Before Silver Wolf became the greatest hacker in the Internet War era, she was cooped up in a fast food restaurant with a joystick in her hand. Her influence turned its basement into an arcade hall consisting of several old machines for retro games. She was an orphaned child with no legal name or identity number except for a nickname given by her proprietress.
