From Science, With Love
Honestly, Dustin hadn’t really thought of doing something like this until Danny forced him to prod at areas he shouldn’t be prodding at. Of course now that he had, it was possibly the best idea he’d thought of so far for solving The Major Issue.
Yes, capital letters. It is that important. It is important enough, in fact, that Dustin was risking another potentially dangerous encounter with the Command Crew and some self-righteous ghost child to achieve his ends-not to mention, a second crack at Stacy’s programming.
That would be the reason for why the scruffy man, a crazed look on his face and cellphone in hand, was running at top speed towards Neuropathy before he met opposition.
A quick check to his Omnicom told him that he was too late; Shitface and this Kennedy fellow were already on his tail. Frankly, those two were the least of his worries. Unless they were able to squeeze through the vents (or they were already in the area when the notice went out), Dustin had a healthy head-start on his target and should be able to get inside the Engineering Core without opposition.
So far that theory had gone according to plan. Dustin could see the door now, open and beckoning him inside; he could almost hear the AI whisper quaintly in his ear, ’I look forward to having you hack into my mainframe and temporarily shut down my internal physical defenses, it would be my pleasure to make this task as easy as possible for you…’
The haggard genius picked up his pace, a crazy glint in his emerald eyes. “See, Dustin?” he panted to himself just as he was about to cross the threshold, “That wasn’t so hard, was it?-“
((ooc: Mainly for Dustin and Danny, but I already know Security is going to pop in here, and onlookers are always welcome~ One main thread would be nice, though.))
