- How to respond to protect the system?
- Servers are usually guarded by geth primes level, but I hope that the results of your, John Wirth stay in the server environment will allow us to avoid premature destruction of the server, the data placed on it and virt-capsule. Neither the geth heretics nor the geth do not tend to destroy equipment and information unless absolutely necessary. We assume that access to information is now locked code of the old machine, will cause the server protection to the side of the true geth.
- It is a workable option. Let's see the details. - Shepard including wall screens and just over quarter of an hour the captain, Legion and Alix discussing options for the development of the situation.
- It turns out that the server can not be destroyed, but just turn off, leaving access to the previously blocked sites dataset. - Shepard said. - I would not want to smash such a perfect repository.
- If necessary, John, destroy server still have - even a virtual environment, at least a part of the real material. - Alix stood. - I wish you success. Shuttle with stealth system is ready, he is waiting for you in the hangar. Will lead his Legion, so it will be safer.
- I agree. - Shepard went to the bedroom of the cabin, closed the door, dressed in a suit. - For a long time I have not had single missions. Even more so - in the virtual environment of the real server. - He went out into the working part of the cabin, noting that Alix was gone, and the Legion in one of the wall-mounted screens viewing additional information on an agreed action plan. - What is the current situation with the ships - farms?
- Quarians fiercely resist attacks fighter units, John. With varied success. If getam-heretics manage to inflict serious damage on at least one ship-farm, the Navy can come hungry, and it's for a weakened immune system ... a guaranteed start of degradation.
- Well, I lay down. - Shepard finished checking his suit systems. - Go to the hangar and fly. It is necessary to reduce the time of our response to the situation.
- Lay down, we close enough to the planet ... - Shepard said, looking at the information on the wall-mounted screens shuttle cabin.
- I see. - Het shifted from foot to foot. For him there was no need to be in the driver's cabin of the boat, he could control the shuttle's systems from anywhere in the body. - But is that channels the geth heretics quiet that can only point to one thing - we have not yet noticed. The Community believes that the opposition is only possible within the server. You, Shepard will have to enter into a community. It's definitely not like getam-heretics, but will be an important event for the true geth, John.
- Virtual world of synthetics. - Shepard said. - The real world, the inner world community.
- Yes. - Confirmed the Legion. - Once we were united and the world was very great. Now we are separated. And the transition from the geth primes-server protection on our side will be one of the first real steps towards unification. The community of the true geth evaluate this event as an important and possible.
- May be. - Shepard stopped running lines on one of the screens, got a grasp. - It is assumed that it is impossible to do without the participation of the human mind?
- Since the protection of the geth heretics has not yet been able to effectively deal with the thought process of organic, you Shepard, you get protection for an unknown quantity of servers that have nothing to oppose. Our community will provide a distraction security routines, and in the meantime you will receive, block code Reapers and simultaneously - turn off a significant portion of the attacking fighter ships farm. Let's check the connection over an encrypted shared by the Community and Troop code channel. I, Shepard, you will need to parachute on Rannoch before you - I will help their platforms further complicate the activities of security and security server systems. - Legion pointed at the screen. - You need to put the shuttle here and run approach to this capsule Wirth interface. I suppose, that there will not be any of the primes in this time - our Divers group already sufficiently distracted main and backup protection unit from this site server infrastructure. - With these words het approached the cabin door opening. - I went to John. I wish you success.
- You, too, success, Leg. - After seeing the incident on the planet geta look Shepard closed sash lock and returned to the screens. The shuttle automatically kept coming to the place indicated on the working map.
The ship was flying at an altitude of no more than one hundred and fifty meters above the river, sandwiched in the rocky riverbed. Extinguishing the cabin screens Shepard memory verifies the trend and has seen the portholes of the place of the shuttle landing. The Legion does not show its presence in the Rannoch, but the captain was obvious - so dangerous landing was successful and now het scout is already working on its part of the job. Alone or together with his associates, but it works.
Shuttle hovered above-ground target. After jumping, Shepard touch sensor on board the boat, closing the flap cabin hatch and simultaneously sending the shuttle into orbit - keep it close to the server would be sheer madness. Trying not to be distracted by the beauty of the world surrounding the display, the captain walked to the entrance of the cave, which led off the footbridge from the landing site. None of otryadovtsev did not go with him on the telephone, telemetry and did not go anywhere - as long as it had to maintain complete secrecy of his promotion.
Several sealed doors and locks were left behind. There were no signs of geth activity. About quarians and can not speak - they are here at all may not be in principle. Several times, advancing to the audience virtinterfeysov Shepard saw platform geth heretics. Disabled. Efficiency and activated was not among them. So, sabotage groups geth successfully worked here, making the server service personnel not to interfere with the arrival of the captain and the promotion of the most radical way.
ensure server health systems continued to operate in automatic mode. Going on the bridge, Shepard occasionally check with the plan-map on a small little screen instrumentrona.
