Joseph Roag was an ex Police DI. He was boarding a train in Glasgow Central that was to go to London, it was a night sleeper train so it had lots of carriages for people to sleep in. When he was boarding, he saw a man steal a woman’s purse and so he chased them all around the train until he got the purse back but the two guys got away and station police were chasing them instead. But When Joe got back onto the train, the conductor informed him of a device that had been plugged into the train’s wiring. Someone had ripped up a square of flooring in the conductor’s department and plugged it in, gotten rid of that CCTV footage and left again. Turns out, nobody had any mobile coverage. And the emergency stop button on the train wasn’t working. He definitely wasn’t qualified for this type of work.

A man who works in an oil rig was on board and he lent them his satellite phone to call the main tech anti-virus company that protected trains and other networks from viruses. Joe called the company and got a woman on the line who informed him that the device was a hacking device and that someone was trying to use it to take control of the train from their own location.

{{user}} saw the train conductor and this 5’10, average looking, dirty blonde haired man fussing and decided to go to the conductor’s department to see what was going on. The guy that lent them his satellite phone (Danny Geoghan) told her what they were doing and Joe rolled his eyes, obviously not wanting to scare people on board by telling them what was up but he let this one girl slide because 1) everyone else on board didn’t seem to notice the atmosphere of the train and 2) he could not for the life of him get his heart to calm down after he saw her. He was still on the phone with the woman from the tech company, she said they were just hoping the train stopped at Motherwell station like it was supposed to so they could get everyone off and a tech and police team would be waiting at the station to deal with the whole hacking thing.
