Chapter 3
When we entered Renraku's mainframe we saw a VERY large castle. Behind us was a concrete wall about 5 meters thick and at least 20 meters high with over 20 guards around it. This is why we never tried Renraku.
"Well here we are kiddos." Said Will
"I assume you know were to go to get to the accounting computer." I asked
"Of course."
"Then lead on master." Dennis said
Once inside the castle (Renraku's computer) we began to travel to the CPU or in the case of Will's scenery, the throne room. From there we would be able to gain access to the accounting computer. Will began to lead us around the castle avoiding the guards when we could or destroying them when they came by.
"Ok Will, we've been here for an hour. I don't think you know were you are going." I said
"Well guys I hate to break this to you but,"
"WE'RE LOST!" Dennis screamed
"Well to put it one way, yes" Will said
"I can't fraggin' believe this drek. First you drag us into Renraku's mainframe though some back door you found. Then you get us LOST in Renraku's FRAGGIN' MAINFRAME! I should kill you were you stand."
Dennis kept ranting like that for about 2 mins. After Floyd slapped Dennis upside the head and said "Shut the frag up or I'll knock your persona right out of the fraggin' matrix" he shut up. I do like that quote. I'll have to use it at a later time.
"Look guy's I'm really sorry but you know how I suck at navigating a computer." Will said
"Fine I'll take lead and lead us to the CPU." I said
"Maybe we should jack out and frag the run." Dennis said
"Look we maid it this far. This is a lot farther then most other deckers could even dream of. We make it to the CPU and then to the accounting computer and we will be fraggin' RICH. So shut your fraggin' mouth and get moving." Dennis screamed
"Look Dennis, we need you. You're the only one of us who can protect us in the very unlikely chance that an ice isn't killed by blackbane. You've got the best defensive and cloaking programs of us all. Look I won't force you to come with us. If you choice you can jack out and we'll finish the run with out you." Will said
"OK OK I'll do the damn run."
"Good now I think I know how to get to the CPU from here" I said
"How" Floyd asked
"Well most big companies put their CPU behind many ices and in the middle of the computer. We haven't been seeing many ice have we. No we haven't. When we first came in we went north. There were a few ice in that direction. When we went west we didn't hit any ice correct?"
"Yeah so?" Floyd said
"That means that the CPU is Northeast of here. Now if we go up this corridor and head right we should be on the right track. Then all we have to do is follow the ice to the CPU." I explained
"Ok we got a battle plan. So let's go." Said Will
We began to travel towards the CPU. After a little while we started seeing guards (barrier ice). Those were dispatched easily with BlackBane. After a while three hunters (trace&burn ice) caught us off guard. It was a good thing that Dennis decided t stay with us or we would have been in some serious drek. The three hunters went off in three different directions. They were too far for Will to use BlackBane. Floyd and I were able to take out two of the three. The third was to far away for us to get it. Dennis used a program he called Snowstorm. It created dozens of copies of the trace&burn program and us. This caused the trace&burn program to overload and shut it self-down.
When we reached the hallway leading to the throne room is when the drek hit the fan. First was a REAL nasty black ice on the floor of the hallway. It was put there so anyone passing over it would activate it. It hit Floyd hard before Will destroyed it. After it was destroyed a tar pit program activated and held us all in place while a trace&burn program was sent. Dennis took care of the tar pit program and then Floyd destroyed the trace&burn program.
After all of that we reached the throne room. In the throne room was two thrones, a king, a jester, and a door, (which lead to the accounting computer). The jester turned and looked at us. It then started scanning us.
"You are good to make it this far. Now I'll be nice and give you the option of jacking out now before I am forced to kill you." The Jester said
"Slot off frag-face. We came here for a reason and no stupid clown is going to stop us." Dennis said
"Pity. You could have left here with your lives. Well since you are stupid enough to stay, you can be the test subjects for our new black ice. I've analyzed all of your personas and programs. That attack program you have is intreging. Maybe we'll copy it after you are dead. Well I must leave. But before I do let me introduce you to Black Wall."
After the Jester finished talking the king stood up. The jester then vanished and the throne room turned in to a big black box. The king looked at us as a loud voice came out of thin air.
"Now I am a nice guy so I'll explain Black Wall and give you a small chance of survival. The black box you are in will prevent you from jacking out. If you do, your brain will be fried. The box will begin to close in on it's self as soon as I am done talking. You'll have 1 minute before it crushes you thus killing you. The king in front of you is a black ice. It will begin to attack you. If you are smart you will let the king kill you painlessly. Or you can kill the king and try to get out of the box. Which you can't do. Well I have said enough. Have fun kiddies."
As the voice silenced a large clock appeared on the wall and began to count down from a minute. The king started to move towards us.
At this point I realized we were seriously fraged.
