Chapter 4: Exodus part 2

Voutan- and that's simply it. The very moment the system gets cracked, the systems imidiately cut connection, send a counter-attack, and automatically update to adapt to block the new hack. It's a bit like a White Blood Cell. The more attacks, the stronger it gets. And as soon as it reaches invulnerablility, someone will come up with a new way to crack it, like any other system. Then it adapts to maintain its unpenitrability.

(He stands and heads for the base)
I have to found out what he meant

(He enters the base)
(He wanders the halls looking for Dormii)
(He stops off at the messhall)
A bagel was taken

(He continues out of the messhall looking)

=i keep wandering around, looking for Jay= I'm starting to wonder if she ever left the vent

=tar looks into the rec room in curiosity of the heated discussion=
hmm?

(He spots Dormii walking)
(He walks up to him)
@Dormii
What did you mean.
Back there.

Voutan- In the rare event that a hacker is able to crack the security before it is disconnected, the entire system shuts down and performes a system-wide purge of any foreign things. On top of the counter-attack.

Back when?

(He looks at him)
@Dormii
In the hallway

(frantic)

What did you mean.
Something about, getting rid of Zayne.

Voutan- Trust me. The system works. I've been on quite a substantial amount of missions, and almost every time someone has tried to hack my systems. So far, not a single person has been able to. Not even the ones who's bounty was put on them for using major hacking.

@Voutan
I'm gonna go find Immer, have fun arguing.
=walks away to find Immer=

Oh. It won't get rid of him, but it will make him null, harmless, pathetic. The only problem with it, is you practically have to wear your armor all the time, for fear of him getting out. It's simple, but can affect how you live you life.

Voutan- It's been tried. It hasn't worked. Even then, Sunreion can fend off any hack he has ever encounterd.

(He thinks)
@Dormii
I will do anything to protect her.

hey, immer! where are you?
=continues wandering around the ship=

Put your armor on, helmet and all. I will basically upload a modified version of my lockdown script. If your eyes ever change color, like when you lose control, it will lock your armor down and color your visor, to let people know what is happening.

It will only work if all of your armor is on, helmet and everything. If anything is missing, you leave him able to act. You sure you want that?

Sunreion- Actually, i recently was attacked by the one you call "Dormii". I was able to do a full scan of his programs, and analized quite a bit of new information. The systems have been fully adapted and updated to deal with any possible threats from these new programs.

Voutan-
=points up at the ceiling, as if motioning to Sunreion=
Yes, that.

@Dormii
I will.....still be able to take off my armor.
He will just continue to have the same reign as before.
Just with my armor on he is restricted.

(He nods)
I will do anything to protect her

Exactly. It's not perfect, but it's the best I can do. It worked well for my the other night.

Ready?

(He puts his helmet on)
Andrea, allow program.

*Yes*

(He looks at Dormii)
@Dormii
Do it.

=chuckless=

no offense voutan but please when he attempted that hack he wasn't trying and he was using a sytem that is
pretty much outdated he could easily do it when given the right motivation and tech to prove it while we've been talking my current sytem has already collected this ships data and is transferring it to a undisclosed lcation to be then transferred to the trophaeum

=Ash leaves the pelican cockpit, she see's the rest of her armour=
I guess I should put this on... I don't know what will happen next...

=She puts on her helmet and the rest of her armour=
I should find the others... Say goodbye...

=She leaves the Pelican and heads for the base=

=i upload the program to his armor. i can imagine the code flashing on his hud=

Code:

 if {eye_color==red} then {remove_all_lockdown}

if {eye_color=/red} then {apply: lockdown; color: visor: black} then {lockdown_attributes: position==kneeling; allow--comm, hud, speaker}

*Program uploaded, whenever he takes over you will go into lockdown*

@Both
Thank you

@Dormii
For everything you have done.

=i bow slightly, smiling as i take off my helmet, which i put on to send him the code= Is what I am here for. Now I just need to help Ash...

=She reaches the base and heads inside, she can still smell the smoke from the mini gun=
Maybe its to soon... I will just find someone and tell them to say goodbye for me...

=She walks around the halls=

(He takes off the mini-gun and replaces it with his right arm)
That is not how I wanted to test it.

(A tear trickles down his covered face)

=i put my hands on his shoulders= Hey, that was not your fault. It was Zayne's. Do not take his blame. You will never be free of him if you keep doing that.

(He looks away)
@Dormii
I will never be free from him period.

(He walks to the nearest wall and leans on it)

But if you keep accepting responsibility for him, he grows that much stronger. Think of him as a child, a violent child but a child nonetheless. Let him know that he receives punishment for his actions. Taking over when you don't want him to, lockdown. Attacking Ash, no weapons. Something like that.

=She enters the messhall and sits down=
I don't know if I want to find them yet...

=She sighs and drops her head on the table=
I'll just wait here... I'm so tiered...

=She closes her eyes=

(He looks down)
@Dormii
Yeah.

(He smiles)
You remind me so much of Matthew

=i smile= Oh? How so? By the way, wanna get something to eat?

(He looks up)
@Dormii
Father figure.
Giving advice.
Yeah lets get something to eat.

=we start walking back to the mess hall= Huh, i never thought I was a father figure. I thought I was just a crazy guy in Ice Color power armor.

=i laugh=

=gets done talking and decides to find some sandwhiches and sees the others=

oh wow didn't know u guys were here

@Dormii
That as well.

(He laughs)

(They enter the messhall)
(He sees Ash laying her head down on a table)
(He backs away)

She doesnt want to see me.

What makes you say that? Because you lost control? That wasn't you.

=i walk over to the food counter and grab some actual food. i go and sit down quietly near Ash=

=heads to the back of the mess hall grabs some sandwhiches as well as a slice of pie=

hopefully the don't notice me

(He timidly walks over, gets some food and sits across from Ash)
(He begins eating silently)

=She moves slightly muttering quietly in her sleep=
Get... out...

=i keep eating, ignoring the comment=

(He continues to eat)
(Occaisionally glancing up at Ash)

No... Its blocked...

=She coughs and slowly opens her eyes=
What..? Oh..

=She realises that she fell asleep, she spots Draco and Dormii=

Oh... Hi...

=She glances away=

Hey, wanna talk?

=i take a bite of a sandwich=

=She turns back to Dormii=
About what? There's nothing to talk about...

=She buried her head in her hands=
Ugh... I'm to tiered for this..

=He watches a Zeru leaves the ship. Sunreion displays his avatar on the table in front of Voutan=

Voutan- Did you get it?

Sun- Yes. Hack attempt recorded, analized. Systems adapted.

Voutan- but what about the data?

Sun- Oh its no trouble. I would expect the person who designed the program to know about it.

Voutan- Ooh. you used the substitution program. So what did you send him?

Sun- An old corrupted data file on a covonant Seraph.

=they both chuckle a bit=
