*Shutdown a Network Mainframe to access vital data.*
Tyndall: Liosazer, I am glad to hear from you. I have an interesting assignment that should provide a bit of excitement.
You will be breaking into a near-by building that is crawling with programs, stealing Access Codes to a Mainframe, shutting down the Mainframe and then pulling data from the network. Once you've pulled that off, you will be updated with the rest of your assignment. I wish you well, Warrior!
Operator: This is where you can find the Mainframe. I'll be watching to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Security: Get 'em!
Security Captain: You're not authorized to be here!
Computer: > Access Code granted.
> You may remove the Access Code now.
> _
Operator: The Access Codes are on the Map Disk. Take it.
Operator: You've found the Access Codes to the Mainframe! With these you will be able to shut down their network.
Mainframe: > Network shutdown initiating...
> Network shutdown!
> Saving cached data to disk.
Operator: The firewall is coming down... Perfect! Now get that data onto a disk.
Operator: Liosazer... Just a moment... I'm getting a message from the operator of the hovercraft that was overseeing the data extraction on the Merovingian network... They need you to assist the crew into the Merovingian base, as they are now a man short.
Tyndall: I've given you the location where the crew is waiting for you. Just make your way there and take over as leader for the strike.
Operator: This is where you will find the Zion operatives. The captain's name is Ercilla.
Ercilla: We were told that you can lend us a hand. It's good to have you with us. Well... lead on!
Algunde: Let's roll.
Tyndall: Make your way to the Merovingian base. The address is being sent to you now.
Ercilla: Where to?
Algunde: Lead on, boss.
Operator: Search each computer you find. Once the primary mission objectives are completed, get your men out of the base.
Merovingian Soldier 1: Wha?!
Merovingian Soldier 2: You fool!
Merovingian Soldier 3: How could you be so foolish!
Computer 1: 334 (sol)snprintf(buf,

M++) (

339 strcpy(mp, user[i]);
340 }
Operator: I've done well.
Computer 2: 317 sol

321 raked int i, rem;
322 char buf[BUFSIZ];

Operator: The data stream on the code is pulling all of this. Excellent.
Computer 3: 325 if (!remask)

sending to a masked machine */

can see what has been deleted

for the connection.

Operator: I'm logging the data right now!
Operator: That was the last computer. You've outdone yourself, Liosazer.
Ercilla: Our work is done. We'll stay here and hold the fort.
Algunde: Thanks for the help, Liosazer.
Tyndall: I would like to personally thank you for your diligence and dedication to Zion, Warrior! You are one of the true believers who continue to uphold the truce that Neo has brought us. There are others who are easily dissuaded into working for the Machines, or even the Exiles, but your faith in Zion speaks through your actions.
