Archival Science in a Post-War Simulation


Archival Science Databanks

Communications intercept. Transmission detected Tue 11th of Sep 2007 at 08:55 AM by Othinn. Communique follows:



*Escort a Zion hacker to crack into a Machine network.*


Tyndall: Wasp needs help cracking some data that he's uncovered deep within a Matrix Network. The only operative that can hack into this data is Annapavlov and her communcation link with the hovercraft seems to be down right now.

Find Annapavlov and escort her to Wasp so we can take advantage of this weak point before it is fixed.

Operator: Annapavlov isn't expecting you because of the broken communcation link.

Annapavlov: I haven't gotten a single transmission from Tyndall during the past hour. What? The link is dead? That figures! With all of these new recruits, I'm not surprised that our system is straining under the load.

You say that Wasp needs my help? I can follow you to him.

Operator: Tell Annapavlov to follow you by right-clicking on her and selecting the "Follow Me" interaction.

Annapavlov: Let's go.

Tyndall: That's an excellent start, Warrior. Ensure that Annapavlov reaches Wasp safely. You have his coordinates -- go there now.

Annapavlov: We should keep moving.

Operator: I think Wasp is still trying to hack through the Machine Network. He'll be glad to see you and Annapavlov.

Wasp: I'm going to need Annapavlov's help with this protocol if I'm going to get past the firewall.

Computer: if ((networkvar = getinf("FWALL")) = =
VALID)
(
log("GetInf(): getinf(FWALL) failed");
fprintf(stderr, "Can't get FWALL environment variable. Exiting\n");
return(ERR);
)
sprintf(inf)name, "/s", networkvar,
CONFIG_FILE);
>Command:
> _

Operator: Wasp should be able to wrap things up. I'll make sure that Tyndall sends a repair crew to Annapavlov's hovercraft to get the communcation link repaired.

Annapavlov: Let's see what we can do, Wasp.

Wasp: Am I glad to see you! I've been trying to crack into this network's source for days.

Tyndall: You did well, Warrior. Contact me when you are ready for your next assignment.
