4.02: I have finally found a place to live, in the presence of the Word.
System Clapton is a communications hub, picking up and rebroadcasting signals from all over the 'Net. The city's layout is spherical, with layers built up around the system's power source rather than merely above it. From the outside, it appears to be a metallic orb bristling with radar dishes; closer inspection will reveal various maintenance rigs and concealed elevators leading to the city beneath the surface.
One of those elevators has just stopped at the lowest level of the system, right next to the Core. Inside is a young female Guardian, clutching what appears to be a glowing green egg. She looks around warily--good, no sign of any guards yet. They're still too busy with the damaged port control to pay attention to what's going on below.
It's not the system security she needs to worry about, though. It's the two sprites coming down on the next elevator over.
