[Meanwhile somewhere in Russia]

Yaroslav - "Zavershite eto kak mozhno skoreye, durak".

[Complete it as soon as possible you fool]

Egor - "Ni odin iz portov ne otkryt".

[None of the ports are open]

Sergey - "YA ne mogu nayti servis, rabotayushchiy na khoste".

[I can't find any service running on the host.]

Yaroslav - "Togda ne smotri na moye chertovo litso. Starat'sya".

[Then don't look at my fucking face. Try harder]

Egor and Sergey looked at each other in panic. They knew that it wasn't a good sign as their boss was getting extremely angry.

Egor whispered,

Sergey !!! Mne zdes' ne povezlo. Pomogi mne.

[Sergey !!! I am out of luck here. Help me.]

Yaroslav heard even the faintest voice of Egor and hissed,

O Bozhe !!! Vy dali mne kuchu debilov.

[Oh God !!! You have given me a bunch of morons]

Saying that he pulled Egor's chair aside and logged in to the system himself and tried all possible commands on the terminal. He tried to ping all the host IP's that he knew of, but there was no reply from any of the IP's.

He held his head in panic and screamed.

"YA takoy mertvyy. So dead. I am so so dead".

He immediately called on a private number.

"We are unable to locate any servers. Nothing is happening. Why no servers are on? I cannot ftp into their system if it is not live. You told me they were all active servers but they are not".

Peter heard his words and his throat just dried up.

He had no clue what to say next.

After panicking for a while he said,

"Can you try it once, rather than your boys".

"I wouldn't have called you without trying myself first. I am unable to breach it in the first place. Forget about attaining admin access to the servers."

"My boss isn't going to be happy about it".

"I used my best boys".

"I know, maybe I didn't", Peter said and disconnected the call all pissed.

He took a couple of deep breaths as he wasn't sure how to break the news in front of Vikram. But there was no time to wait. GCG finale was tomorrow and something was needed to be done asap. So he rushed towards his cabin.

"Come in".

"Tell me you have some good news with you. My ears are tuning into stone listening to everything wrong that's going around me".

Peter hung his head hearing him speak and seeing him all dejected Vikram could easily guess that it was bad news.

"Ok, now just tell what is it. I have no patience".

"Yaroslav was unable to breach Delphie's systems".

Vikram took a deep breath and looked at Peter. He was unable to understand if all planets had aligned against him or they were aligned to favor Raymond, or probably both.

"What about we give him more money. What if Raymond has given him more money than us?"

"It's not about money sir. He said that he is unable to breach into the systems in the first place".

"Yaroslav is unable to breach? I cannot believe that."

"The problem is, to be able to breach you needs the systems alive Sir. All the servers of Delphie have been shut down apparently. I could understand that much only from the conversation".

"It's not possible. Without the servers, they will not be able to do anything. He needs all the data from the server. His emulation needs to run from the server tomorrow. One or two servers may be off. Can't he hack the rest?

"No, sir. He clearly mentioned that all the servers were offline. Every single one of them".

"That's freaking impossible", he said and rested his forehead in his palm.

He was slowly switching into panic mode.
