"Good. Wouldn't be good guests if they didn't." [b][i]Within the Terminal:[/i][/b] [b]The AI known as Mother was suitably impressed. The barbaric organics actually had somewhat un-embarrassingly good firewalls. They were even made in trinary!! Oh, a challenge for most this would be, bo doubt. That is, if Mother wasn't quintinary-coded. Her near-omnipotence in cyberspace was unrivaled by all. A simple flaw in the coding saw the firewalls bypassed altogether, leaving the heart of the system bared to her. A savage twist saw the coding bent to her cybernetic will, the controls to the main gate were activated, the mammoth barriers slowly receding. Another line of code sent into the system was processed as she leapt back into the crystal-latticework of Shadow's suit.[/b] [u]Done.

She almost breaks down into full-blown giggles as she listens to Mother's message.* "Oh boy... This should be fun."
