*A brilliant sphere of light rapidly expands from the point of impact, the shockwaves from your attack instantly deleting any nearby structures and rumbling the ground like an earthquake*

That’s it!
*Lands one last sword swipe across the yellow sphere, which explodes on impact and rains all of the attacks I stored inside it converted to bolts of lightning*

@System

*One of my legs buckles and crashes me into a nearby tower*

Lighting Blade!
*I jet upwards and a massive lighting blade crackles on my other arm and I rocket down into the virus blade first*

Bug Death Thunder!!
*The data from the destroyed terrain collects into a massive sphere of purple electricity, which I slam into your torso*

@Spiritblitz

*A new indicator appears in the corner of your vision, reading “Synchro: 15%,” while your movement increases in fluidity and power*

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Shields my face and takes the blast, sliding back several yards on my feet*

@Valiance

*As you slide, I rush at you barraging you with punches that create shockwaves*

Doesn’t look like we’re going to get any more detail than “sometime the past week” unless you can find more of those busted cables.

@Techspert

I only saw the one. Let me check again.
*Looks as well as feels for any additional non-functioning ports and cables*

Hm?
*glances at the indicator but focuses back on the virus shortly after, grinning*

@GalaxyRaider

*Everything else seems to be connected, routing along the maintenance tunnel and through a thin stone wall to a more robust control room with interactive terminals*

@Spiritblitz

*The arm collapses under the weight of the two attacks, destroyed, and I grapple you with my other hand, trying to stand at the same time*

Incinerate!
*my body heats up and creates a massive fire ball around me that implodes*

*Follows the wires all the way*
More controls here.

@Galvanize

*Blocks them all with my forearms, shifting slightly with each blow, until I through my arms out to push your arms away from your body, opening you up for a direct kick squarely to the gut with riveting force*

@Techspert

It does. I guess we've already crossed the line of vandalism, even if a concrete wall is harder to fix than a new door.
*Checks the wall to make sure I don't sever any important connections before carving my way through the wall*

@GalaxyRaider

I think this crosses into felony territory.
*Kicks the slab in to the next room, opening up the passage to a control center with three locked terminals and a disabled monitor*
Looks like nobody’s run this place live for a looong time.
