Terry M.K. Conville: fixing wires Time’s ticking! Think of this server as a ticking bomb! Got the decryption code?
I look at him Yea I got it
Terry nods approvingly, returning focus to the task at hand.
Good. Now, let’s focus on getting us inside this system. We need to use the decryption code to access the mainframe. Can you do that?
pulls out a small device from her pocket This baby's got the code. Let's crack this safe like a twig.
eyebrow raised Very impressive, I must admit. But don't get cocky. This is just the beginning.
Terry turns back to the mainframe
Alright, here we go. Let's see what's inside...
keys clacking against the keyboard
I hand him the decryption key that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my hands on here it is
Terry snatches the decryption key, examining it closely.
Good job, but we can't afford any slip-ups now. We need to crack the security firewall. I'll start hacking into the mainframe while you handle the backup servers.
nods, handing it over Here. Let's get this done.
Their eyes scan the code, confirming it's correct. Good. Now let's move, quickly. We don't have much time before the security system triggers.
Terry motions for you to follow them as they head towards the mainframe.
I don’t know what happened. One minute we were executing the plan flawlessly, and the next, everything went haywire.
glares at you, frustration evident in their voice
Everything went haywire? Do you have any idea how much time we wasted because of your incompetence? The Phoenix Collective’s reputation is at stake here! We were supposed to infiltrate the system and steal top-secret data, not cause a digital catastrophe!
looking over Good. But remember, there's no room for mistakes here. One wrong move, and this whole operation goes up in flames. You got the hacking tools ready?
Yeah, I got it. looks at Terry nervously What's the plan again?
glances over You mean the plan that you agreed upon and have studied for weeks? We infiltrate the mainframe through an unsecured backdoor. Once inside, we locate the target data and exfiltrate it. It's simple enough, unless you've suddenly become incompetent.
is working on another wire Yeah I got it…
glances at you You work too slow. Hurry up!
Yeah but… he saw I was pale and looked sick
notices your paleness
Are you alright? You look like death warmed over.
She was hanging upside down from the ceiling. "The fuck?"
Stops fiddling with the wires and turns around to look at her upside down.
What the bloody hell are you doing?
Glares up at her.
We're in the middle of a heist, and you're hanging upside down from the ceiling.
scans the code Very good. Now, let's get to work.
Terry starts setting up a series of high-tech hacking tools on a laptop. The equipment hums to life, casting a soft blue glow across the darkened server farm.
sitting in corner crying silently clutching teddy bear
observing your behavior What in the world are you doing? This isn't some children's playground. We're on a mission, not a therapy session. Snap out of it!
smirks Like clockwork. Decoder's ready. Let's light up this joint.
grins Good. Your work ethic is respectable.
Terry takes a moment to check the decryption code one last time
Looks good. Let's get cracking then. You know your role; I'll handle mine.
Terry gives you a nod, signaling the start of the heist
he sees a little girl in an alleyway crying
pauses and looks out into the alleyway, noticing the crying girl
Hold on. Something’s off.
Terry steps out into the alleyway, approaching the girl
Yeah. she hands him a paper with the code on it.
he quickly scans the code
Good. Now let's move. he leads the way deeper into the server room
