[There were two things unusual about Aya's Network Post today.  The first was that her eyes glowed.  A bright, iridescent green.  Not so brightly that she could have been in the presence of a Blue Lantern, but certainly enough to indicate she was accessing the very core of her Energy.]

I will do my best to keep this transmission as ░▒░▒░░▒ as is within the range of my capabilities at this time.

[The second was that, even as she spoke...eyes still glowing...the distinct clicking sound of keys could be heard.  Were one to pay close enough attention, the lower portions of her arms could be seen twitching.  She was simultaneously coding and rerouting and altering the transmission.]

As the current head of the Wayne Enterprise Science Department, as well as ░▒░░▒ of Stark ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ and member of the Green Lantern Corps, it is my responsibility to ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ the resources which are currently available to me.

I have been working for approximately 32.7 hours consecutively, studying the ░▒░░▒░▒ that is effecting the consoles, and how I may circumvent these external controls.  The highly complex meth--░▒░░▒░  ▒░░▒ are somewhat admirable, though I am ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ to admit as much, given the most likely source.  However, combined with the efforts of ░▒░░▒░ ▒░░▒░ ▒ ░░▒░▒░ ░▒░▒░░▒--

[A frown, and the transmission momentarily cuts out.]

[Then back in again.]

...that is better.

As I was saying, I am seeking those in Keelai with an expert knowledge in advanced programming and engineering who may aid me in my quest to fix this.  Access will be granted to any and all resources I am currently within my ability to provide you.

You may contact me at this location.  Be forewarned that no information exchanged will be deemed Classified.

Thank you.




{{GREEN LANTERN RING TRANSMISSION, with backdoor for BLUE LANTERN RING as well}}

I do not believe your rings have been compromised.  

However, I cannot be certain at this time, as I do not possess one of my own to analyze.

Comments

[i_speak_softly]

[This looks like the same person Don talked to the first time he attempted to transmit over the network - and she still looks green.]

[On the other hand, the feeds are still corrupted and he's about eight cups of coffee into his own hackathon, so he doesn't trust much that his senses are telling him right now.]

Donatello, logged in and ▒░░▒ing the protocols for ▒░░▒▒░░▒ to any ▒░░▒▒░░▒▒░░▒. What do you ▒░░▒ for me?

[looksfine]

[Aya frowned. Not at Don, but at the fact that even his short response was still highly distorted. She focused her energy on the new connection, providing just enough Green Lantern power to clear the channel without exposing too much of her own programming to whoever was behind this.]

We spoke before.

[Acknowledging that she recognized his presence. Reintroductions would not be necessary at this stage.]

There are sub-wavelengths I can not ░░▒░▒ ░░▒-fy at this time. It is subtle, but presen░░. Have you been able to identify the ▒░░▒░▒ on your end?

[i_speak_softly]

[Yeah, but he still doesn't know your name. If you mentioned it, it was lost in the static. Which, he can't help noticing, there is less of on this transmission.]

Not yet. I'm still new to this ░░▒nology. ... What are you doing to ░░▒s channel? It's clea░░▒ than the others.

[looksfine]

[Less of, but not completely gone. Which is why Aya's expression hardly seems proud, even though she acknowledged the comment as a reflection of the work she's still putting into the transmission.]

I am utilizing the ░▒░▒tion codes that would normally ░▒░▒▒░▒ the line. Although ▒░▒ does not allow us the priva░▒ we seek, it does ░░▒e transmission long enough to circu░▒░▒nt the majority of the interferen░▒.

My Green Lantern Energy ░▒░▒en░▒░▒ that the ░▒░░▒░ will remai▒ translated.

[i_speak_softly]

[Did you say "Green Lantern Energy"? Don has no idea what that is.]

What do you mean, ░▒░░nslated? Is there a pro░▒░░ with the data formatti░▒░░?

[looksfine]

[Would he like to?]

Not the data. I am ▒░▒erring to our current verba▒ conversation. Unless you are fl▒░▒ in the ▒░▒▒░▒ of my world, which I doubt you ▒▒▒░▒, there is a universal ▒░▒▒░▒ator allowing for us to understand ▒░▒ another.

It is similar, though not ▒░▒tical to the power of Gr▒░▒ ▒░▒tern Energy.

[Hal had never spent a lot of time on the consoles so upon hearing that they were down, he'd just completely abandoned it. Rings or face to face conversations were better in his opinion.]

Of course it wouldn't. [The possibility that it could is written off completely.] We're not talking about some computer here.

ring transmission;

[looksfine]

[Oh, Hal.]

You sound quite confident, Hal Jordan.

However, even if the rings themselves have not been compromised, we must not rule out the possibility that a third party possesses the ability to intercept transmissions. After all, I am able to communicate with you now.

ring transmission;

[animosus]

Not really, you're a lantern and your... energies are a form of the same energies we use in our constructs. Your software's compatible, but others aren't.

ring transmission;

[looksfine]

[She couldn't help smiling at the recognition of her being a lantern, even though that had not been her point. Her point was that, even without the Oan technology, one in possession of Green Lantern Energy on its own could potentially intercept any of their lines.]

[And, given the nature of how they had all been brought here, it would not be out of the realm of possibilities for their enemy to come into possession some of that Energy as well.]

Unless they possessed similar software.

ring transmission;

[animosus]

Doesn't matter if you don't have the will to use it. [From what he's heard, Ollie struggled hard just to make one flimsy construct so active communication and eavesdropping has got to be much harder.]

[looksfine]

And you are absolutely certain this is the case here?

ring transmission;

[alphatar]

Did you want to take a look at mine to double check, or are you going to need two rings?

ring transmission;

[looksfine]

One should suffice, as I am clearly capable of sending transmissions without a ring of my own.

[Though Aya also takes note of the fact that Korra is still the one answering. Not the younger Hal Jordan.]

ring transmission;

[alphatar]

You got it. I’ll be right over.

[Probably should have asked if that’s okay to do, but: Korra.]

ring transmission;

[looksfine]

[The invitation was vaguely implied, anyway.]

Are you familiar with the route to my quarters?

If not, I can send coordinates to your ring.

ring transmission;

[alphatar]

No! [Her answer's quick and a little wary.] No coordinates. I don't understand them yet. What suite are you in? I know my way around the city.

ring transmission;

[looksfine]

[Aya immediate took note of the hesitation in Korra's voice. The thought of not understanding simple directional instructions was foreign to her, but she simply applied it to a growing list of things she did not understand about many carbon-based life forms.]

[Perhaps she should teach Korra how to read them at a later, more convenient time.]

[And assume a portable harddrive was delivered to Aya's location with Mike's research thus far. Limited though it is, he's managed to make some important discoveries in what kind of viruses are spreading and the beginnings of what might eventually lead to restoring encryptions.]

[Best Present Ever.]

[Mike may not be able to detect on his end, but Aya smiled. Almost. Until she began to scan the information he was sending her, and could not help but take note of certain peculiarities.]

[burnseternal]

I believe that you are correct in that assumption. The enemy does not seem to be aware of each individual's possessions, our rings included. If you wish to check, however, you may analyse my ring.

ring transmission;

[looksfine]

With your permission, Blue Lantern Saint Walker, I would very much like to do so.

It would aid me in my current research greatly.
