A transcribed telephone conversation between Ms. M. Lemay and Dr. A. Gramática.
M. LEMAY
Álvaro?
A. GRAMÁTICA
Melanie, what's happening?
M. LEMAY
Just an update on where we're at. We've been seeing periodic attempts by outside sources to access our storage servers, but we've been able to shut them down almost totally.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Shut them down, what does that mean exactly?
M. LEMAY
Prevent them from gaining access to our offline servers. And those that do get through, we flush them as quickly as possible.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Hm. Those are decoys, Ms. Lemay.
M. LEMAY
Decoys?
A. GRAMÁTICA
The group we're dealing with is too talented and persistent to be stopped by basic security sweeps. The attacks you're seeing are just decoys to take your eyes off the actual intruders.
M. LEMAY
Okay. Do you know something we don't?
A. GRAMÁTICA
I know a lot of things your team does not.
M. LEMAy
So what do you suggest?
A. GRAMÁTICA
We have a proprietary detection system that can find and flush rogue divers. It will take a few days to implement, but when we do, you'll have the tools you need to keep your data safe. ... provided you have the mettle to use it properly.
M. LEMAY
Of course I do. This is our research. Our data. I won't let anyone compromise it.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Even if it means fighting dirty?
M. LEMAY
I'm not sure I understand what that means. But I am committed.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Melanie. The rogues infiltrating Helix are using it to sequence genetic memories just as we are. Capturing and extracting them from Helix will almost certainly cause irreparable hippocampal shock, or sudden death in some cases. Are you comfortable with the idea of killing potential intruders? (Long pause.) Miss Lemay?
M. LEMAY
I'm here, sorry. (Pause) I'll do what it takes, Doctor. This is top secret material. We can't risk it falling into the hands of terrorists.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Precisely. I'm glad to hear you take your job and international security so seriously. Would you object to us sending over one of our technicians to handle the logistics?
M. LEMAY
Absolutely not.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Good. We'll be in touch.
M. LEMAY
Of course. Any time.
