"That is the most insane thing I've ever heard in my life. Borgina is virtual. How can she cause such damage?" Nathan could not believe the bits and pieces of information coming together in his head.
"How did she control the Oxygen levels inside your apartment the other day? Everything is controlled on MoonEx. She probably has a backdoor to the network. I know this because I had to disconnect my system from it. I couldn't let her continue messing with me like that."
Nathan looked at the severed leg resting against the wall and back to Nurse Reese. He wanted to disagree with her. There could have been a system malfunction or something. These things happen all the time. But why couldn't he disagree? He remembered asking Borgina about the code the soldiers always repeated. She claimed not to know what the coordinates meant. He remembered her angry outbursts. Certain things just happened at the time she got angry like the Rover collision outside his apartment.
His mind went away from Borgina and back to Colonel Ford. He couldn't forgive himself for not figuring things out soon enough. Now he had helped build missile navigation systems to overthrow his government. How many civilians will be caught in the crossfire? What if Brooke got hurt by one of the missiles?
"How stupid was I? Heck, we were all stupid." He thought.
