Mission MONICA Recon

MONICA has completely taken over Yoshida Tech. I didn't even have to
enter it. The Yoshida Icon is covered in what looks like black goo.
There are feelers of this goo reaching out to other systems nearby,
Adler Plastics is one of them. I've been in Adler before,it's a small
system. I'll try my Core Wars experiment there.

MONICA has little control over Adler so far. I found traces of her
virus in the outer level SPUs, but not the CPU yet. I have the game
running locally and have taken 75% of core memory.

MONICA knows I'm here. I have 90% of the core in control and she's
having trouble getting in. The system is small, 2SPUs a CPU a datastore
and a Slave node, so I was able to slow it down with just myself
playing. She knows what I'm doing and has begun to play the game
against me. I'm playing for control of the whole system.

She's good. I'm down to 60%, she's captured 30% and 10% still belongs
to Adler. She's learning at an exponential rate. In another few
minutes she'll have control.

I'm losing this game, I'm jacking out now.

On my way out. One of MONICAs tendrils in the way. Attack program took
care of it. In SAN now, another tendril engaging...
Red hat showed! Can't get out of the way I'm ...................
