Google's board sat for their third meeting this month, the subject being one they had discussed twice already.
OmniTech and Sentinel.
This individual came out of nowhere, discovered fifteen vulnerabilities in their systems and offered them first bite of a golden cake known as Sentinel but they had hesitated.
No, they didn't hesitate, they got greedy. They wanted the whole cake, including its recipe, for themselves and now, there was a chance that even the offered slice could be snatched away.
Eric sat with both elbows on the table and both hands clasped above his lips as he watched OmniTech Corp's market valuation rise by the minute.
The company, with only a single product, was now worth 100 million and rising. Compared to Google's hundreds of billions, OmniTech's worth was nothing to be considered.
But one had to remember that this was a company that was unknown until a week ago and only the promise of what their product could do had skyrocketed their value.
