<span class="mu-s">Alright</span>, Agents, lift is here and we're still patched through to the central command system. They've flung a -- let me check -- that's a BARGHEST RID system -- at us.
White Moon must have control over the central hospital facilities and their core computing, along with all their electronic infrastructure. They're probably not as good as we are in straight cyberops, but remember all those times you sat a console and felt good because the ease of use and all the tools you have access to make working easier? Yeah, they have that - setup probably. A BARGHEST suite is a specialized reactive instrusion defensive tool, it's going to prowl down unauthorized access and clamp down on it.
Compromise it out of existence and it won't be a problem until they spin up another one.
Good work, though, Octant, you filtered out most of those bad packages - and Monarch, I've got a trace to their central eghost operations. They probably have other suites and have brought in terminals of their own too, but this is one of them. By the signatures they're spliced into the hospital infrastructure very effectively - if we burn them out, they're probably going to restore functionality relatively quick. Consoles are fairly hardened.
Luckily, we're no completely without recourse here, of course. Compromising them and breaching their consoles and systems gets us access to the infrastructure they've subborned and keeps them from using it.
Unlike direct visual intrusion using short-range firewall bypasses from the headsets you're more used to, you often operate through LINKS when engaging with stuff like this - for instance right now we have control over the lift systems and they're LINKED to the infrastructure which lets us trace it down to find the E-Ghost and his little ops room. Because he's also linked to the lift systems.
It's like how every agent is linked to the tacnet, right? So someone could try to breach in to Mammoth through access to Dragon. It's not more complicated than that. Except for one slight wrinke, which is that links and system somtimes have safeguards and reactive intrusion defenses - he's coming at us from behind a proxy, if you want a terminology, so hammering him directly is impossible because he's really working through the console and we don't have a direct bead to his systems before we compromise that.
Well, once we get off of this roof we'll re-mask our signatures and move on, so it shouldn't be too much trouble.
Let's keep it moving people!
