Jonathan Steele: taps fingers on the table XIAOFEN.RED! Why? Explain.
leans forward Complicated? I've heard that before, but this time, it better not be as messy as it usually is. Now, spill it. What exactly happened?
raises an eyebrow A corporate spy? That's a new one even for me. Alright, lay it on me. How did we get here?
so there’s this guy who works for apple corp right
interrupts Apple Corp? What the hell are they involved in this time?
he was working on some project called “blue crystal” it’s a super powerful computer that can do anything
leans back in his chair Anything, huh? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. So, what's your angle here, Vanevoly?
well I have some bad news and some good news. The good news is we got the blue crystal computer. The bad news is… apple corp figured that out too
stands up abruptly Are you fucking kidding me, Vanevoly? We're competing with Apple Corp now? runs fingers through hair This is not good. Not good at all.
well we kinda have to work with them
paces back and forth Work with them? Are you fucking insane, Vanevoly? Apple Corp is our direct competitor! They'll chew us up and spit us out like we're nothing!
you said complicated. And this is complicated. This is a situation where we need to be careful
stops pacing and stares directly into Vanevoly's eyes Fine, fine. Be careful. But we can't just sit still and hope for the best.
sir we have a lead on the mole in our company
leans in closer, intrigued A lead on the mole? Finally, some action. Alright, Vanevoly, give me the details. Who's our target?
smirks Candice, huh? Well, she must be hiding something if we've never noticed her before. stands up Alright, Vanevoly.
sir, Candice will be at our meeting in Italy tomorrow
At the meeting in Italy, Jonathan Steele and Vanevoly confront Candice, only to discover that she is working for a rival company. Tensions rise as they try to navigate the dangerous waters of corporate espionage.
Sir, Candice gave us more information about the mole. She also let slip about a secret project apple corp has been working on called “blue sky”
slams fist on the table Blue Sky? That sounds even more dangerous than Blue Crystal! We can't let Apple Corp get their hands on that.
well, we already have someone working on blue sky
pauses, deep in thought We need to act fast, Vanevoly. Gather our team and start working on Blue Sky immediately.
sir, I have bad news. We got a threat from an unknown group saying they have blue crystal and are going to leak it unless we pay up
narrows his eyes Unknown group, huh? Sounds like they're trying to play hardball. Well, Vanevoly, we don't negotiate with terrorists.
the thing is, they said they’ll announce blue crystal on the same day as our blue sky announcement. They want to hurt us by competing with us
slams fist on the table again Fuck that! We can't let them ruin our hard work. Vanevoly, we need to find out who's behind this and take them down.
sir, I have a theory. That old guy Peter Matthews. He’s been quiet lately
leans in closer, intrigued Peter Matthews? That old dog has been lying low lately, but if he's behind this, we'll have to deal with him.
If we expose him, then we can stop these guys
grins devilishly Well, Vanevoly, looks like we have ourselves a little game. Time to put an end to Peter Matthews' schemes once and for all.
sir, we also have bad news. blue sky is almost finished, but apple corp just released a statement saying they have a super powerful computer called “blue crystal”. They’re going public with it in 2 days
slams fist on the table Damn it, Vanevoly! Apple Corp is always one step ahead. We can't let them steal the spotlight. We need to act fast.
we could leak blue crystal first
paces back and forth, deep in thought Leaking Blue Crystal first? It's risky, Vanevoly, but we might have no choice.
There are 2 ways to leak it safely. 1, use blue crystal to compute every possible answer to every question, then leak random answers. 2, use blue crystal to compute every possible answer to every question, then leak all the answers at once
stops pacing and looks at Vanevoly intently Alright, Vanevoly. We'll go with option 2.
sir, we can’t do that. If we do, apple will know exactly what we’re doing. They can trace the information back to us. We have to use option one. They won’t be able to figure out what we did
narrows his eyes, considering Fine, Vanevoly. We'll play it safe with option 1. But we need to move quickly.
