Ok, I am not contesting that in the SRTCG sense. The sourcebooks however
have described Fastjack. (of course I cant fragging find where I read
it)..
But fastjsck is human and he is over 50 years old.

Other than that, well, info is rather vague...

You just remind me this: I think a heared that Fastjack was one of the
MANY deckers that went against the virus that caused the world's biggest
computer crash. He, like Damien Knight and one of Dodger's friend, was
one of the few to have survived the virus. This I'm 75% sure (its been
3-5 years since I read the book) that Dodger was amazed by her skills and
that he was only a kid when the virus hit the network.

Even if Dodger is a "spike baby" (this was written in another mail from
Loki), he wasn't a decker yet by the time the virus hit the matrix.
