What Came With the Stolen Code

Summary

The day before the President's Fellowship defense, I was standing outside the lab when I heard Garrett talking to the department sweetheart. "I copied all of his data. You can use it directly tomorrow."

I stood in the hallway, frozen for three seconds.

Then I pulled out my phone and checked the local Git logs. Last push: three months ago.

I slid my phone back into my pocket. That version had three hundred and twenty-seven bugs. And the comments were absolutely loaded with my warmest regards for Garrett.

Tomorrow's defense was going to be a masterpiece.
