Recruiting Kite: a new friend for life

timeline_event

texture · addiction era (B.S.)

When: after Trent Kite got "the administrative Shoe from Salem State" (~B.S.)
What: When the computer-hacker Trent Kite was expelled from Salem State and told he'd "never study in the industry again," Gately brought him into the crew; Fackelmann introduced Kite to pharmaceutical-grade Dilaudid, and "Kite found a new friend for life." Fackelmann and Kite then fell together into the I.D.-, credit-history-, and furnished-luxury-apartment scam (event 7); Gately by then dabbled in the fraud "pretty much only as a hobby," preferring burglary.
