Charon was more annoyed than surprised, her lip curled into a sneer, a look that certainly didn't look pretty on her face.

"Deadlock match, fine. I'll be bringing my favourite tin opener though and after I win, I got a car crusher waiting to be tested you big tin pepper pot!"

The screen went entirely static as the video link was lost. As soon as the transmission was lost Charon turned and looked at the mess in the mansion and screamed at the top of her lungs. Augustus came tearing around the corner. Charon handed him a small disc.

"You'll find all the security codes for everything in the entire mansion on this disc, you'll find the drive for it in the cellar in the timelocked safe. You should be able to access every database within the Technocracy HQ. I want you to scour this whole place for bugs, virus', tracking programs - EVERYTHING! And anything else you might consider relevant. Do it now."

Augustus looked at the disc for a moment.

"I thought the Technocracy was obselete, dead, under new ownership?"

Charon grinned.

"Yeah, its under new ownership - MINE. It was Damiens brainchild but since he's not around any more, its mine. Get going."

Augustus raised his eyebrows and shot off in the direction of the cellar and Charon looked at the debris again.

"Eva corp will pay dearly for this intrusion if its the last thing I do."
