Chapter 1: The Mission

1
Children in bathing suits were having fun on the beach. They waved their hands in response and continued to have fun. The adults watched the children, bathing in tender sunny baths.

A sand beach stretching away into the distance. Crowds of people enjoying their rest by the sea. Seeing happy kids through her sungla.s.ses, Angela felt a sense of nostalgia. She has not been a child for a long time. Lying on the deckchair, her body emanated femininity, she was wearing a rather open bathing suit. Her hands were folded behind her head, under her graceful light hair. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were also mouth-watering. By her side was a table. On it stood a gla.s.s with a red drink.

"May I disturb you?"

Angela shifted her gla.s.ses and turned towards the source of the noise. In front of her was young guy with light dreadlocks. He was tanned, and a complete lack of taste was said by the golden chain around his neck and a bracelet.
Angela kept silent and the boy continued.
" You were at this location yesterday. The appearance is quite standard, but the amount of data embedded in it is amazing. A lot of memory is allocated on you."
"You think?"
"I"m sure."
Angela sighed. She chose this look precisely because she didn"t want to stand out. And this guy seems to have immediately realized what"s what. With this knowledge he could well be an engineer.
"You have an individual profile, you"re from the privileged layer? Why do you need this public location? Couldn"t you get your own private area?"
The guy leaned down to Angela"s ear.
"Actually, my friend and I managed to get a private area. It is quiet there and a lot can be done. Want to come?"
Angela herself didn"t realize, how she smiled sadly.
"Sorry, but I like to rest alone."
"In this noise?" The guy was surprised.
"I like this beach."
"Somehow that is not convincing. Given the volume of your data, you"re here to show off."
"I"m here because of work."
"Work?"
At this moment the wave hardened. Time seemed to become static, the wave froze. It was as if everything moved on fast forward, then someone pressed the stop b.u.t.ton and everything turned into a storyboard. The entire beach zone up to the umbrellas, making up one common model began to flicker. Sounds became unclear. People started screaming, it was more like madness.
"What is this?"
The frightened guy also spun his head in all directions. The expression on Angela"s face became even more serious. She forced herself to look around, calmly looking for the cause of this. It could have been thought that the anomaly ceased to spread, as a huge screen appeared in the sky.
"Residents of Diva, I ask for a minute of your attention"
It was a calming, not hostile voice. On the screen appeared an image of a myriad of stars from outer s.p.a.ce. The security system was silent, as the intruder continued speaking.
"My name is Pioneer. To open your path to new opportunities, I invaded your virtual s.p.a.ce."
The children, playing on the beach, looked at the screen anxiously. The adults spoke loudly.
"Hey, again!"
"They say that there are hacks happening from Earth. Is this true?"
"Oh G.o.d, how scary."
"It can not be. How could they have gotten here?"
"What is the security system doing? Quickly do something."
The intruder, named Pioneer, continued speaking.
"After a lot of preparation a project was developed to study the habitable region of the spiral arm of Orion. I"m here to offer you undiscovered worlds, a chance to on a journey through the never ending universe in search of new forms of life."
To hide his fear, the guy who stood beside Angela yelled:
"This is all because we are in an open location."
He waited for an answer, but Angela just stood up silently.
She grabbed the gla.s.s from the table and spilled out the contents. The red liquid never touched the ground, transforming into an information screen and a sensor console. Surrounding Angela, they floated in mid-air. It was a workplace of the security service system.
Angela opened her mouth:
"Agent Code – ZQ875456, Angela Balzac. Based on the authority of the security officer, I ask you to authorize the management of the system."
The accompanying AI system responded.
"The request was accepted. The rights to manage the system are transferred to Angela Balzac. Waiting for commands."
The guy was stunned by what he had witnessed. He thought she was a whimsical lady, so it was very hard for him to take in the reality.
Angela gave the AI directions.
"Provide a complete list of users. Check the identification codes of all the residents of Diva."
On the information window a list of users was displayed, the screen was completely filled. Immediately the check began, identification codes that didn"t raise any suspicion disappeared one after another. Pioneer"s speech was still going. The screen in the air now projected Earth"s desert landscapes.
"Humanity said goodbye to the destroyed Earth and is leading a new life in cybers.p.a.ce Diva. And yet I want to offer you a way for further development. Dreams, hopes, and an endless future, that our ancestors have given to us, our heritage, has been completed"
The verification was complete. There were only 7 user identification codes left on the screen.
"Among the 1842 users, 7 double user entries were found. Alarm: unauthorized access."
" Cancel the alarm. Let him do what he wants. Sort by bandwidth."
The result of the sorting was highlighted on the screen. On one of the points a "reserve line" was indicated.
"There he is. He is using the reserve line. It only remains to find out, who is using the stolen identification code.”
Angela started looking through the list of users. To get to the division of modeling the location of the executive power, you need a code, in order to pa.s.s the frames. The reserve line did not connect like the usual, uninstalled users could only get to it from a private government channel. In other words, Pioneer was able to crack the most secure systems of the executive branch.
"This isn"t funny…"
Angela jerked her hand sharply. By doing this, she transferred the console into combat mode. She gave a command.
"Track the access point!"
Pioneer was still broadcasting. The screen, suspended in the air, switched the image. Now there was a huge s.p.a.ceship.
"Please look. This is the fruit of lost wisdom, "The Ark". This ship is for exploring the depths of s.p.a.ce. It was originally designed to hold a crew of about 100 people, but humanity now lives in a digitized form in Diva, it chose a safer and more efficient way for existence. Not restrained by human flesh, the resident of Diva, the descendants of the human race, following the path of evolution, let"s challenge the world of stars."
Angela manipulated the console, she plunged into a network filled with various signals. She was headed to the source of the system"s hacking. As a result Angela quickly found an icon containing suspicious information. She tried isolating it. The icon divided. A lot of bodies, created from the information began to scatter in different directions of the network s.p.a.ce.
"You let out your dummies too late… This time I"ll get you!" Angela put in a new command.
A lot of sub-accounts were launched. They all shot at the same time. The aiming was done. The enemy released the bullets too late, their number decreased significantly.
"The launch day is already close. I hope that among you there are those who want to challenge the boundless galaxy."
All traps were completely destroyed. Only one was left. A grin appeared on Angela"s face.
"Gotcha."
"My name is Pioneer, and I can"t wait for your answers."
The speech was finished. The screen disappeared. The body, consisting of a stream of information, which was already in the hands of Angela, also disappeared.
"c.r.a.p!"
Frustrated Angela screamed, and then she heard a male yell from behind. She spun around. There stood the frightened guy with dreadlocks.
"Oh, you"re still here."
With a motion of her hand, the workplace disappeared.
"Angela Balzac, officer of the 3rd rank, you are being summoned to the security service. We ask you to appear immediately."
Angela sighed and smiled bitterly.
"That"s the end of my vacation."
She snapped her fingers. The table and the deckchair dissolved, while her the texture of her swimsuit changed. Now her whole body was covered in a tight suit.
She turned to the guy.
"Because of this work. I am a security officer of the system. If you still want to meet, you can leave the address."
He was barely able to make a kind smile.
"Oh, no, but… maybe we"ll meet again."
"Oh really?…"
Angela turned on her heels. There was a majestic door, similar to the entrance into an ancient Greek temple. The huge gates solemnly opened. The divine light flooded everything around. Angela headed toward it.
