PROLOGUE: Vengeful Prophecy

NATIONAL MAXIMUM SECURITY PENITENTIARY
(Location Unknown, 6 months later...)

Only the most notorious criminals of the entire nation are sent and locked up in this country's most heavily-guarded, heavily-secured prison. Activists and individuals branded as dangerous radicals were some of the people who are inmates in this particular prison, as well as heavily ambitious professionals from scientists to government agents. At this point of time, highly-ranked warden officers had just sent in an emergency message towards the government intelligence bureau of the most shocking news ever in the history of the penitentiary...

NOTORIOUS COMPUTER SCIENTIST ESCAPED!
Extreme caution! Highly ARMED and DANGEROUS! Unknown Location, 4 hours ago - One of the nation's most dangerous fugitives, only known to the intelligence bureau records as "Winter Angel," was able to escape the nation's most highly-secured maximum security prison. How Winter Angel escaped was still under investigation, however there had been some suspicions that Winter Angel was able to gain access to the maximum security's central computer system. The penitentiary's IT Department had concluded that there was some kind of malfunction within the central system that helped this highly-ambitious yet dangerous computer scientist escape the nation's most highly-sophisticated security system. A major notification to all local and national law enforcement forces--- be on the look out for this fugitive. Winter Angel has been described as female Caucasian, late 30s to early 40s, about 5'9", and has been reported to have green eyes. Most likely places that Winter Angel may be spotted are computers and electronic stores. The intelligence bureau advises all law enforcements to be alert.

Ever since this notification has been released, this notorious computer-hacking fugitive codenamed "Winter Angel" had been at large and even until two years later, all law enforcements were still unsuccessful in locating this escape fugitive.

UNDERGROUND COMPUTER LABORATORY
(Location Unknown, approximately a year later...)

It was no surprise that the computer-hacking fugitive Winter Angel would eventually create her very own underground computer lab as her hideout from the law. Though she was very close to being released on parole for a few months then, the news she received completely disturbed her. She knew right then that it was finally the time for the government to pay for this horrible tragic news, and the only way for her to finally accomplish her objectives was to continue the genius work that her predecessor had started. She remembered how she and her very close colleague should have started this ultimate project that would completely disrupt and destroy the government-sponsored secret project that she and her colleague used to work on.

Enough was enough, she thought to herself. She had waited over ten years until the government would finally grant her parole to find her family. Perhaps she had waited too long for that time to arrive. She had served her years and had been on her best behavior until that horrid news came to her. The government will surely pay, she thought to herself. The government had destroyed my life and had disconnected me from the ones I love...

Winter Angel's program finally completed. Using her old notes and video recordings that her predecessor had produced that she retrieved from a locker at a designated bus station, she was able to reprogram the ultimate weapon that would truly accomplish their mission. Only this time, she added some modifications that would enhance the program's perfection ten-fold.

At long last, she said to herself as she was finally finished with the reprogramming. All shall finally be done. Project Carthage will finally be no more...

Winter Angel headed down the third level basement of her computer lab, where the very sophisticatedly-built core system is located. She found an easy-looking switch and turned it on. The lights of this intricate circuit work flashed on brightly and with full power. She knew to herself that she had finally succeeded.

"And now... it's time for XANA's rebirth. This is for you, Dr. Schaeffer."
