem here ? ”

JUNGWOO.
━━ ◤ jungwoo was decent at technology, needing it from time to time to help with his job’s tasks. but when it came to thinks like hacking into other people’s private things was just not his strong suit. perhaps that’s because he preferred being far more hands on with his 'targets’ than a job like that of a hacker would allow. "that's probably a really bad idea, actually.“ he starts off, grin pulling on the edges of his lips to show them he’s simply just teasing. "sounds painful, if you ask me.” the janitor continues, making his way over to the other before leaning against the desk. “rich people who are far more concerned about their money being stolen from them than anything else… that’s who.” jungwoo explains with a shrug of his shoulders. “there’s a few other people who come to mind too, but given what we do — rich people are usually the first thing that pop into my head.” he chuckles, eyes scanning the screen before them.
━━ ◤ “just bored, honestly. don’t have anything that needs to be done right now so i figured why not come bug other people while they try to do their jobs?” he smirks, pulling an empty chair across the floor, making himself comfortable before turning to glance at artemis. "you look like shit, art. have you even slept?“
“ don’t take it literally , you jerk . ” artemis frowns . “ but also– not necessarily . the definition of a computer is very loose . technically you could just be fucking a mathematician . although they’re mentally painful to be around , so i suppose your point still stands . ” they punch in a string of code , and a new process begins , one that will undoubtably take even longer to complete — and quite possibly have no success .
“ most rich people don’t change things as basic as their computer login , and a good deal of them likely have no clue how to change an online bank login , this one is definitely just paranoid . ” possibly with good reason , given that artemis’ intent was to liberate them of a not insignificant portion of their wealth . but still , they feel that people in possession of billions of dollars ought to be somewhat obliged to have poor security . it’s not as if they need the money .
artemis nods . “ fair enough , ” they say , and part of them enjoys the company . having someone to inflict their frustrations on makes them more bearable , they think . “ i– might have forgot to ? ” they’re not particularly skilled in identifying fatigue — possibly it has something to do with their constant tiredness — and they regularly lose track of the time . “ ‘s fine , i’ll catch up another time . ” a blatant lie : artemis has no intentions on making up for lost sleep , nor do they have the time to do so .

JIWON.
JIWON DIDN’T ACKNOWLEDGE THE lack of honorifics as he never found the allure in them —- with the majority of his “growing up” happening in the states he didn’t think twice when someone didn’t use them. but it wasn’t the lack of honorifics that was responsible for his PUZZLED expression. adjusting his posture the grip around his glass tightened. ❝ what ? ❞ he simply uttered out not ENTIRELY SURE if he wanted to know the response. he shook his head sending a strand of hair to fall from it’s place. quickly he tucked it back into place. ❝ why are you asking me if you can fight the internet ? if i said no, would you have listened ? ❞ it’s question after question as he’s deciphering such a peculiar conversation.
“ uh– well that depends on why you said no . like , if you aren’t using it , i don’t need permission — not from you , anyway — but if you are , i don’t wanna , like , interrupt your stuff . especially not if you have unsaved things online , ” artemis explains , stumbling over their words . there’s probably a better way to explain it — likely by using a word other than fight — but artemis is stubborn in their desire to refer to it that way . “ n’– if you’re wondering what the whole ‘ fighting ’ thing is about ... i find technology responds positively to death threats and violence . ” and they wish that wasn’t true , because it’s patently unfair , but c’est la vie , computers are the stupidest ‘ smart ’ things on the planet and murphy’s law is very much accurate .

ZARA.
@dreamhck !
“ oh my god, this sucks. ” finger scrolls through her instagram feed for the fifth time in two minutes, a sigh given as she locks her phone once more and tosses it beside her. “ i am so bored. the one day of the week i have nothing to do, and i think i might actually go insane. ” dark russet hues flicker to artemis, one of the crew members she had yet to really know - but the only one currently around. guess it was time for some team bonding. “ hey um, would you wanna go get lunch ? ”
artemis technically has an essay to write ... and a handful of other assignments to finish ... but they’ve never been very good at resisting the lures of procrastination . so when zara asks them about lunch , they look up from where they sit , eyes glazed-over from staring at a blank document for hours . “ sure . where should we go ? ” they’re bored in the way that seeps into bones and leaves one immobile . the perpetual , self-fuelling variety . it is not something exercise or action can shake off , but they try anyway .

