<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>SPECTRE Command</strong></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Technical Specialist Robert Waters was monitoring one of the many data feeds being funneled into SPECTRE Command, and he was on the search for information that wasn't supposed to be there.  With so much information flowing in, most of it was sifted by AIs searching for anything that didn't belong, flagging it for human operators to check.  One of the AIs flagged an unauthorized data feed pinging information off the SPECTRE servers, and he immediately began tracking it.  It was a mobile source, and appeared to be coming from somewhere in Seattle.  He picked up his phone, "Get me Colonel Drake ASAP."</span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Fairview Shopping Center</strong></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Colonel Drake was trying to coordinate the search for more supers when he got the call.  He listened, then nodded his head, "Enable Beta Protocol and track the source."  Beta Protocol was a brute force virus attack, designed to overwhelm and slam into any firewalls and attack any open ports.  AIs controlled the bombardment, working together to overwhelm the firewall and squeeze inside, uploading a virus that would essentially lock the computer and make it impossible to reboot without the proper password, which was randomly generated and over 40,000 bytes of data long.<br/><br/>Unbeknownst to Colonel Drake, the source of the illegal data transfer was the prototype attacking the police officer and carrying the girl around.  It would take all of his efforts to keep from being overwhelmed by the viruses and rendered unable to move.</span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Cassandra's Mind</strong></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Cassandra was suddenly overtaken by a vision, one of the future.  She could tell by the date on the large screen that appeared.  The time appeared to be 15:42 on 25 JULY 2079.  As her vision unfolded, a man in a dark uniform ran a hand through his greying hair, listening to something on the phone.  Suddenly, his chest exploded, blood spraying outward and onto the console infront of him.  All around him, SPECTRE soldiers were rushing in, shooting everyone in the way.  Soon the entire room was either dead or dressed in dark tactical armor.  Another man entered, this one wearing not only a SPECTRE patch, but a patch with the logo of the President of the United States.<br/><br/>The new man approached the man Cassandra had seen earlier, and she could just make out the name sewn into his uniform.  DRAKE.  The silver eagle on his lapel marked him as a colonel.  The man had an evil smirk on his face as he hoisted Drake up and looked him in the face.  The words were lost in the vision, but the man then drove Drake's head into the console.  From the way he slumped, Drake was obviously dead.</span>
