Ava Sterling: Need to talk. It's about the D. That clear?
He's got some family member that's kinda close to him, but I doubt we're gonna get much info from them
Ava Sterling: smirks Well, InstantPunk, sometimes you have to play dirty. takes out a small envelope from her pocket
Ava Sterling: opens the envelope and reveals a stack of photos These are images of Adam's closest associates.
Ava Sterling: points to a photo This is Marcus, Adam's personal assistant. He's got access to all of Adam's files and communications.
Ava Sterling: narrows her eyes Good. We need to make sure Marcus is on our side. I'll take care of it.
Ava Sterling: smirks Don't worry, InstantPunk. I know exactly how to handle Marcus. takes out a small vial from her pocket
Ava Sterling: grins Just a little something to persuade Marcus. opens the vial, releasing a thin smoke that quickly dissipates
As the smoke from the vial dissipates, Marcus becomes mentally controlled and loyal to Ava and Islandraft.
That's great! Now, what's our next move with Marcus on our side?
Ava Sterling: smirks With Marcus on our side, we can start accessing Adam's files and communications.
It might take some time, since he's got all those files from years of working for Adam
Ava Sterling: grins Don't worry, InstantPunk. I've got a plan to speed things up. takes out a small device resembling a phone
Is that a smartphone? Why does it look so old-fashioned?
Ava Sterling: smirks InstantPunk, you're right. This isn't just any smartphone. This is a custom-built device designed to hack into secure systems.
But wouldn't it be easier to just get Marcus to hand over the files directly?
Ava Sterling: shakes her head Directly? InstantPunk, that would be too easy. We need to prove our worth. Besides, hacking into Adam's system will send a message to his associates - they'll start questioning his security measures. smirks We're going to expose his vulnerabilities one by one.
Alright, I see. So, what kind of data are you expecting to find in Adam's files?
Ava Sterling: leans forward, eyes gleaming with excitement We're going to uncover everything, InstantPunk.
