The tech guy led the way through the corridor, passing several security doors before finally reaching the network control center.
The control room was massive, packed with the latest surveillance gear. Besides the seven or eight techies working there, two robots were also buzzing about.
Kyle, the tech who had brought Mirabella and James in, guided Mirabella to the main control console, politely asking a colleague to give up his spot.
He gestured to the huge screen ahead and quickly explained, "As you can see, the network's getting hit with continuous breaches and virus attacks. We're struggling to keep up with the repairs using our current programs."
The other technicians, neck-deep in emergency fixes, only glanced at Mirabella briefly, too caught up in their tasks to show any surprise or ask questions.
This wasn't just some ordinary household or corporate network; it was the nation's security network. Every second of delay could lead to massive damage.
While everyone else was tight-lipped and tense, Mirabella simply watched the flickering data on the big screen, her expression uncharacteristically serious.
James looked at her, paused, and then softly said, "Don't stress yourself out too much."
He knew Mirabella was a whiz with computers, but this was a unique kind of network sabotage that had even the security department at a loss.
Mirabella just smirked and raised her arm. "No worries, think of it as practice." She pulled over a chair and sat down.
The techies nearby, overhearing her, couldn't help but take a second look at Mirabella.
History showed that those who talked big often ended up with egg on their face, especially in critical situations like this!