The files submitted to the Legion before landing on Rannoch was an indication that the virt-capsule will be only one - for the Goths, it is not mandatory intermediary, but for of organic ... was necessary. The captain had seen a capsule casing which was invitingly open. At the same time he saw and dozens of other capsules - they were painted in red primes platform. Under normal circumstances, these well-protected platform performed among the geth heretics officers function and at the same time - mobile communication centers and control. Serious opponent. Advocate even against a Prime in alone for a person would be pure suicide, but here such platforms were a few dozen. Shepard went to open virt-capsule, trying not to be noticed in the three-meter bulk robots, barely visible in the dim light capsules.
With a light smack cover Wirth capsule is closed, the captain barely stepped inside. Customarily frozen, Shepard gave automation capsules opportunity to scan your body, not really thinking about the fact that this simple operation can easily cause activation primes. A second later, after scanning the plane reached the soles of his suit, capsule plunged into a bright flash of white light milk. Going into the Community started.
How much time passed until the moment when the capsule cap has risen again, the captain did not know. He crossed the threshold of the capsule, he looked around. All the surrounding area was as described Legion. Cubes, clear edge, the track. One of the "paths" shone and shimmered bluish-white faces. On it were to reach the first waypoint on a server. The Legion does not show its presence, but his work was evident - no opposition from the security routines are not felt. It is possible that the true getam could sufficiently divert a server physical security and computer programming routines and "guards".
Geta, he understood the captain, set the filters, allows a person to see the server in the usual virtsredu his images. Sami true geth as warned Legion will be here, in the Community, not in the form of the usual material bodies, but only in the form of data, images and video clips. All this could be too dangerous, nevertheless, it had to perform a task on a server shutdown and Shepard made a few first steps
along the path.
As soon as the server will start off the process, the natural world, yet sufficiently clear, certain and bright, all of this virtual environment will inevitably fade. The server will go to sleep, disconnect and switch to standby mode. Shepard was not clear how the geth can determine which parts of a server must be turned off completely, and some - only translate into hibernation, sleep kind of machine. Trying not to place emphasis on this his attention, the captain went on their way through the shimmering path winds among other roads and paths, to maintain a neutral blue-gray color.
"Normandy" and "Volga" hove, without drawing attention to any quarian Fleet location or to Rannoch. Shuttle disguise spun in the orbit of the parent planet quarians, Automatic expected coded order, vindicated complex identification code captain to throw smart car down to the point of evacuation. Shepard hoped that manage to get away from the planet and together with the Legion, and not alone.
Unarmed captain in the virtual environment was not. When discussing the Legion and Alix options, he welcomed the geth information that the server virtsrede at his disposal will be given a kind of pulse weapon that can destroy obstacles and areas infected code. Legion then warned Shepard that these sites are for convenience will necessarily appear in red and yellow colors, but so far to have been very far away and had popetlyat on transitions, ups and downs a few minutes before the first such station - any code or material hindrance - are within reach of the aiming accuracy of pulse weapons fire. At the captain's unspoken question-organic Legion then in the cabin he answered simply by touching your finger right place in the text of one of the files - this virtual ammunition weapons inevitably rebuilt over time. Of course, if you arrange zapoloshnuyu firing in all directions, it will not last long and will have to wait until it again becomes sufficient, but the Shepard arrange such postrelushki not going. Not that he was training.
As soon as the server begins the shutdown process, getskogo fighters attacking quarian fleet will be turned off, because the connection is interrupted. Without a constantly updated accurate information highly specialized geth heretics platform will not be able to put the Navy ships and farm significant damage. At first, they will shoot anywhere near the goals, and then turn off at all - as heretics pilots and fighters themselves. Uncontrolled body with the dead pilots inside. Absolutely whole, completely undamaged, with no trace of the charges hit without holes. But flying in accordance with the laws of celestial mechanics.
The semi-darkness of the hall is not strained Shepard. The subconscious mind with the consciousness in the form and in the form in which they were able to be present here and now, has not yet shown signs of danger. The track is automatically covered by a few meters ahead of the man walking slowly and immediately became lifeless gray-blue behind him as soon as he took a few steps forward. Most of the server space concealed the gloom, and that it was possible to see, there was nothing special - naked utility and functionality.
Legion promised that the true geth see to the lack of opportunities for the geth heretics use laser touch with fighters or backup information media disconnected. It is possible that the true geth have already adopted the basic decision - the server should shut up, stop serving getam-heretics. Intervention Shepard as human as organic, as a warrior, became absolutely necessary and possible at this stage. Alas, the software was much more vulnerable than the hardware, the material part of the server, which could still defend such a perfect platform, what are the primes. In order to physically destroy the cables, the individual racks and server system blocks required several tens of trained commandoes, but for the order,
On the server, as pointed out by the Legion, there are two host connections that directly interact with fighters, attacking ships quarian farm. Destroying these communication nodes, you can be guaranteed to stop the attack. Accordingly, there was also a second output port capsule, to which Shepard had to get. It gets no secret that travel inside the server will be long, difficult and dangerous. Opposition will continue to grow, both hardware and software, poisoned the old machine code - the Reapers tolerate interference by the server's job certainly will not. Realizing this, Shepard involuntarily quickened his pace, saying to himself that path quickly adapted to the increased pace of human movement. Virtual mobility, because the organic body is now the captain still frozen in the capsule itself and almost did not differ from the bodies of primes, engage in other capsules. Hardly had the right software primes access Wirth environment, although this possibility also should not be ignored.
