Slice of Chaotic Life

I installed the rare multihack mod on the portal outside my workplace. My scanner area sometimes drift far enough to hack it from my desk, but it is only a minute or two walking even if not.  Normally I can hack it 4 times early in the day, then it burns out. (You can only hack 4 times in 4 hours without a mod, but you can pace those as you wish, as long as they are at least 5 minutes apart.)

Now with the rare multi-hack, I can hack it 12 times in 4 hours. That amounts to once every 20 minutes. Now, hacking takes only a few seconds, so I could probably do that without interfering much with my work unless I have phone duty, which I rarely have due to my throat problems. But I haven’t set up a timer to remind me every 20 minutes, and as a result I actually never burned it out over the course of the workday. By the time I had hacked 12 times, it was already into the next 4-hour slot.

The nearby portal is owned by the Enlightenment, of course. We pretty much own the south coast at the moment, despite the occasional Resistance tourist. Actually it would have been nice to have a blue portal (I had one for a while) since I get 100 Action Points for hacking those, but no AP for hacking our own. On the other hand, friendly portals tend to give more loot. And of course, it is only friendly portals I can outfit with a mod such as this.

I sent a message to Agent @B3ll3rophon, begging him to throw a couple high-level resonators on the portal (he is level 7 or 8) so it could get up to my own level. That way I can get more level-appropriate loot. As mentioned, I can only raise a portal to level 3 when I am level 4.
