Chapter 6 (Cont.)
"Regarding the organisation called Septauxthebes, a new detail was recovered yesterday. They were developing an enormous malware known as "Sad Parasite"; needless to say, it exceeds the current understanding of malwares. The assailants were extremely thorough with evidence obliteration.. Never thought I would be granting the clearace to use Prometheus for aiding in the investigation. You know how it was always supposed to be contained and shackled in highest possible security, ma'am?", Aidenson said as he sat down; his tone was usual too. And he's straight to the point as always...
"Mr. Aidenson, me and the cabinet have overseen "the third amendment to Act 13" in the last administrative summit, didn't we? You are aware of that. It was me who made the proposal and presentation of the "third amendment of Act 13". And the poll tilted to the cabinet majority's consensus at 66% being in favour. The opposition is substantial here although, so any anxiety regarding the amendment is understandable. But it is effective now. And Tatterstown is in an emergency situation.The Oracle is for regular administration. The matter of higher concern is that whether The Eox has kept up with Prometheus or not. I believe it has?"
"Oh yes, ma'am. Eevves never left The Eox. Eevves is divided and has mixed opinions regarding the matter. No Eevves employee disagrees with the company's projects on The Eox. It just appears that not everyone can say the same for Prometheus. Interfacing with Prometheus was not a prospect everyone had foreseen along the way. On the other hand, many in The Eox development team are in consensus. Act 13's amendment shifted their career paths toward one of exceptional challenge and prestige alike. The major milestone of their professional lives. And mine too."
"Excellent. And the existence of Sad Parasite was discovered by Prometheus, isn't that so?"