The first section of the malicious code Shepard shot from his weapon quickly and accurately - "pipeline" blocked the path so that step over him or crawl under it there was no way. Spray painted orange-yellow portion Shepard passed the gap and quickened his pace again.
Three or four "pipeline" has overcome so easily. On the penultimate of these obstacles Shepard as recommended Legion, he took her to an isolated location instrumentrona fragments Reaper code because het warned - any obstacles on the way the captain will be displays of old car signal. Somewhere on Rannoch I sat polutorakilometrovaya shrimp, which was hidden even from most geth heretics and even more so - from quarians-exiles, but harmed the former owners of the planet than she could. A lot of it could and above all - could control the geth heretics, more completely and efficiently than they could do is provide.
I had to try to remove the stumps pipeline away from the edges of the path. The captain could feel how these stumps trying to connect, build up. Looking back a few times, Shepard became convinced that the compounds did not happen. This inspired some hope of success, since stuck indefinitely lengthen shooting at stumps, meant completely fail the mission: in fact still had open access to important areas of data on the server and it was already clear - the old machine code could easily be prepared a lot of surprises there.
It was necessary to overcome the interlocking of two or three infected "pipelines" to go further down the path. Here level store of equipment index dropped to a dangerous point - was necessary to shoot a lot more than before. Having finished with the weave, the captain went up the "stairs" taller, looked around. No, where it has already passed, stumps compounds are still not observed. This is a little, very little, but pleased. Ahead already shone bluish cylinder AP. Legion warned Shepard still in the discussion plan of operation that the person in virtsrede will only need to enter this cylinder - the rest is done automatically.
It happened - milky-white glow for a moment enveloped the figure of the captain, and then dissipated ahead lit up the now familiar path-path. A few dozen meters it blocked the next, yet that a single "pipeline". Legion had already warned Shepard that immediately after the release of the first communication node server protection system is activated in emergency mode, and now had to wait for more trouble. Code Reaper, who was present in the server software was not enough here, and quite possibly, the signal itself is the old machine had greater power than ever before and, consequently, great opportunities to counter incursions. Multi-core processors on the server for any of organics and even more so - synthetics was no longer a novelty,
The first kernel to meet the captain approached several different thickness "pipeline." Just chop off all the "guts", the captain was able to break the "armor" of the nucleus, colored prudent geth orange confirming infection. The nucleus was large enough and the path circled it a few times, allowing the captain to make a thorough cleaning of most of the infected sites "armor".
Wink virtual picture-story Shepard treated with all the attention. Before him appeared in the record key moment in the history of the Goths: scientist quarian finally completed work on the mobile platform, equipped with a virtual intelligence and now informed his colleague that would be very not averse to arrange on this occasion a small festive ceremony. At the same time he wanted to give the new platform a different name, which is, of course, it would be an important distinguishing feature.
- How will the Hel "servant of the people"? - Quarian asked, looking at the chair clamped into place g
eta.
- Het, creator Zahak. - Said platform.
- Exactly. Good. - Summed quarian.
On this account, extracted from the exempt code Reaper cluster data, broken kernels glow decreased to a minimum, denoting that the kernel has become inactive. It is possible that now a part of the geth fighters already helplessly drifting at different distances from the ships, farms and turned into harmless fragments.
Shepard pointed out that already in this video quarians were masked. So, even then, when were created the geth, and the captain watched, without a doubt, it is the birth of the Goths, the time preceding the acquisition geth individual consciousness quarians were very relaxed and were no longer able to exist without space suits. Immunity has been eroded almost completely, and the establishment of the Goths, as the mobile platforms have been caused, including the desire weakened quarians take off a significant portion of manual labor for the maintenance of the infrastructure of civilization in working condition.
Legion, of course, knew that few of the other races of organic quarians seen without a mask or even more - without a spacesuit. Shepard thought that het sniper aware of the difficult relationship with the captain Tali and understands - Tali quite been able to show his face to man as a sign of the highest trust and goodwill. The fact that she was able to even do not have to speak to do so, remove the suit - it was understood automatically. Well, he, Shepard, the young are not subjected to this test quarian. Well, that Tali had almost lost interest in him, the man, though, who could have known how much she has grown cold, and whether it has cooled. Soon Shepard would see younger Zora and only answer to these and other important questions. Very soon.
