[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.

[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.]

These viruses have only ░▒░▒ local console░, am I correct?

Has your research yet de▒░▒▒░ whether or not is more▒o the "local" or the "or▒░nic" components that seem to ▒░▒░▒░ the ▒░rus, comp-p-p▒░▒░ to Foreign ▒░░▒?

Apologies.

[A moment of verbal silence, in which she tried another "encryption"]

I asked what makes these consoles uniquely susceptible.

[oneofthegoodguys]

No idea.*!
M@&ic maybe.

[looksfine]

...please elaborate.

["Magic" didn't explain much of anything to her.]

[oneofthegoodguys]

On magic? I don't 8|now much.
Try Dick Gr@_son. Others gone.

[looksfine]

I will take note to speak with him on the subject at a later time, then.

[Mike clicks over to video and waves his hand in front of the camera, testing the response. It seems less glitchy, though not as clear as Aya's.]

The virus is a repeating pattern of shifting mutations that would be al- -ost impossible to follow if I hadn't seen one like it before. I may have found a way to restore the sec-cur-cur-curity of encrypted messages, but it won't do any good if the network is still compromised.

[Repeating Pattern of Shifting Mutations]

Is it poss▒░e the virus is Artificially In▒░▒░ent in ▒░ture?

video

[oneofthegoodguys]

[He pauses, frowning a little.]

Honestly, I hadn't thought of that. I don░░ ▒░▒░ink it is or I'm not sure I would be able to track it-t-t as well as I am, but ▒░o knows. Is th░▒░ ▒░ ░░▒░ay to test it?

video

[looksfine]

[Ask it questions?]

We could attem▒░ to isolate the vi▒░s and recreate a series of ▒░░▒░ ▒░vices to upload it too. Under careful ob▒░▒░▒░, there is a ▒░▒░lity we may be able to monitor any ▒░▒░▒░ent mutations it might make. Determine ▒░▒░▒░ the ▒░▒░▒░ is capable of independent growth.

[oneofthegoodguys]

I'm not willingly g░▒▒░▒░ ░░▒░ infect more systems. There's no guar░▒░▒░░ that it can't connect the ░▒░ystems into a network independently.

video

[looksfine]

If that were the ▒░▒░▒░, then why has it not already done so?

Why have my ▒░▒░▒░ not already been in▒░cted as well?

video

[oneofthegoodguys]

Your what? Wha░▒ ░▒░id you do?

[looksfine]

[She took a moment to reroute her transmission yet again, as the current one was getting worse.]

My systems.

I am alive, yes, but I still ▒░▒░ an Artificial Intelligence. One that is not immune to certain infection. [As she has the unfortunate experience of knowing first-hand.]

video

[oneofthegoodguys]

[He sighs.]

If ▒░▒u can get me three more comp░▒░░░ I'll try running it on e░▒░ ░▒░▒ ▒░esting them for unique ░▒░atterns or mutations.

[looksfine]

[Does this count as a victory on her end? For some reason, it feels like a victory.]

It should not be a problem.

video

[oneofthegoodguys]

Thank▒░

[looksfine]

Come by either ▒░fice at your earliest ▒░░▒░, and we can ▒░rk on this together.

Would that be ▒░▒░icient?

[oneofthegoodguys]

I'll ░▒░me when I can.

[looksfine]

Then I shall be ░▒░ting.
