It's rare that Mille actually takes the autism gang into Rocket Headquarters and actually has them out and about. However, tech duties are easier with a Porygon around, even if Rotoms could also do the job, so ... and frankly, dee just likes Porygon around whenever dee does something in cyberspace. Which is, arguably, all the time.

Still, the task today might prove ... possibly difficult. Or at least intimidating enough for every single member of the braincell to retreat into their pokéballs as Mille knocks in a rhythmic pattern, signalling that dee has arrived from IT support and would not hear any indication of coming in. Thus, after waiting for a couple of seconds, dee would cautiously open the door and.

Huh.

It's rare for Mille to feel like shrinking into demself, but the room feels suffocating in an angry way. Hatred seems to seep into every corner, curling there with long fingers waiting to sink into flesh. Dee is very quick to take out der Porygon - gladly too much code to comprehend the aura in detail, unlike with Rotoms - that swiftly slips into der tablet. It starts floating, ready to transcribe spoken words and sign if needed.

"Good afternoon, Admin Cross. What do you need me to do?" a robotic voice sounds, a stoic monotone.

jayden cross is a patient man.

[break][break] Tolerant, persevering, diligent as the best of them. Or at least, he likes to think he is. He does not think he is the kind of person to fly off the handle, despite what those grunts who spread the rumors of him chasing howard slayte through Sootopolis City seem to think.

[break][break] He is patient.

[break][break] But what the hell is this?

[break][break] Papers scattered everywhere. The icy fridge that was his office seemed to implode with a sort of deadly frost even greater than the ones that people had faced as KYUREM had raged the silent icelands. His fists clenched tightly at his side, as if he could merely will the digitized screen in front of him to life.

[break][break] When the voice breaks through, Jayden's gaze snaps to it. To Fenelle Miller. To the nameless grunt that had come answering his call.

[break][break] "Finally," he snarled. "I was locked out of database 0042 and I need access. Now."

[break][break] But he did not move, rigid in his posture, standing between the icy wasteland that twisted around his desk and the entrance to the room.

[break][break] Somewhere, inside his frozen computer, a PORYGON beeped weakly.

Fenelle really would like Fuecoco out of the ball right now to have something warm to hold in a frigid landscape built on chilling ice. The room is a mess that dee does der best not to pay attention to, instead focusing on Admin Cross across the room behind a computer. Locked out of it, possibly, too, as the request makes itself known.

Dee carefully traverses the room as quickly as dee can to take a closer look at the computer - one that isn't really running at ideal temperature anymore, unless they'd want to run a supercomputer. A stray glance towards Admin Cross - would he be willing to try and help by being a cooling system ....... - that dee quickly retreats to look at the computer.

"Pardon the stupid sounding question, but did you try turning it on and off?" It's wild how many problems could be solved with a reboot. Der Porygon does signal, however, too, indicating that it has sensed the presence of the other Porygon inside.

"Ah, my Porygon has found the other Porygon in the database. It will go and assist now, so communication will be on-hold for a minute, written notes or via lipreading which can be a bit hard to parse." Dee does take out a notebook and a pencil as der phone blinks dark for a moment, before turning on again. A program is now running, too, following the Porygon's movement as it enters the computer's cyberspace and see what the other Porygon is up to.

As ever, while its movements are swift and practiced, there's also traces left behind, like a child running around with paint. They won't disturb anything; they're just signs of I was here.

"What did you say?"

[break][break] His eyes narrows, annoyance flashing in his eyes like angry blades.

[break][break] "I don't care how. Just fix it. We're running out of time."

[break][break] Normally, it was not common for the admin to lose his cool, at least, not like this. Both literally and metaphorically, the admin was actually known for holding his cool.

[break][break] "Fix it."

"Noted, sir," Fenelle takes the question as an answer that this has happened, doing der best not to flinch as it seems like the temperature as dropped even further. "Mandatory question, sorry." But with the most obvious solution out of the way, the Porygon's called for and sent into cyberspace.

A few seconds pass in silence as the first set of analytics go through, before appearing on the laptop that dee has brought with them. Another few moments of silence that dee thankfully can spend not focusing on not trying to be intimidated.

Eventually, dee shows Admin Cross the laptop screen - the console user interface in the back with various lines of code, and a text window (notepad++) in front of it, displaying the test:

There seems to be an authorisation progress being blocked by something else ... did you download something new today, or did something update?
I can see if resetting to a prior backup will fix this, but let me know if there's any data or programs that might be affected by that.

The Porygon meanwhile appears as a little icon on Jayden's screen, before flickering onto Fenelle's screen where it seems to disappear into the calender in the bottom right.

Jayden was not well-known for losing his cool. (No pun intended.) In fact, it was nearly the opposite. Terrifying as he might have been, serious as he might have been, he had always known to exercise tolerance among the grunts — at least, as far as he would think of it.

[break][break] But in the recent days, weeks, months since fern delaney's betrayal... well.

[break][break] His temper had thinned.

[break][break] And unfortunately, grunts like Fenelle Miller were on the receiving end of it.

[break][break] "Nothing new today," he confirmed, and while frustration gleamed in his icy-blue gaze, there was a real effort of trying to excise the root of the problem. "But I did download a report last night."

[break][break] He frowned.

[break][break] "But NEON would not have sent me an unsafe file."

[break][break] The admin trusted mint frost to do as much. It must have been something else.

[break][break] "There have been a lot of reports recently from both Beasts and grunts alike regarding the rifts through Project Infinity. As you very well may be aware."