TAEJIN.
♡ ––– 𝑠𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑦 𝑡𝑎𝑒𝑗𝑖𝑛 didn’t have the intentions of staying behind and interacting with the other members of the organization. minus a few formal hello’s taejin kept to himself as he only was in attendance to retrieve some paper work. on his route to the exit taejin passed by a door where the sounds of struggle became increasingly noticeable. nosy was a good word for it but taejin preferred curiosity. peaking his head in the doorway his slim frame then entered the room. ❛ or they could just be an idol. ❜ taejin joked from his own experience. the blonde couldn’t help but to greet the younger with a smile. ❛ how could someone with such a sweet — adorable face have such a sailor’s mouth ? color me confused. ❜ he added while tapping his chin with his index finger.
artemis snorts . “ idols don’t have passwords this long or complicated — not that i’ve hacked any idols’ things — and they at least use regular ascii characters . this greasy velociraptor of a person has used some weird-ass non-ascii characters — fuck , they’ve probably used emojis or some bullshit like that . now i’m going to have to go through every goddamn unicode character , oh my god , ” they groan , two seconds away from just slamming their head into the desk repeatedly to end it all . “ all i wanted was to steal a few million won , not even anything big . ”
at taejin’s next comment , artemis scowls . “ you call this a sailor’s mouth ? what kind of company do you keep ? there are literally millions of people who swear more than i do — and don’t call me ‘ adorable ’ . ” they huff , now thoroughly frustrated . “ i’m an adult . did you actually need something , or did you just come here to insult me ? ”

––––––「 chaeyoung caught herself stifling a scoff at the other’s reaction – or really, lack thereof. “ please, i could knock out two vaults myself. this isn’t even the first store with this security system that i’ve done. ” she sighed quietly to herself, thankful that she had bitten her tongue from adding i don’t need a fucking graph. “ i doubt we’ll ever get this place again in the next few years, most jewelry importers like to change how they lock up once anything’s been taken from them. ” 」
“ ‘kay , well you go take shit from multiple vaults without backup , then , and tell me how well it works out for you . ” the level of snark in artemis’ tone is unnecessary , but the girl’s arrogance irritates them . “ the higher-ups don’t just arbitrarily pick how much to steal . and there’s a good dozen cameras in the other vaults that my decrypter hasn’t cracked the passwords to , so they’d see you coming . ”

CLAY.
she had always wanted to fly , she looks out to the sky &. sees those hollow-boned creatures &. envied them , that she was the dreamer who saw the good in the bad , hope in prison , opportunity where they see none. ❝ im sick of reading through like 500 emails to find out if the CEO is banging the CFO , i want the drama but i dont wanna make myself blind by 45. ❞ there are blind storytellers on the street , weaving their yearns , beckoning for any coin that they can line their pockets with. never listen they dont know what its really like. they sing of hubris , of the mighty gods. ❝ you could like put in what key words you want like we could do it for passwords &. shit. so we dont have to wait for them to crack. ❞ they never talk about how beautiful icarus looked when he was soaring through the sky , only talk about how icarus looked when he was dead in the water. only looking for fear &. shock.
“ aw , don’t you enjoy reading boring business emails ? ” neither does artemis , to be fair , but they have to — yet another attempt by their parents to bestow responsibility upon them . so their sympathy for clay’s struggles are somewhat dampened by their immediate future . “ but that sounds like a great idea — and if we train it on the right stuff , we could even find sketchy deals and all that . even better than just regular gossip . ” their phone buzzes , and artemis switches the thing to ultra-silent without even glancing at it , before tossing it at a wall . “ so . where do we start ? ” they are in desperate need of distraction , and they will take any opportunity — no matter how small .

they’ve swallowed cities once , now they are going to swallow a god with a few well-placed words. they ache to drink down divinity &. yearn to watch the panic in his eyes. ❝ you’re just mad cause i thought of something cooler than you’ll ever think of. ❞ it is a quiet thing to watch divinity to decay. like a stately home , forgotten , cobwebs creep &. crawl filling mouths to suffocate holy prayers. ❝ oh , shit im so so sorry what do you want me to call you , like instead of the b word. ❞ dust consumes fine linens , china &. pearl until there’s nothing left at all.
“ okay , keep telling yourself that , ” artemis hums, eyes glittering with mischief . “ i’ll just be over here teaching a computer how to hack . ” they are actually working on that , didn’t just say it to try to one-up clay , and the idea is slowly coming to fruition . “ it’s not the word that’s the problem , ” artemis says , but they don’t have the heart to finish with ‘ it’s you ’ — not when clay is so willing to apologise . “ but , i dunno , dude just feels more gender-neutral . ” a half-baked peace offering , served with a dollop of i still hate you but . “ anyway — putting glue on your face is a dumb idea . people will watch it , but only to make fun of you . you should make something better , like ... literally anything . i dunno . youtube is a bad place to receive validation , anyway . ”

