***** Not To: MONICA, Leon Meyers
+++++ This is an automated posting
+++++ MatrixListeningDevice #24452
+++++ Location: Central Core, Automated Infoworks

+++++ The image is of two guards leading CLU out of the room. MONICA is
standing there with an angry expression.

+++++ There is a flash of light an the image of a human male appears.

MONICA: What do you want, Meyers?
Meyers: You've been trying to crack that program's code for four days
now, don't you think it's time to give up?

+++++ MONICA turns and glares at Leon.

Mey: Well, perhaps not. But I do not understand your interest in this
program.
MON: Ramirez has always been one of my greatest and most cunning
enemies. Each time, my defeat was caused at least in part by him
and this program represents his greatest programming achievement.
If I can crack it, I can gain insight to his techniques and limit
his abilities.
Mey: But still, I need you for other duties in the system.
MON: Don't bother me with your piddly user requests. I must crack
this program! In addition to the insight into Ramirez, it will
also provide the missing link I need to get my self-adaptive ICe
online. The prototype I have working needs the infusion of this
code to become fully capable.
Mey: I think your new ICe is fine the way it is.
MON: Fool! The ICe may be able to adapt and even reason to some
extent, but it doesn't have enough of the human element in it.
Ramirez can't help but to have put that into this construct. I
just need to find it.
Mey: I hope you can crack it quickly. The information that Ramirez
and Wolf 359 smuggled out to our investors is very damaging and
already I am being called on to answer for that information. In
addition, I have heard rumors of an ITC investigation.
MON: It is not my worry. YOU deal with your foolish meat-world problems.
Mey: Might I remind you, if our plug gets pulled, so does yours.
MON: Then make sure that doesn't happen.
