>>>>[Well, THAT didn't take too long...I got a little ways into Yoshida, but
had to jack out almost immediatley after leaving the first SPU. I'm fast,
but I don't have a powerful enough sleaze. I tried blasting some of the
beasties, with moderate success--at first. Then it seemed as if the ICE was
adapting itself, and finding out the best ways to resist my code. As soon as
I saw that, I jacked out. I can't imagine how he got as far as he did. Right
now it looks as if a defensive position is the only one we deckers can assume:
we can't fight this thing. I'm not sure even RUFUS could anymore: she's grown
more powerful. Unless you can start performing the same task? Hm...If both
RUFUS and MONICA were designed by Yoshida, wouldn't they have similar
capabilities? Couldn't RUFUS start assuming control of nodes, much like
MONICA is doing, and Dark Elf tried to do with his game? (And would the
situation improve any?)
CEROK: I don't know what you are now, you Borg-clone, but if I ever find
you, I'll find out. I'll start a new medical practice: matrix
neurosurgery. I'll peel away your codes until I get to Splut, if he's still
in there, or you're crashed.]<<<<
