Parts for Shodan's mining and construction drones. The chemical needed for the shell. Money for everyone to eat and life on, since building this thing was a full time job. Fuel money for the equipment and the vehicles.
Secondly, why ID Theft? A wavium computer could have easily wormed the money out of a series of corporate expense accounts and no one would've been the wiser.
And maybe ID theft is the wrong term. I was figuring on credit fraud. Lots of credit fraud, with Shodan setting up fresh new ID with artificially good credit. So, I was thinking credit cards and loans. I had even considered Kai having Shodan send a notice out to all the banks and card companies, letting them know that they had been victimized by the Dread Steam Pirate Kaiser, Captain of the Leonardo including a list of everything they weren't getting paid for and all the identities assumed.
This of course later coming to bite them in the ass if they ever need to borrow anything from anyone ever again.
