Is Helix safe now?
Yes. The secondary servers have been modified and the primary servers are off line.
So why are we breaking in here?
Anti-recovery. We're going to make it difficult for Ecosystems Unlimited to modify their neural pruning program.
Anti-recovery. Anti-recovery. I like it. What a pleasant way of saying “Let's kick 'em while they're down.”

It's 11:45. We'll have about ten minutes while the guards change shift and the new guard gets coffee and settles in.
Walk normally. Act like you belong here. Sneaking attracts attention. And most important…
Stop eating my ice cream! You weren't chased by a horde of bloodthirsty merchants screaming for your credit card number! You don't get any ice cream!

You handed the ice cream to me. It's mine now. There are no take backs on food.
You were holding it for me! I didn't give it to you!
Look. It's covered with wolf spit. Do you really want ice cream covered in wolf spit?
Sigh. Scavenger. I really should know better by now.

I believe I found out about the neural pruning program the last time I was here.
You had a bunch of sticky notes when we found you in that building.
I'm glad you remembered that.
My pants were full of crickets.
I hope that's a mnemonic.
When your pants are full of crickets, you don't need mnemonics.

RAID – redundant array of inexpensive disks. In a nutshell, it is a way of storing data that provides varying degrees of fault tolerance and performance.
I like Research and Information Department from Harry Potter better :) (Charliez)

Good evening, Doc Nickel, Doctor Zarkov, Doctor Quest, Doctor Strange, Doctor Manhattan, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Sivana, Doctor Tenma, Doctor Solar.
Mismatch. Number of bodies do not match number of badges. System is being deceived.
[!1.1]INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!
How many badges did you take?
The same number I always take when something is free. All of them.

Listed are the names of PhDs from various comics and manga. I leave it to the readers to find their files on them on their own. (KALDYH)

INTRUDER ALERT!
If there is a place you want to go in this building, I suggest we run.
Look for a workshop. Someplace where there's computer access.
AUTOMATIC DEFENSES! ACTIVATED!
Does it have to have computers? Right now, I'm thinking anyplace out of the line of fire would be good.

Looks like the computer did get the permission to open fire that was requested in the Freefall 1619 strip (KALDYH)

My scent! It's on this sticky note.
Great! Wonderful! Keep running!
Door jamb. I went in here.
NON LETHAL FORCE! PENDING!
Go in! Go in!
Non lethal. That doesn't sound… too bad.
Non lethal to humans. I have no desire to see if I can live through what they can live through.

Mark is already making fun of the bureaucracy of the digital age. To complete the worldview picture, you can also read the current ItHappens and Hooking up. (Robot Spike)

We came all this way so you could install a power strip?
This is a descendant of the Power Pwn. It's a testing tool. Back home, the red team would use these to try to penetrate our network.
It contains software tools and a wireless interface. It will get around the physical isolation this place uses as their second line of security.
Their first line of security seems to be a thick protective layer of dirt. Don't they ever clean under here?

Recall that the Ecosystems Unlimited complex is isolated from the comnet. (KALDYH)

Done. It's not the usual way these are used, but the computer that runs the compound can now access Commnet.
Once it sees there are new revisions and software patches, it will download…
You were playing with the computer so I decided to loot. What? Proper division of labor is the mark of a great leader.
