I met this guy a while ago on
IRC. He seemed cool, he went to another
university nearby, and we had some similar interests.
Erik Satie, for example. He's
Russian, he's in business or commerce or something at school, he seems like
just an average guy.
Then I found out about his
business dealings and how he's
banned from trading on a few
stock exchanges. And then I learned about how he sells
military information to different governments. He explained how he researched and read about all the latest military stuff, in places like
Jane's. And how he goes to see tests of the latest tech himself. And how he hangs out on
Russian submarines in the summer.
A couple of months later, he left to go on a
nuclear submarine for a month or so. He sent me an email from the sub explaining how the alarm for a
nuclear leak went off so he had to be scrubbed with weird
orange gel that removed all his
hair, but it was just a
false alarm. When he got back we discussed the military, how
Russia thinks
Canada is going to be taken over by the
USA within 20 years, and other interesting things. A week or so later he returned to
Russia to do some high-altitude
skydiving.
Now he's on my
ICQ telling me how he's stuck in the middle of nowhere in
Russia with the secret police 'hunting me down'. He claims to be on a
laptop with
some sort of satelite connection to the
internet. It seems that his
truck got stuck in the mud and now he's staying with some
crazy old lady who's trying to serve him
radish-like vegetables. He's getting some old
communist paraphernalia from her to show some friends back here in
Canada in exchange for giving her
diesel for her
generator and a couple month's worth of
ammo to keep the
wolves from attacking her
animals.
Supposedly.
I really cannot figure out if he actually is a
Russian spy or just has some sort of
mental problem.
