Video, same encryption (100%)hows_the_kneeMarch 4 2011, 22:12:19 UTC
[When Sarah receives the message, she just sits there for a long moment, staring. She watches the video through twice before finally reaching out with a shaking hand to turn on her own feed, double-checking to make sure of the encryption before she does.
She's not restless like Polito is - instead, she looks into the camera with still, quiet intensity, as if she can hardly believe what she's hearing, and is afraid that if she moves too suddenly, it'll all go away.
She smiles, though, slowly, as she turns the video on.]
Video, encrypted ~forever~ => action!hows_the_kneeMarch 5 2011, 00:30:28 UTC
I'll be there.
[And Sarah disconnects. Somewhat recklessly, she doesn't bother to tell John or the Terminator where she's going - she's still riding the high from Polito's news, and feeling perhaps a bit overconfident. If this works, they'll have a whole zone to themselves - no monitoring from the AI, nothing for the T-X to hack into and watch them from. Finally, they might have a chance.
She arms herself with as many weapons as she can carry and heads out, covering her tracks by teleporting first to the adjacent zone and from there to the coordinates in Zone 7.
Sarah arrives late. Not just a few minutes behind schedule, but hours late. She makes no apology for this, or even mentions it at all - as far as she's aware, it's been just a few minutes since she finished her conversation with Polito on the network. She smiles as she approaches, holding a shotgun up briefly to show the other woman.]
[At the best of times, Shodan is impatient. Her vast intellect races ahead of most humans, and she finds them slow, sluggish, boring.]
[To be forced to wait hours is unacceptable. She amuses herself with the network and then proceeds to start hacking the defenses she can take down from here, but inside she seethes. And when Sarah arrives...?]
You idiot What the hell took you so long? Didn't I say we were on a time limit!?

Good work.
[Understatement of the year.]
Just tell me where to go.
