I still don't own Code Lyoko, nor do I own the computer this is typed on.
Sorry for the delay, Thank You for being Pacient here is your reward

To Be, Or Not To Be
"Aelita are you okay?" Jeremie cried as he ran to his fallen wife. "Aelita speak to me!"
"I'm here Jeremie." she said as she opened her eyes "I'm okay Jeremie. I just got dizzy all of a sudden."
"Are you sure?" Jeremie asked worried, "I'll cancel the meeting for today."
"I'm fine. Don't cancel the meeting." Aelita said as she got up, still holding her head. "I just got a little dizzy. I'll stay here and rest, while you go to the meeting."
"Okay, if you're sure you're alright." Jeremie said, relieved that his wife was standing up by herself. "I'll check in every hour."
"I'm okay; it was just a dizzy spell." Aelita said collecting her thoughts.
Back in the factory in France…The dark quiet room was now filled with a gentle hum and a golden glow.
"What is that thing?" Mike asked stepping back.
"I don't know, but it seems bad." Koji said nervously.
"It's some kind of computer." stated Angela.
"This big it has to be a super computer." Crissy said.
"It's a quantum computer." Jessica stated.
"A what?" Mike asked.
"A quantum computer," Angela stated, "but they're only theoretical, years away."
"This thing must be thirty years old." Crissy added.
"Jessica is right." Joseph said, "It is a quantum computer."
"How do you know?" Koji asked.
"It says so in this manual. This computer generates a virtual world that it refers to as Lyoko." Joseph said as he thumbed through some pages in the manual.
"A virtual world? Lyoko?" Angela said, "That sounds like mom and dad's game."
"Could they know of this place?" Crissy asked.
"It's a common premise for a game." Koji stated, "But who wrote that manual?"
"I don't know. The name was scratched out and Einstein was scribbled in." Joseph said.
"Well someone was a jokester." Jessica stated, "Now tell us more about this 'Lyoko'."
"It's a virtual world and" Joseph continued looking through the manual, "those tubes on the second floor somehow transfer a human into Lyoko. It gets a little technical about how it transfers them so I won't go into it. But it does give me the procedures to send someone. I could do it I think."
All the others looked shocked. "Did you just say you could send someone to this 'Lyoko'?" Koji asked in an adventurous tone.
"Yeah, I think …" Joseph stopped as he realized what they meant. "NO! NO NO NO NO NO!
"Come on." Mike begged, "It sounds like a game. It'll be fun."
"NO!" Joseph responded, "Turning a computer on is one thing. PUTTING YOU INSIDE IT IS ANOTHER!"
"Can you do it Angela?" Mike asked.
"Maybe, if I see the procedures." Angela answers, reaching for the manual, "Give me that Joseph."
"What? Wait!" Joseph yelled as Angela took it.
"Let me see." Angela said, as she looked through the procedures, "I don't know, I wouldn't want to do it alone."
"But you could do it?" Crissy asks eager for adventure.
"Wait, you are all going too fast." Jessica interrupted, being the voice of reason, "We don't know anything about this Lyoko. It could be dangerous. We need to know more about it before we get tossed in."
"Yes! Someone else sees the logic." Joseph says.
"We can't go until we know it's safe." Jessica stated, "Is there a diagnostic section in there so we can make sure everything is still working fine?"
"What? You're still going?" Joseph asked the so-called voice of reason.
"Yes, there is. If we go up to the lab I can check it out." Angela answered Jessica.
"Yes, I still want to go. Good let's go up." Jessica responded to them as they all got in the elevator.
Joseph stood still in shock. "But we don't know if it's safe."
"That's why we are checking the computers." Jessica said, "Come on."
"Oh alright." Joseph reluctantly said, agreeing with the group, "But we make absolutely sure that it's safe."
"I completely agree with that." Jessica said as the elevator went up to the first basement level.
"I'm getting tired of this." Angela said as she reached for the wire.
"Then don't." Joseph said taking the wire from her. "Let me see that." He put the wire back in its original slot, closed the case up, and pushed a few buttons. The door then opened. "The code was in the manual." He stated.
The group made its way to the computer terminal. Joseph sat down in the chair and Angela stood by his right shoulder. He pressed a few buttons and it came alive, displaying its startup screens. A minute passed and it was connected. 'SYSTEM READY' displayed on the screen.
"Okay, let's try a few commands." Joseph says, as he looks through the manual.
"How about this one?" Angela says, also looking at the manual. " 'STATUS OF LYOKO' sounds good."
"Okay then." Joseph says, as he types in the command.
'LYOKO FULLY FUNCTIONAL' is displayed on the screen.
"Good. Now the scanners." Joseph typed another command, 'STATUS OF SCANNERS'.
'SCANNER 1-FULLY FUNCTIONAL. SCANNER 2-FULLY FUNCTIONAL. SCANNER 3-FULLY FUNCTIONAL.' The screen said.
"It all looks good." Angela stated.
"The hardware is, but what about the software?" Joseph inquired, as he typed some more. "Let me try this, 'STATUS OF VIRTUALIZATION PROGRAMS'."
'VIRTUALIZATION PROGRAMS FULLY FUNCTIONAL' 'DEVIRTUALIZATION PROGRAMS FUNCTIONAL' 'AWAITING COMMANDS' then popped up on the screen.
"It's all good. Now which ONE of you is going?" Joseph asked.
"I go." Jessica responded. "I have recon experience. You two get familiar with those commands. I have to get some equipment."
"Okay?" Angela and Joseph said together puzzled.
"What do you mean recon experience?" Koji asked.
"My father has had military contracts dealing with reconnaissance and exploration since I was five." Jessica explained, "You pick up a few things being around military guys for years." She proceeded to the elevator. "I'll be back in a few minutes."
Ten minutes passed. Angela and Joseph were studying the manual when the doors opened. "Are you two good with the commands now?" Jessica asked, as she walked over to them. She was dressed all in black carrying a black bag.
"Yes." Joseph and Angela said. "Just go down a level and step into a scanner."
"Okay let me get ready." Jessica said, as she sat the bag down and opened it. She pulled out a tactical knife and strapped it to her right ankle. She pulled out a gun. Then took out the clip, checked it, reinserted it, and cocked the gun. "Don't worry, they're rubber bullets. All the stopping power of metal without the nasty side effect of death."
"You had that at school?" Crissy asked worriedly.
"No. The school wouldn't let me keep a Glock 9mm there. Go figure." Jessica said, "Don't worry where it came from." She continued to check over the gun and then put it in its holster. "Okay then, I'm ready."
One level down Jessica stepped into a scanner and said, "Good to go."
"Auto profile creation started for Jessica." Angela called over the COM system.
"Transfer Jessica." Joseph said, "Scanner Jessica. Virtualization."
In Lyoko, a wire frame started to form.
There you go, not as bad of a cliffy. Does anybody know what the door code is?
