ANNEX INDUSTRIES LABS

DRoneS record a hi-tech breach at ANNEX LABS. Sector 1074...

8:34PM....

AMANDA: ALERT! ALERT!! ALERT!!!, unidentified intruder approaching...

A hooded man walks towards the research center which reads; "Research Area Closed, Out of bounds!!! "
He proceeds to look left then right, before slipping a card out of his pockets and swiped it against the locked door, as it gave way. A voice over was received from "Amanda" (Artificial Intelligence-based Metadata Annotation and Data Analysis)

AMANDA:  ACCESS GRANTED...WELCOME, DR HIGGINS.

The AI proceeded to ask the hooded figure, what he wished to do in the facility, as all the computers lit up at once.

"Provide data for the location of Project 17 in file 17895432." A deep voice comes from under the hood.

AMANDA: Sorry, Dr Higgins I have been programmed to highly encrypt this data, as it is still ongoing. Using it prematurely, will result in massive damaging side effects and repercussions might be unrecoverable.

The voice still insists, "Get me through anyways, I'm very much a part of the research team on Project 17, therefore I have access to the encrypted data." The voice says, beginning to sound nervous and anxious.

AMANDA: Dr Higgins, I'm afraid I have been given strict orders not to disclose-

"BY WHOM!" The voice continues, beginning to rise.

AMANDA: Dr Arnold Jenkins, sir.

"That son-of-a-bitch!" The voice yells sounding even more frustrated. Then the figure looks from left to right, regains he's composure and continues, "I've been sent by Dr Arnold,  which means I've access to the files."

AMANDA: PLACING CALL TO DR. JENKINS...

"Cancel that!" The voice yells once again.

AMANDA: But why, Doctor? It is my duty to take permission from Dr Jenkins myself.

"You know what? I'm going in via password!"

AMANDA: Induced entry can result in security breach. In order to avoid that, I will engage the security cyberguards!

"Do as you wish! But I'm going in." The man proceeds to the main computer system and slips a data key from his pocket into one of the ports.

AMANDA: YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE DOCTOR HIGGINS!

At that moment, red security alarms begin to blur loudly, as Cyberguards flood into the research facility and raise their blasters at the hooded man bent over the computer.
