"So, this is a fact now?"
Kiriman stared at the High Technician in front of him, who hesitantly nodded with a hint of discomfort.
"Yes, sir. As per your orders, I've been monitoring the Whisperer's network and the result is... regrettable."
"They are uploading some kind of code to the Kaus network... Can you figure out what those codes are for?"
"I'm afraid it's not possible in a short time, and moreover... the nature of those codes..."
The High Technician hesitated.
"The nature of those codes is peculiar; we've done our best to contain them, but they seem to be able to penetrate our defenses. The Mechanic Religion is somewhat concerned about this. However, up until now, it hasn't produced any effect—it might just be some unique program code of the Whisperers? But I wish they had notified us beforehand."
