More words appeared on the screen held by the porcelain doll in the wheelchair. Though she appeared to be just rambling now. As soon as Kal hooked himself up with the open channel provided by Valerie, her voice rang out over the com. In cyberspace, her pleasant french accent was notably missing.<i> "-ireless... of course he can make it sound like...Oh. You're here, Bleu. Good. Just a voice and still reception? That's a pity. I'm looking through the building now but it's an antique, Bleu. Half of it is just offline."</i>She sounded notably annoyed.<br/><br/>In Neurospace, detached from reality Valerie looked at the two icons that just appeared on her dash. Of course, there wasn't a physical dash. Just like her avatar-form is was simply an interpretation created by her mind. The belt of programs and algorithms made it easy of her to keep track of everything she was running while exploring the system. Around her, it became more and more apparent that the network was simply falling apart from age and lack of maintenance. There was no main server to run the gig. Normally this meant that each node was free for her to grab, but LiveFeed Transnational always liked security redundancy it seemed. Still, it meant the nodes couldn't communicate with eachother anymore, no risk of alarms in here.<br/><br/>Valerie finished mapping the system and assigned a good deal of her RAM runtime and focus into building a temporary main server. She could easily add any nodes she had to crack to it, and once she was done, though it could take at least half an hour, she had the key to castle and could keep everyone else out of the system.<br/><br/>"Alright, Wheels. Front door is a no go... got another way in?"<br/><br/>One of the icons on her dash piped up. Kal was asking for help, and who was she to deny it?<i>"There's an underground utility access. Probably their main access point. You should be able to access it through the sewer grid. Alternatively..." </i>Val begun to crack the access hatch's defenses. Even with most of her runtime occupied the ancient defenses couldn't keep her out after all.<br/><br/><i>"I'm cracking the hatch either way to cut off their escape, but if you prefer a more olfactory pleasing entryway, each floor beyond the first also has a service entrance.Should be a service ladder nearby to climb. If you can get to the top floor you can sweep from the top to the bottom floor easily. Second floor service entry lock is sending me a null value though, they might've busted or welded that one shut."</i><br/><br/><i>"So what will it be? I'll try and crack any functioning cameras near whatever point of entry you pick."</i><br/><br/>The access hatch succumbed to her attack quickly enough. After the power grid node, Valerie had a better idea of the system's vulnerabilities. Two of the systems node were now under her admin control. What would be the next one?<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
