As Raymond and Marty race through the alleys to not get caught by the catchers, Raymond leads Marty back to his place. They run into Raymond's apartment and slam the door behind them. Raymond yells at Marty, who are you, and what are you doing here because it's obvious?" You don't belong in" east end. Marty is still trying to catch his breath. I know I'm from the west end, but I had to see if it was true, as they say about the east end. Raymond looks confused. What do you mean? Marty looks embarrassed and says" I was told that everyone is savage and hunts people and there is no technology and you guys live in the dark. Raymond says it is typical West propaganda. Now you've seen it, you need to leave. Marty interrupts him and says no, but you don't understand, now that I have seen this with my own eyes, I have to do something. I come from one of the most wealthy families in the west, and they lied to me my whole life. Raymond looks at Marty and kinda feels sorry for him. Raymond says, well that train you were supposed to be on won't be back until 2 tomorrow, so you can stay here for tonight, but only tonight. If you don't return on that train, the whole city is going to be flipped upside down if you say your so important. Marty laughs and says I'm not important, my family is, and he lies on the couch. Raymond shakes his head and plugs the flash drive into his computer. It's just one single link leading to a site that takes you home to another site that needs to be cracked. Asking as he started to decode, he saw this was silver-crest corp Marty! Raymond shouted, what's your last name," Marty replied, sliver-crest, confused. You had better come see this, Raymond says as Marty looks at the screen. Raymond delved deeper into the labyrinthine system. He uncovered a trove of incriminating evidence of embezzlement, manipulation, and exploitation that had long been hidden from the public eye. Shocked and outraged by what he discovered, Raymond knew he had to act swiftly to reveal the corporation's sins to the world.
But time was not on his side. The corporation's AI defenses detected Raymond's presence and launched a relentless counterattack, aiming to erase all traces of his intrusion. In a pulse-pounding race against the clock, Raymond fought back with all his might, his fingers dancing across the keyboard in a symphony of code and defiance.
As Raymond frantically worked to transfer the incriminating data to a secure location, the AI defenses of the "Silvercrest Foundation" launched a devastating counterattack. The AI system, detecting Raymond's presence and the unauthorized access to its network, activated a malicious program designed to destroy any intruding devices.
With a deafening whir, the AI's defensive protocols sprang into action, unleashing a barrage of cyberattacks on Raymond's laptop. A surge of digital energy surged through the network, targeting Raymond's device with a relentless assault of malware, viruses, and destructive commands.
The laptop's screen flickered and glitched as the AI's program penetrated its defenses, corrupting files, scrambling data, and overloading its circuits with a surge of electrical impulses. Smoke began to curl from the vents as the hardware strained against the onslaught, the sound of crackling electricity filling the air.
With each passing moment, Raymond fought against the AI's relentless assault, his fingers flying across the keyboard in a desperate bid to shield the vital data from destruction. But the AI's program was relentless, adapting and evolving to counter Raymond's every move, pushing the laptop to its breaking point.
And then, in a blinding flash of light and a deafening crackle, the laptop's screen went dark. The smell of burnt circuits filled the air as the device sputtered and died, a victim of the Silvercrest Foundation's ruthless defense mechanisms. Raymond's heart sank as he realized the extent of the damage. The evidence he had fought so hard to protect was gone, lost to the digital ether.
But despite the loss of his laptop, Raymond's spirit remained unbroken. With determination burning in his eyes, he vowed to continue the fight against the corrupt forces that sought to silence the truth. The destruction of his device was a setback, but it only fueled his resolve to expose the darkness at the heart of Neo Atlantis and bring about a brighter future for all who called the city home. Raymond, still in shock, turns to Marty and launches at him. Marty screams" I didn't know, I swear I didn't know, but we have to do something. We have to get a new laptop. I have to get back there. Marty says let's go buy a Raymond. Frustrated, I don't have the money and there are not a lot of laptops at that end. There might be one thing you're going to have to do. Name it, Marty says. With no hesitation, Raymond says it's the hacker who gave me the flash drives. The catchers took him, but he might still have a laptop. I'll go to the front door and talk to his mom, and you will have to sneak in and get the laptop. OK, no problem. Marty says I never broke into a house, but it should be easy. Alright, change out of those clothes. You stand out like a bad virus, check my closet and pick up something. The closet was nothing but black hoodies and black pants as Marty puts the clothes on and says you don't have much of a variety. As the two slip back out into the alley and the streets, Marty tells Raymond he truly didn't know and will do whatever he can to help him. Raymond looks at him and says, I believe you man, I just can't get it out of my head that there is using AI to do all the wrong things like human mind control, but what? Humans . I wonder if it's people here. Marty squints his eyes and just as he's about to say something, a truck stops and a bunch of the murders start sprinting towards them running!!! Raymond shouts run!!!
