Chương 28: Chapter 12
"…. …. …." — Spoken words
'…. …. ….' — Thoughts/Inner Dialog (Now when the system speaks it will appear '.....' instead of []. Just a minor change, but also I gave the system a bit of personality.)
[ System Mission or Info ] —— When the system panel (the transparent screen) pops up, only then will it have []
---------------------------------------------------------
'Un-hackable isn't a word. But you are right, it's pretty tough to crack, but the prowler drive will be able to do it. But even if you do, the whole information is encrypted.' The main problem is getting inside the server room in the first place. 'A single mistake and you lose all the data.'
Toya felt just a headache hearing that. 'Okay any tips on how I can get into the server room, I don't think breaking in is a option.'
'No it isn't.' The system said, 'It would almost immediately warn the AI inside and maybe call all the security to you. Though, I its one of the most fast yet hard approaches.'
Even though Toya didn't know about techs that much, but he was sure that the prowler-drive shouldn't work that way. Meaning the system would make adjustments for it.
The system was being pretty generous about helping him in this mission. He didn't know if it would always be the case, or if it exclusive for this mission only.
If it was the latter, then what secrets did the association hide in here. There is a saying that 'Ignorance is bliss.' He hoped this wasn't the case.
The mini-map showed him at least twenty people outside the storage room. Only a few of them had quirks that could hamper him, the rest were just white-collar workers with below average quirks.
Toya needed a huge distraction if he wanted to get to the server room and he needed it fast. It wouldn't be long before the security finds that two of their guards were out of duty.
Rubbing his chin, he started looking around the room. But then something caught his attention.
.
Suddenly an alarm went off on the 25th floor as the people started panicking. It was a fire alarm. According to regular security messieurs, the guards started escorting the panicked office workers through the emergency exit. While some authorized security staff started looking around.
They burst open one of the old storage rooms to find it aflame. Looking at the fried circuit board they could guess that it was an electric malfunction. It also made the whole sensors in the 25th floor go haywire.
Toya was already running by then. The map was pretty useful for knowing where people were, but he had to look out for security camera's himself, they won't show up on the map.
Snapping his fingers he created short fire-sparks blue in color. And every time he would see a camera he would throw it upfront, before closing his eyes. It acted as a short flash-grenade but without the annoying sound. It was a great way to avoid security cam attention, without destroying them.
But Toya knew that the Association security wasn't that easy to fool. So he had to move fast. Turing around the corner, he found the door that led to the server room.
The door had a digital lock in it. Without that, the server room wouldn't open, also trying to break in could alert the security to the servers. He wasn't sure what type of measurements were taken to hold the classified data, but he was damn well sure that breaking in would be a foolish move.
And also a hard one. His strongest flames couldn't even cut through the metal lairing on the door, so it was quirk based item. He could cut through with time, but that was thing he didn't have much.
Toya took out the two security cards that he took from the guards trying them out, but the lock denied it. 'System, now would be a good time to give a hint.' No replay came.
'Shit, now what.'
"Hey, lock down the area." A voice came from the back, someone or a few people were coming towards the server room. Toya looked around, but it was an empty hallway, he couldn't hide.
But from his mini-map he found something and looked up. It was another air-vent. Well, time to copy a move from his favorite web slinger.
.
"Make sure no one comes here." The white-suited man said. The four men in black security guards nodded. And the white-suited man went in after pressing the security codes. But he suddenly stopped midway when he heard something from the back.
Looking back he saw the four guards unconscious and a man wearing a white mask with black and red clothing standing tall over their bodies. His eyes widened but before he could do anything the man was already on him and the world turned black.
Toya looked at the white-suited, apolitically before laying him on the corner. "I am… sorry." He said to the unconscious bodies.
"Oh," He saw the door of the server room open. "And thank you." With that, he slipped in.
.
Yokumiru Mera was having a bad day. First, it all started with a bad coffee in the morning. Being the head in charge of the Hero Public Safety Commission or Hero Association was no joke. And the president of the Association was out of the country, leaving him with all the responsibilities.
Including the huge stacks of paperwork that wouldn't let him get enough sleep, now he also had to supervise other things. But the should have been over, even for a workaholic like him staying after nine was a no-go.
He was just about to leave, when his desk telephone ringed. He frowned. It was from the receptionist on the ground floor. 'That's odd.'
"Sir, there is a representative from Korea that came here. He's being led to your office." The person on the side said.
That made Yokumiru frown, but there wasn't any appointment that the president mentioned to him. "Okay, I will be here." There goes his dream of not doing overtime today.
Then a thought crossed his mind. Was it a fake? If there was an agent coming from another country he should have been notified. But who in the right mind would infiltrate…
His sentence was caught mid-sentence when another phone on his desk ringed. He picked it up, "Sir, we are evacuating the 25th floor due to some issues. Please be noted." It was a voice-mail from the security.
But that sentence made his blood run cold, floor 25 hid something very important. Was it a coincidence. He wasn't a man to believe in it.
He quickly took out his personal phone. He had a hunch, not a good one.
The man put his phone on his ear after dialing in a number. "Giriot, you are on the 25th floor right?"
"Not, even a hello…" Giriot was his long-time friend even while he was a rank below him, Giriot never used honorifics, nether did he mind.
"Please! This is serious." He said, while he heard his friend clear his throat.
"Yes, but why? Is it about the evacuation?"
"Yes, something like that. Giriot, I need you to go to the server room… …" after some time he finished explaining, he left the important bits out, but told him enough to get the job done. "Call me as soon as you get in."
With that, he sat on his chair. Just to be safe he pulled out the security cam inside the server room. With that, he found some relief. Still, he just couldn't let go of the lingering felling.
Some time passed, but no call came. He was about to call Giriot again, when he saw someone inside the server room through the security camera. And it wasn't Giriot. The newcomer looked at the camera before it became blank.
"What the…," he said, jumping out of his seat. Someone knew what was inside that room. Only a few knew it, what hid in that chamber. A backup of the classified information. It would be catastrophic if that information was compromised. Even though it was encrypted with one of the best quirk users, he knew it was better for him to stop the thief right now, then regret later.
One of them was all the agents that were on a mission would be compromised. What Yokumiru Mera didn't know was that, the association was also keeping their dirty secrets in there.
He started calling the security to the 25th floor, before putting the whole building on lockdown. And as a last resort he called the number one hero just to be safe. Whoever it was he needed to be stopped, at all cost.
