Sophia sat in the metal chair. "The audio?" Sophia asked.

This code was something similar to what I needed to make my own in-hackable server system. I quickly made some notes and just as I was about to shut my laptop down that normal alerting ping went off letting me know that there was something new available on the S.D.E server.

Miller said, "Alright, then. Mister Penn, we're going to be opponents now." Wilbur stared at Miller for a while before saying, "When do we start?" "If you want, we can start right away," Miller replied. Hagin glanced at his watch. "Let me go through the rules. This challenge will last ten minutes. If Wilbur cannot defeat Miller within that time and Miller is still able to get up, Wilbur will be considered to have lost. Of course, if Miller surrenders, the win will go to Wilbur. Alright. I'm going to count to three, and the challenge will begin. One, two, three—begin!"

A 'System Ping' from the North Perimeter Guest House. Adrian hadn’t just sent a message; he had used the fridge’s diagnostic burst—a standard data packet sent every hour—to upload a file fragment. I tapped the log entry, my breath catching in my throat. A QR code flickered onto the screen for a mere three seconds before the system auto-refreshed.

The screen scrambled, static hissed. Jiro frowned. “That’s odd. We haven’t had any network interruptions tonight.” “Try the server room,” I said, moving behind the desk to stand beside him. “Check access logs.” He hesitated only for a second before doing what I asked. On-screen, a stream of data filled the window. I scanned it quickly, my finger tracing over the timestamps. “Right there,” I said. “Look. 11:05:38. Remote access ping.” Jiro leaned in, squinting. “But… that’s not one of ours.”
