Post-Apocalyptic Dispatch 21: Professor Gigabytes Data Salvage
 |
Near the dry¸ dusty edge of town lies an old rectangular shack resting on deflated wheels¸ a pre-Fall era concession truck that might have once sold hot dogs¸ tacos¸ or other treats. The old posters and menus that once decorated the truck are now plastered over with hand-painted signs that read "Professor Gigabyte's Data Salvage - Fees Vary". A steady chortling sound emanates from the disabled vehicle's hood¸ but it is obvious the deteriorating "roach coach" isn't going anywhere soon. The area around the pathetically-old truck is a dry¸ grassy yard littered with countless bits of discarded machinery¸ defunct electronics¸ and computer parts. Virtually all of these discarded parts are covered in rust and dirt¸ and are well beyond any possibility of repair. The small niche business known as Professor Gigabyte's Data Salvage is run by a colorful former tech looter named "Gigabyte". Specializing in computer salvage¸ Gigabyte retired to the outskirts of the City of Styx after the business of ‘looting became too hairy for his tastes¸ using his ill-gotten gains to set up a "legitimate" business recovering data from old computers and electronic storage devices¸ unlocking the secrets (some mundane¸ others quite valuable) stored within them.
