*Pauses and stares down at the keyboard when the password is accepted*

@GalaxyRaider

*The cursor blinks blankly as background services continue*

No fear of restrictions.
*Starts trying to piece together potential passwords by matching the keystrokes to times when the restricted data was accessed*

@GalaxyRaider

*Each password generates a corrupted decryption key until ‘Tempo+Rhythm’ releases the cleartext contents of the whole folder, scattering across the desktop*

Soon, I’ll have nothing but answers.
*Opens up the the data using forced-admin privileges to see if anything is different*

@GalaxyRaider

*It opens up access to every folder and service, and memory contains a history of keystrokes*

I never lied! You’ll see.
*Loads the computer up to the simulated version of the original*
Well, maybe you won’t see. But just wait for the results!

@GalaxyRaider

I’ve got nothing but confidence.

To start, it’ll copy it a third time. So now I have a buffer copy in place to instantly just wipe away and start again in an instant if I break anything or otherwise set something off.
*Rubs the back of my head and chuckles*
Admittedly a lot of the bulk is just ergonomic. Nice for standing for the work.

@GalaxyRaider

The truth comes out.

I’m starting with your idea. And with that, I’m showing absolutely no mercy.
*Picks up the disc and tosses it flawlessly into an appropriate slot on my machine, next to a second, identical drive, then walks over to it as it flares to life*

@GalaxyRaider

So you’ve got it copied, what else does that do?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I’m sparing no effort, that’s all.

@GalaxyRaider

No protest. Can’t wait to see what you can do with this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

It took 20 seconds. Can you really call it “overengineering”? Besides, I’m not playing around when it comes to this stuff. It’s too important to go easy on anything.

@GalaxyRaider

I didn’t say it was hard... But let’s see if you can break through now that you have a sandbox.

Don’t be so surprised at how capable I am. We can talk about how awesome I am later if you wanna lift my spirits a bit.
*Pulls a drive from the new machine, wags it back and forth with a confident grin before simply setting it on top of the old one, at which point it begins to remotely scan its contents and copy them to itself, OS, data and all*

@GalaxyRaider

Yeah, capable of overengineering every problem you come across. But at least, knowing you, it’ll work.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I remotely threw together my own ‘puter and brought it here specifically to really tear this thing to shreds… Metaphorically.

@GalaxyRaider

*Stares for a moment, nodding silently between blinks*
Yep, add one to the tally.
