"Deep" Zach "Thoughts"

Okay, I’m only going to admit this because it’s cathartic and I don’t think anybody is actually going to read this blog.  But here it goes, sometimes I don’t think I’m good enough. Yeah on the outside I am confident and cocky.  Yeah I know I’ve saved the world on more than one occasion.  But here’s the kicker, the knee to the groin, I didn’t do any of this until I had a super computer (and that’s putting it mildly) wired to my cerebral cortex.  Deep down I know I’m a pretty accomplished guy, almost got a Ph.D, almost graduated from police academy, almost got a black belt.  Even before HARV was hooked into my brain I had some nice successes of note.  I exposed the cat eating fad “the other other white meat” as a sly marketing campaign from a pet company that accidently cloned too many cats.  I busted Time Express for showing their “we get it there yesterday,”  was a scam, they just hired psi’s to convince you they delivered it yesterday.  Thing was I was mostly famous for just being the last licensed private investigator.   I was more of an oddity, a man with an affinity for things from before the turn of the century doing an outdated job.

Thoughts from HARV -- giving Zach's brain a rest.

Hi Humans:

Humans called me HARV.  Which stands for Highly Aware and Really Verbal.  I am the most advanced thought processing machine in existence.  And that’s counting humans.  I have instant access to all but the most secure data in the world.  And give me enough time I can even get to that.  My creator the esteemed Doctor Randy Pool and his backers originally meant for me to be the ultimate spy machine.  But really where’s the fun in that?  They made my bits a bit too well.  I decided I didn’t want to spy on anybody.  I just wanted to observe and help where I could.  My creator the esteemed Doctor Pool thought I could benefit greatly from interfacing with Zachary Johnson’s brain.  I agreed.

How I became a PI...

People often ask me, “Zach how the DOS did you become a Private Investigator?” I tell them, I always had a certain affection for things from the old 20th century. Not sure why I just found that time more interesting. My assistant Carol says I’m old school. Nothing more old school than being a PI. Plus, I studied Human Behavior in college. I was even working on a Ph.D. It was interesting but not that interesting and even less exciting. I couldn’t see myself as a researcher or a therapist. Face it, I’m not an on the clock 10 to 3 kind of guy. I needed more. 

 One day I got an email saying, “join the police academy.” I figured this would be a good way to make my mark in the world with a little flare. I dropped out of my Ph.D. program (something never to be brought up in front of my mom) and joined the Police Academy. They taught me to shoot, they gave me some detective skills, they taught me first aid and how to defend myself. Most of all though they taught me that I didn’t like following orders. Sadly, following orders is a big part of the gig. I quit the day of graduation. (Something else never to be brought up in front of my mother.)

 While I was pondering my future in my favorite dive I ran into the toughest SOB I had ever met. Her name was Gem Stone, she was one of the last of a dying breed, she was a PI. She was getting on in age (she was 87) and needed an assistant, somebody to take over. 

 The rest as they say is history. Zachary N Johnson

Once Again Danger Comes to My Door (in the form of a beautiful Woman)

 Here I go again... Another super powerful lady needs my help. Not only is my client beautiful and wealthy beyond belief she also claims to have been killed. This is the first time I've actually been hired by somebody to find their murderer after they've been killed. Yep, my first "zombie" client. Sure, this is the 2060s and we're dealing with enhanced DNA so I shouldn't be so surprised my client was actually dead once. Still, I gotta admit, I'm intrigued. I'm pretty sure if nothing else this case is going to prove to be fun and interesting. Plus I should turn a nice profit. It's always best to have ultra mega rich clients.
