Daniel Jackson was a computer genius who unwittingly became an employee for a rogue corporation, Green Key. Little did he know what his first job would lead him into.
Daniel Jackson was a computer genius who was enlisted by Green Key, Americas foremost computer repair firm, to insert modified black chips into every ISP provider in America, Britain and Australia with the aim if intercepting email communication between Russia
& Afghanistan.
From that point on, Daniel was under the control of Green Key.
He was enlisted into the Special Forces & suffered a severe form of PTSD. He was taken to Hanlon House, in England which only accepted the most severe cases of PTSD and fell in love with his Counsellor.
He decided to stay in England but wanted to see Green Key destroyed. In one brave mission he made a dangerous flying trip to America & saw Green Key brought to justice.
Daniel then started writing books. In his later years one became a best seller & movie which was very close to his personal
story....but only Daniel could know.
Excerpt
Daniel Jackson lived with his parents in an outer suburb of New York. He was an only child. Daniels parents weren't exactly the most affectionate parents but they provided well for Daniel. They paid particular attention to his education as they realised that he was a very intelligent child from a young age. He did a paper round at the weekend. Daniel was particularly interested in all things technical. His school reports also indicated that he excelled in all of his subjects.
For Daniels seventh birthday his parents bought him a small kit that enabled him to build an electronic car. All parts and instructions were included. They also bought him a small tool kit designed specifically for assembling the car. Daniel studied the instructions in-depth for a few days, sitting the each part out in the order that it would be assembled. He then set about assembling the small car the following weekend. He completed it in a day. His parents displayed as much pride as they could muster but took note of Daniels clever work. Daniel played the car endlessly, to the point where he had to occasionally get his parents to buy him specific tiny wires that he had burnt out. Daniel went to the electronics shop with them as he was able to tell the shopkeeper the name and serial number of the required wire.
The following Christmas Daniels parents bought him an electronic crane kit. This was more advanced than his electronic car. The crane came with a remote control, allowing him to move it from left to right, lift objects and so forth. Again, Daniel studied the instructions and sat out the parts in the order that they were to be assembled. The crane took much longer to assemble electronically and he required extra small tools for the job. The actual physical assembly, Daniel found easy.
A month after returning to school, Daniels class had a 'show and tell' day. Daniel took in his crane. He showed the class his crane and what it could do. His teacher asked, “Where did you get that from, Daniel?” Daniel replied, “I made it.” His teacher was amazed. The teacher was even more amazed when Daniel went through, step by step, the physical and electrical construction, naming the different types and specifications of wires and how the remote control actually worked.
The following day Daniels parents received a call from his teacher. The teacher asked if he could meet with them. A meeting was organised for the following week. When they met, Daniels teacher told his parents that it was always obvious that Daniel was a highly intelligent child and that he was beginning to move ahead in leaps and bounds; much faster than any other student. He went on to add that there was a nearby school for students who were high achievers and that he thought Daniel would benefit from it. Would they be interested in sending Daniel there? “Take some time to
think about it,” he said.
Daniels parents went home and thought about it for a week. They rang his teacher and organised another with his teacher. They said that they had thought about the teachers proposition and thanked him but decided that they would prefer to leave Daniel at his current school as his friends were all there and they would prefer he continue through the conventional education system offered there. The teacher was very understanding.
By the time Daniel was twelve, computers were just starting to take off. That Christmas Daniels parents bought him a computer. Daniels jaw dropped. It was one of the original bulky models, with the large television-like monitor and huge tower that was the work engine. The instruction manual was huge. After two days, Daniels father handed the manual to Daniel. “Here. Can you make sense of this? I'm lost.”
Daniel took the manual to his room and had the computer operating after a few hours. He started the computer up and searched a game that he had heard other children mention at school. “Mum! Dad! Look at this!” he yelled. His parents went to his room and weren't particularly surprised that Daniel had the computer operating within a few hours. They stood there for a while watching Daniel playing his game. They had no idea what his game was all about but were pleased that his Christmas present was now being used.
After tiring of a particular game, Daniel would search 'free games,' download them and move to the next one. This went on for about three months. Daniel noticed that the computer was gradually slowing down on occasion. The screen would also occasionally freeze for a few seconds. Daniel was becoming frustrated. He decided, that with his genius IQ that he would investigate the computer tower.
