‘Thought’

“Other speech”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I connected the breaker to the server. Holographic screen on the breaker lit up after interfacing with the server is completed and the digit 600 displayed on it. Then it automatically started copying all data from server.

‘Approx 10 minutes, just how much data is here? That breaker’s read write speed is almost 4gb/s’

~ 10 minutes huh? With that much data, looks like chief wasn’t too far off his mark, right buddy? ~

[I don’t really care Mike.]

Yeah, somehow chief is mostly right about these things. I guess nearly 25 year worth experience has its uses. Oh well, I don’t care whether he was right or wrong. I will finish my job and get a whole lot of money. I have a date with Neha tomorrow. I have never dated someone before, but as the saying goes there’s a first time for everything. She is a true beauty but I don’t know much about her. If she has a good personality, I may even consider going steady...

“Security breach detected. Lockdown sequence initiated. System lockdown in 10, 9”

A female voice interrupted my train of thoughts. Although late, seems like the server has somehow detected that our breaker has broken through their encryption.

[(Sigh) Really?]

~ Think we will make it? ~

Mike asked while we took position to cover the door.

[We better.]

Hologram on my revolver is showing I have 292 laser rounds left. Should be enough to fight our way through.

“4, 3, 2 ... Lockdown aborted ... Sufficient energy source detected in the vicinity. Initiating parallel world jump sequence. Parallel world jump in 5, 4”

~ [Huh?] ~
