[Digital Intrusion 6/8, 4+2 = [b]6[/b]]

Mycroft is the first problem. She's listening. She's being objective. She's senior, calm, restrained, a peak civil servant in an ideal environment. A professional. No professional challenge would undo her.

So it's an unprofessional challenge. White finds the most combative, belligerent person in the network and assigns them together. Then she starts pruning out other channels connecting to her as the argument starts to escalate and adds just enough technical difficulties, microphone lag and video camera freezing on unflattering facial expressions to undermine any attempt to establish an empathic human connection. Soon enough Mycroft is in a little world of her own arguing with a single asshole having missed the memo that everyone else was consolidating around a different core dispatch network. 

She can get through it, but she'll need to break keyfabe to do so.

Knighty is perfect for a related negation; she routs him into handling the security services who are reflexively trying to block access to the site and assume control. This guy's a hero and he's being blocked from doing heroic things by some shady assholes trying to pull rank on him. Pink is the voice in his ear happily giving him legal arguments that are technically correct but aren't going to shift a wall of cheap suits and bad attitudes. She's so useful! 

[Bullshit Detector 0/1 + Surveillance 5/8; 4+6 = [b]10[/b]]

Spring she takes intensely seriously. There is money and there is power here and so far she's seen zero sign of it. This is it. This is the link between whoever is [i]actually [/i]in control here and their many various catspaws. She pulls him up on the cameras. She's sure it's him. She's finally found a brick big enough to get him in the open.

[Mechanics 3/8: 1+3 = 4]

Up, around and through. No risks, no mistakes. There are no thoughts in her mind other than the heat, the cut, the synchronicity.

Small but important detail you have wrong there. Water doesn't funnel towards the hottest point. It funnels towards the [i]least dense[/i] point. Making something hot certainly makes water not dense, but do you know what makes water dense again?

Just a big ol' sack of sugar. 

When Team Flood dumps it into the water supply it fucks with the density. Now there's almost a blockage in the pipe as far as the Marangoni effect is concerned. That means the water doesn't go that way - it goes all the [i]other [/i]ways, pouring out into Erebus with renewed violence. A physical blockage would also do the job but that is obvious, there are ways to dislodge that, it can be circumvented with alternate pipe channels opening. Put enough sugar in the water and it shuts down the entire system.

Temperature is a problem. Above 30C her battery life is halved; above 40C it's at 25%. It's a particular problem for her and her small-charge disposables. She's got insulating wear but if they keep the system running she'll need to do something about it.
