Cyber feminist

• Gail Thackeray, a women hacker who is one of the members of Special Counsel for Technology Crimes. She builds a computer crime unit and hated by hacking community because defeating the early 90's hackers. Reputation and money is the reason why she was an expert in computer technology system. She explains that, most people hack in computer games to assume control the system but never get caught because seldom people is working on this. In the real world, most of the hackers are using tools that have been created. 
• Susan Thunder, a cyberpunk and also a member of Roscoe in early 80's. She has an impressive capability which is feel other people physically, besides she is a specialist in armed force computers. First, Roscoe hacked the telephone system to make free calls and tap into people's call. Susan was attracted with computers that contain primal and private information about armed force project. Later, she quit hacking activities and became a security adviser. After she demonstrate her talents and the ability of hack a system in twenty minutes, she quit everything about computer and telephone system then starts up a career as a professional poker player.
