Chapter 6

"Is there anyway to get the power back?" Harper asked.

"Yeah, there is backup power in here somewhere. But it will take a long time to find it and I don't know exactly how to work it, im not an engineer."

"Well, that's where I come in! I am the best engineer and super genius this bitch of a universe has ever come across."

Anya smiled. "I see."

"yeah, first of all, does Aria have a transmitter?"

"Of course."

"Then right after we get secondary power, we're going to have to find that transmitter, get a message to Dylan."

"Why? What can he do?"

"Well…he…"

Anya just looked at him.

"Can't he pull my jack out of the computer?"

"It…it might work." Anya said looking down.

Harper thought for a minute. "But then there's no way to get you out."

"I'm doomed anyway. You will bring me to Beyaro and he will make the rest of my life hell, if he doesn't choose to execute me."

"No, I wont do that. We're both getting out of here so we better find that secondary power."

Anya smiled. "I think I know where it is."

After a half hour searching, "There! That's it!"

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure!"

"Ok, lets see if I can start this up." Harper looked at the power reserves. "what the hell is this?" it looked like a giant bubble with electrical currants running through it.

"Oh, it's a new generator. Dr. Madison designed it."

Harper examined it. "I have no idea how to get this stuff out. There's no plug, no hole for tools, nothing! Just a stupid bubble!" He said kicking it. The bubble started to quiver.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing! What did I do?" Harper asked. Before they could figure it out, the top of the bubble ruptured, sending electricity though the cables on the top. The Matrix lit up a bit.

"You did it! You got the power reserves. Now, why do we need the transmitter?"

"We don't. We need to find the source of the virus and cut it off."

Anya smiled. "Let's go!"

"Wait wait wait!" Harper said.

"Why?"

"Cuz, we don't know where the virus is!"

"Well, ok lets think… the virus attacked Aria first so most likely it would be at the AI central processor."

"That's this way." Anya said, walking around a corner.

"That's where…whoa…." Anya cut herself off. The processor was covered in what looked like a lot of dark goo.

"What the hell…"