TITUS.
he only listens with quiet intent, watching artemis’s explanations as a teacher might await an explanation. there was less need, titus found, to therefore be as apologetic as he seemed; it wasn’t usual behavior for the elder male, although he viewed maybe once taking the initiative to be better than his past self had. ❝ oh? I don’t watch much youtube, besides music and… ❞ he trails off, not quite knowing where to go with what he’s saying. awkwardness wasn’t usually his repertoire, and he had to fight the urge to turn away to dissuade such a fact.
❝ dunno, people seem to either be uptight or loose. can’t be too sure these days ❞ titus shrugs, creases forming in his brow as he allows the phone to be slipped out of his grasp. artemis’s questions and sudden curiosity involving the device ponders the macgyver - were all hackers like this? he supposed not. ❞ heist work. it’s become apparent there’s some contacts on there that are of interest to the mastermind and he….quote en quote, ‘wants to see what they’re up to’. ❞ titus hums, eyebrow raising at the male’s inquiry. the question makes him chuckle, pearly whites splitting out from under his lips in a slight smile. ❝ if by days you mean more than a week….probably. but i’m sure you can mess with it for a little while, they won’t mind. although… ❞ titus groans slightly, blinking as a memory resurfaces. ❝ just….try not to lose it. please. ❞
artemis shrugs , unbothered by the stilted conversation . “ yeah , there’s quite a few with several screens , it’s probably why half of them are in debt . that , and the cameras . ” they’re by no means an expert on the world of youtube , but as a student , they’ve spent many hours deep in the rabbit hole of that website . you pick up a thing or two from it after a while .
“ people suck . that’s why i work with computers — they don’t talk back unless you want them to . ” they smile , the bluish light glinting off the whites of their eyes and teeth , and if this were a movie they’d be the antagonist . all count olaf , poor lighting and sinister faces . but this is reality , and so they look rather more like a harmless child . “ aight , i’ll take a look at it , see what i can get out of it . should have the results by ... monday ? ” they toss the device to one side, letting it clatter against the desk as they rummage in one of their myriad storage boxes . “ s’fine , i won’t lose it . not until i’ve gotten everything off it , anyway . ” they’ve definitely got some lightning to usb cables somewhere , but given how rarely artemis encounters iphones , they’re likely buried under something . or several somethings . “ what’s got you so stressed about it , though ? ”

open starter !
“ ... what the fuck , are you kidding me ?! ” artemis has spent the last twenty-seven hours painstakingly monitoring the progress of their latest project ( honestly , the time it was taking ought to have been the first indicator ) — only to be met with the most mundane error message in existence — ‘ incorrect password ’ . “ fuck computers . ” they’re done . they’re never dealing with computers again — they’re going to go live in a cave somewhere , far away from this disaster . “ what kind of incel arsehole changes their password in twenty-nineteen ? ” it’s the only conceivable reason ( in artemis’ mind ) for their attempt to fail — it worked yesterday , on the same person — but the only people artemis knows who change their password regularly are a) naïve or b) people who work in cyber security .
they glance up at the sound of the door opening , meeting the eyes of an intruder — “ sorry , don’t mind me . did you need something ? ” the picture of politeness — a stark contrast to their earlier demeanour .

TITUS.
― @dreamhck
❝ knock knock, anyone home? ❞ titus raps his knuckles against the wooden doorway, head dropping to the side in an almost curious manner. he couldn’t help but stare around the office; dark, gloomy, the only light allowing him to peer upon artemis’s face being the nearly florescent glow from the computer screen…s? screens? ❝ jesus christ how many of these things does a hacker need…. ❞ he can’t help but mutter, blinking somewhat in a manner to hopefully adjust to the lack of lighting. ❝ look, I know we got off on the wrong foot with….that job, trust me it wasn’t either one of our faults it went bad. ❞ titus sighs, biting at this bottom lip as he slides his hand into his jacket pocket and fishes out a turquoise-cased phone. ❝ but I need to you to hack into this for me. mastermind has been up my ass about it since one of the magicians busted it a few days ago. please? ❞
“ hey , if you think this– ” artemis gestures to their four-screen arrangement with one hand , “ is a lot of screens , you should see developers , i swear software companies spend like ... eighty percent of their profits on more screens . ” they pause for a moment . “ actually , scratch that , youtubers are the worst . it’s like ... a rite of passage for being an unlikeable nerd . ” they grin, face silhouetted by the bright screens .
“ you call that the wrong foot ? sheesh , your standards are low . yeah , the job went south fast , but south is mi casa , there was no permanent damage done . ” artemis has better things to do than hold grudges against their crewmates . like hold grudges against their parents . “ it yours ? or is this heist work ? ” they take the phone , turning up their nose at the clear apple branding on the device . “ and do you need it done quickly — will they be annoyed if i take a few days to fuck around with it ? ” artemis doesn’t hack apple devices as often as pcs and androids ( korea being the home of samsung ) and they’re eager to examine any possible backdoors for future reference .
