The temperature dropped fairly steeply before it began to ramp up.

Any large supercomputer required a large amount of cooling to work properly, so this wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise was that Sylas had yet to run into anyone.

It was probably true that you could get away with almost anything just by acting confident enough, but he didn't think that things would actually go so smoothly.

He made it to the entrance of the supercomputer and was even more stunned.

The door, usually opened through a key lock, was open. Well, in part.

There was a wooden stump at the foot of the door and a heatwave was leaking from the inside.

'It must be because the key lock isn't reliable anymore. Convenient.'

Sylas pushed his way in.

The first thing that hit him was the noise. He could already hear it in the hallway, but in here it made one very uncomfortable. He could practically feel his eardrums rupturing.
