While our two heros were yelling at each other, the two Datawraiths had turned around and one was accessing a rezz-in port, while the other was brandishing a mesh, providing cover for the other. Not that they really needed it, seeing as DJAE and Kamui were distracted. Right then, Henderson_12.wrth (the one brandishing the mesh) felt a strange electric shock run up his leg and straight into his header. He jerked and stood there vibrating for a moment before he derezzed. The zother Datawraith looked up in time for Me to give him a solid punch in the header from my rod, which I then used to shock him back into the real world. DJAE and Kamui noticed the two derezzings, and turned only to see me, Harpo989 standing over the two core dumps shaking my head in dissapointment.
"Seriously, you two. if you're planning a stealth mission, you should know better than not to invite me..."

*DJAE shoots and hits a Datawraith. It doesnt derezz, but multicolored flashes fly round its header*
DJAE: You know something about this system?

Where'd that datawraith come from? I walked over to Kamui, and looked up the small ledge at DJ. "Do I know anything about this system? may I remind you of my curcuit color?"

DJAE: Right... "Train of thought got derailed there," as my User would say. So where is the Encom OS commander?
*DJAE looks at the disoriented Datawraith slamming into the wall*
DJAE: Heh...

"Best guess? High-class program quarintine. I used to place quite a few programs in there, back on my home server..." I glanced over my shoulder at the Datawraith stumbling towards the rezz-in port. I lifted my arm and fired a few mesh pellets into his foot. He stumbled and fell over, knocking himself into sleep mode. I turned back to DJ. "Although it won't be long before ENCOM starts noticing Datawraiths being bounced back."

DJAE: From what? These dumb User impersonators won't beharmed from these! They just erase recent memory and make them dizzy for what they perceive as a minute.

"I mainly meant I was wondering about those two over there." I guestured to the two core dumps.

DJAE: ...yeah, that could be a problem...
Warning/Command> No hostiles are in the vicinity. Weapons safe.
DJAE: Oh joy... the OS's W/C file escaped.

Kamui.EXE pauses.
"Can the wraiths really be user impersonators? Not many have really seen a real user before. I guess it's the mystique that surrounds them," Kamui.EXE says.

Byte: Hrgh.

At DJ and Kamui's prompting, I walked over to the fallen wraith and crouched down on one knee. Then I activated my profiler v3.5 and ran a scan over him. Odd, I thought to myself, That doesn't make sense... I deactivated my profiler and turned to the other two. "Kamui, you might remember my comment when we were dealing with Korruptika? How the Datawraiths had unusual energy signatures? Well it looks like the same thing here. It would seem these might even be the same datawraiths we encountered. in other words- these are users all right, I know wraiths too well. But they're not getting bounced back to the user world when they derezz... somehow they're simply being re-rezzed back at a rezz-in station..." I Bit my lip and considered not explaining, then decided to finish.
"That also means David might be here."

"David...... could that mean he still might be infected?" Kamui.EXE asks.

"No... there's not a single byte of corruption on this server. he'd be clean." I questured towards one of the doors. "We need to get going..."

"A while ago. He risked himself to save a server. But it would so seem his effort was in vain as the server was as you could say not-so-legit," kamui.EXE explains as she follows Harpo.
Kamui.EXE looked over her shoulders once. She thought she was being followed.
Am I being paranoid here? Or did I just see something other than us move? Kamui.EXE thought.
