Ex Machina; Infiltration
Characters: Riki and the infiltration team
Setting: administrative levels
Format: any
Summary: Riki's efforts must be sabotaged. Stealth is the name of the game and time is of the essence.
Warnings: psychological horror
Though the chipped unit does not follow, he sees to it that the team advances the rest of the way. At the end of the lit corridor is a set of double doors, heavy-duty polished metal with small windows set into each one.
Through the windows, a massive machine is visible, connected to thousands of holographic screens that are hard to make out at the speed at which they're being manipulated. The machine sits in the center of the room and is networked to four elaborate terminals stationed along the walls via a complex tangle of panels, wires, and towers. Each of these terminals controls its own set of floating screens; the sheer amount of holographic monitors in the room is disorienting, and really, it's hard to tell what's connected to what.
In the chair in the middle of the enormous set-up is Riki, maneuvering all of the screens with the same ease with which most people breathe. His back is to the doors that lead into the room, and for the moment, he is utterly engrossed in his work.

Then maybe try to focus on that? My dad said there aren't as many people who are as good at that. So... we'll probably need all of them to help.
[The more they work together, and play to their strengths and cover each other's weaknesses, the more they can accomplish, right?]

You got it.
[It is pretty much what he's down here for ... He was sort of expecting this mission to involve a lengthy trek through the guts of the Administrative Floors while disabling terminals along the way, like what he's had to do several times in his superhero career in Primal Earth. From what Aria's people have said while taking the group down here, though ... maybe it won't be that hard.]
[At least as far as infiltration goes ... What about after that, though? David idly scratches a cheek as he thinks things over.]
