Chapter 3: Feed
Owen and Claire wait in front of a department building at Stanford University for Adam.
"Do you think he's gonna show up? I've got a bad vibe coming from this guy", Owen asks Claire.
"We don't know that for sure so we'll find out soon enough. There he is". Adam opens the door and directs them up to an abandoned disorganized room that belongs to Henry Wu.
"If you don't mind, I am going to have another colleague who will be joining us via video chat".
"Of course, just be aware that if any of this gets shared to the public. It's all on you", responds a hesitant Adam. Owen clenches his fists a bit, but Claire calms him down, holding his right hand. Claire sets up the guest Wi-Fi and sends a video feed request to Dr. Robert Lewis.
"All ready, Dr. Lewis?", Tim asks. Robert frantically gets himself ready for the video feed when his phone starts vibrating with a cyber-green looking message.
"It's them", Tim comments.
"You shouldn't really be here. Claire contacted me, not you."
"It doesn't matter. Whatever's happening with Wu's affecting my career, so I have the right to know what on earth is going on."
Robert answers the call and sees Claire.
"Dr. Lewis. It's been a long time. Who's with you?"
"This is, um, Tim, Tim Murphy. Hammond's grandson. He's the one who went on the missions with me."
"That's right. I haven't seen you since then Tim. It's good to have both of you. On my side, Owen's here", Claire shows Owen who waves to Robert and TIm, "and we have Adam". Adam waves to the two and is shown to be accessing Dr. Wu's computer. Robert asks, "So, what's happening now, Claire?"
"We are gaining access to Dr. Wu's computer. Hopefully, we can find what we need to track him down". When Adam logs in to the home screen, everyone is intimidated by the icon-filled screen.
Owen asks, "So, where do we start?"
"I'm going to key in a search for files related to InGen", says Adam. But when he does just that, nothing shows up.
"Nothing. I thought I saw him working on InGen files the last time he was here", Adam says to the two in the room and the two on the phone. They all try different searches, but they end up with no luck. Adam closes the search window and rubs his eyes.
Tim then asks, "Wait a minute guys. Maybe we're thinking too direct here. InGen clearly doesn't want to release many documents publicly even if it's on a personal computer. So, maybe Dr. Wu's kept a password-encrypted file of some sort".
"Good Idea, Tim. But, there's a 100 of those files on this screen alone. We'll be here till next morning", says Claire.
"Then, try looking at the icons. See if there's anything peculiar about them. See if there's anything that stands out." Claire holds the phone closer to the computer montior, scanning around all corners of the screen. Tim carefully examines the screen and locks eyes on a file.
"What about that one titled "object" and with an icon resembling a white rabbit?"
Adam clicks on the file and a black screen pops up with white letters reading:
ACCESS JW MAINFRAME
Latest User Activity: JUNE 7, 2015, USER: PASSWORD REQUIRED FOR VIEWING
PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD
"Nice job Tim! We now know that Wu's still active", Claire tells Tim over the phone. Robert gives Tim a pat on the back and asks Claire, "So, any ideas for a password?" Nobody responds. Adam tries the passwords to the computer, but it became obvious that Dr. Wu would have thought about that beforehand.
"The guy could have given a hint at least", Owen remarks.
Then, Robert speaks over the video feed, "I think I'm remembering something. White rabbit object was a kind of computer virus that was planted in the original park's network. I read up on the workers trying to break the code were receiving a message stating something about not saying the magic word".
"I was probably way too young to have noticed that when my sister was trying to save us back then", Tim comments.
Claire mutters to herself, "Magic word, magic word? What could it be?"
"Try 'please', then", Owen suggests. Adam types that very word in and they are successfully granted access to a new computer screen, with fewer icons.
Claire comments, "That's his computer on the island. He probably linked this up years ago without even telling us because we're not supposed to access this content on the mainland". Adam opens up the File Explorer and finds files that are relatively recent.
"Anything interesting?" Tim asks. Adam addresses the four of them, "These files all take place after he went MIA".
Claire tells him, "We better get a copy. I brought a flash drive just in case". She plugs it into the desktop and Adam tries to drop them into the new folder. However, an error message pops up:
UNAUTHORIZED FILE TRANSFER: PLEASE CONSULT WITH LAST USER
Tim asks, "So, who was that last user?"
"Let me check", says Adam. He looks into the recent history of the computer screen and reads, "The last person on here was, a woman named Sandra Wardred".
Robert over the video feed, wonders, "Sandra Wardred? I've never heard of that name? Unless.."
Right then, the power in the room goes off and the door to the office slams wide open. Two men and a woman in uniform enter the room.
Tim asks, "What's happening over there?"
"Hands up! Step away from the computer!" Claire cuts off the video feed and turns off her phone.
"What's going on officer?" Claire asks.
"We received a complaint for a breach of security on this computer. Does this computer belong to one of you?"
Adam speaks up, "No, but I am authorized to use this computer in case of emergency".
"And what kind of emergency is that? We were told that only InGen personnel are allowed to access this computer. Are any of you InGen?" asks the female officer.
"Kind of? Not exactly. And we can't tell you what we're doing because we can't let it go public".
"We'll be the judge of that. You three are coming with us. Everybody out!", shouts one of the other officers.
