You think they have the tech for this?

@GalaxyRaider

If anyone does, it’s them. Other criminal groups don’t operate like that.
*Points to the now-blank projection*
Who else would advertise their work like that? With the same designs pulled up on the screen? Or leave the door unlocked? It’s a threat.

Net… Mafia?

@GalaxyRaider

Yes, people who do organized cybercrime.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Shoot.

@GalaxyRaider

I think the netmafia broke into the lab, stole those designs, stole dad, and are using them to terrorize the net.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

There’s a chance that they didn’t get everything they were looking for, yet.
*Severs the connection manually*
Not sure if they were in for seconds before we got here or hours.

@GalaxyRaider

I... have an idea. But it's crazy.

Hm.
*Crosses my arms, controlling the terminal with technokinesis and trying to trace back the source of the access*

@GalaxyRaider

*The system reads the logged in user as "null" and begins to exhibit unstable behavior on abnormal probing*
Whoever did this... their tech is unbelievable.

*Technokinetically copies anything that seems important, then puts them aside*
If the computer still hasn’t logged out, then whoever did it would still be in right? Connected?

@GalaxyRaider

The user should be logged in. If they hacked in, they could have disabled the auto-logout.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

That’s a less ideal reality then.
*Walks back over to the terminal and tries to extract the schematics mentally*

@GalaxyRaider

*The screens of the schematics project outward toward you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I didn’t. That’s what I was getting at. If these terminals are programmed to time out due to inactivity at all, then someone was just here.

@GalaxyRaider

They log you out if you walk away. Someone had to have hacked into it.

*Walks over and puts a hand on your shoulder*
Calm down. We’ll get to the bottom of it. I can’t speak for Melody or X at the immediate moment, but it seems there’s a big attack going on. If Tempo found out like we just did, he likely got involved in that somehow. So there’s one lead.
*Goes back to investigating the pod*
I’m trying make sure we can verify who was in here and how recently but there’s no trace of that that I can find.

@GalaxyRaider

*Puts my hands on my knees, shaking*
Why was the lab open?
*Flashes a look back to the terminal*
How did you log in to the PC?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Slams my fist on the desk*
How inconvenient...
*Scans the recovery bay for any sort of access point*

@GalaxyRaider

Why won't anyone pick up..?
*Hits redial on the three lines again, my hands shaking and hitting end call on one*
Where's Tempo? What is going on??
