Tangle in the Dark - Kassidor

with her disappearance?From what he could see in the logs, it looked like Thomand Darryl were at a total loss. They had poked around withthe auxiliary veron store a bit after she disappeared, but hadnot done any re-mapping or re-routing at either the sensorylevel or the universe mapping level either before or after. Alltheir actions were consistent with someone who didn’t knowwhat they were doing, trying to get some information out ofthat veron store.Even with the controls re-mapped, he couldn’t get a lot ofinfo out of it either. From what little he could see, it appearedthat the first step of her time-slice invocation in this store wasyet another hardware indirection, this time via Thom’scondensate chamber. Trying to chase it beyond there wasfutile, it required knowledge of theoretical physics that he justdidn’t have. If he was to guess, he figured that she would gointo a hang on every time slice because there was so muchsecurity preventing any signals from coming back thruThom’s instruments to anything, including that veron store.That would mean that her experience would be a constantstate of entering stasis. It was hard to say if she would beexperiencing anything, but it was unlikely her thoughts couldproceed.There was nothing he could see that looked like any typeof encapsulation he was familiar with. The only idea he hadwas to try and make a hole thru the security from Thom’sinstruments and allow signals to come in from Ava’s instance118
