Sionce crinkled his nose at the mentions of 'inject' and shook his head rather slowly as he thought of a good way to explain what the Rabbit was really going to be able to do. It was obvious both eh and Fiach were too tired for long-winded explanations so he went with the next best thing - something pulled out of his a**.
"Rabbit doesn't cure the virus permanently, it can only get rid of the infection until you're infected again by Cheshire, in which case the whole process starts over again. It's not a vaccine that prevents the spread either or else Trisste here would be immune...but you saw how well that worked."
Trisste nodded in a sort of agreement, and he sat himself down in a cross-legged position. It was clear he had a better idea of how the hackers of the many people from headquarters would be cured, so sionce gave him the go ahead with a wave of his hand.
< In response to curing all the hackers, we're planning on releasing Rabbit into the mother frame of headquarters as a sort of double-edged sword. While Rabbit is in the system we should allow the hackers to try and find it in an effort to be healed, and as a plus it will be reparing the system as it runs around. There is...a downside however. >
"The downside is Rabbit is made from code from Cheshire, which means Cheshire will hunt it down in an effort to destroy it....thus spreading the infection as well."

With a sigh, Fiach nodded his understanding and commented with a simple, quiet, "I see."
His eyes scanned the many servers that had been combined to power the computers the shop needed. This would be a troublesome chore - especially if the Rabbit with many hackers running after it to catch it and be healed. Even worse with the Chesire running after them all, to inflict the virus upon everything.
Closing his eyes in frustration, Fiach muttered at the computer, "So when are you releasing the Rabbit?"

"The sooner the better, I think. Hackers are at stake here."
Sionce moved his mouse over a small file labeled 'WRit.anvt" and clicked on it once, high-lighting it and causing a small box of options to appear. It was with a sigh that he turned and face the camera for the first time again since the conversation started and he leaned back in his chair.
"Look, if you're worried about what damaged Cheshire can do to our system - don't. Headquarters has a good firewall grid set up and plenty of back doors should the information from the virus try to spread itself more. I'll be on full time while this is going in order to monitor the situation, so we shouldn't have to worry about our mainframe."
He smiled (though it couldn't be seen) and moved his hand away from the mouse to turn the camera back to a position where all the moniters and keybaords could be seen at all angles.
"See? I'll be sitting here the whole time to make sure nothing happens, and if it'll make you feel better I'll run a program for Trisste to learn that will help him guide the hackers towards finding Rabbit and getting what they can of their virus cured. I do believe we can cure this thing...I jsut need to get hold of Cheshire one more time and try and replicate him one more time. I think that way...I can make Alice."
< And by Alice he means a full cure. >

Raising a dark eyebrow at Sionce's name for the cure, Fiach shrugged. While he was concerned about the main frame and the hackers, he was also concerned about his friend's health. Staying up all night for many nights in a row couldn't possibly be healthy.
"It might be best if Trisste learns how to help run everything for the search - you do need sleep sometime, you know, Sionce."
A slight smirk touched his lips as he tilted his head, "And I know you'd rather not have Adalia lecture you about taking care of yourself, now would you?"
Nodding to himself, he added, "If you feel the sooner, the better, than I suppose as soon as the hackers begin to arrive, you ought to release the Rabbit. That way, the Chesire has less time in the system."

"That's true, sleep would be nice, but I can't depend on Trisste for everything as well. He may be a hacker that doesn't need what I need to survive, but what use would he be to anyone if he was infected as well? I don't know the limit on how many times a hacker can be infected before they become warped and break."
He leaned back more in his chair, the bolts creaking from the movement and their desire to be oiled or at least not abused as much.
"Trisste's been infected about three times now, and each infection gets worse and worse. I can't be sure what would happen if he was hit a fourth time, or a fifth even."

Wincing slightly at how many times Trisste had been infected, Fiach nodded slowly. "So, in other words - your hands are tied, then?" Tilting his head slightly in the nasty habit he had picked up since Adalia had come to live with him, he sighed and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help, then? Adalia would kill me if I made you do all the work alone."

Sionce actually raised an eyebrow when Fiach offered to help, and he started to shake his head before he paused and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't really know what Fiach could do at all - seeing as the man wasn't as into computers as Sionce was, didn't have a hacker of his own to help aid, and was pretty much gloomy 24/7.
Though, he thought, he does have people skills. Maybe he'd be best explaining the situation to the people while Trisste handles the hackers.
"You could do the customer service? You know I'm not good with people, and you somehow are despite your charming personality."

Shrugging and choosing to ignore the jive at his personality, Fiach nodded his consent. "I suppose I can handle the influx of customers..."
Glancing at his tea cup, he added, "After I get some more tea...and a snack, that is." Raising his cup in a mock salute, he gave a wry grin and downed the last of the cold tea. Making a face of slight disgust as he did so - cold tea really didn't taste that good, but being up at odd hours always made him thirsty...and hungry.
As his stomach gave a loud rumble, Fiach glanced back at the screen and asked, with slight embarrassment in his voice, "So what now, then?"

"Well, I'm going to release White Rabbit. You won't see it on your screen, as I've told you it's got a personality that's rather...difficult, but it'll be in the system. It can server hop without any difficulty, like a normal hacker, and once I'm sure it's made it's way into an area of high infection I'll send Trisste in after. He'll be your main guide for the hackers that come in to be healed, and while he's dealing with them you can deal with their partners."
He took a breath and rubbed the back of his neck as his gaze turned from the camera to his moniter and back, Trisste's movements having caught his eye for a moment.
"Looks like he's ready. Fiach, I'm releasing White Rabbit into the system now, so don't be alarmed if your screen flashes for a moment. It's just starting to eat away at an infections it detects."
He quickly rolled his chair over towards the screen which had the file from before on it, and double-clicking it without hesitationhe watched as a white blur flashed across all of his moniters before hitting the open window he'd left as a transport.
"It's in. Trisste, follow it and make sure nothing happens. Cheshire will be looking for it."
< Roger. On my way over to you Fiach, so don't choke this time. =) >
Trisste beeped as he moved from the moniter's screen and out of Sionce's server, his body and movements slowing as he felt hismelf reach a familiar area that was bogging him down. It wasn't as abd as it had been before, White Rabbit was seeing to that, but it still felt a little clammy.
< All here. Any questions, Fiach? >

Glowering at Trisste's comment about choking he shook his head in response to the question. "At this time, no, I don't have any questions."
Glancing back down at his tea cup, he raised it once more and added, "Though I will be back momentarily - I need a refill and a bite to eat, I'm afraid."
Fiach quickly made his way back to the kitchen, allowing the Rabbit to do its thing as he made a hot cup of tea and hunted for a snack.

Aya had woken up to the phone ringing, unfortunately she hadn't done it fast enough to get to the offending machine in time. Yawning she turned to look at the time, it was much too early. Out of habit she pressed the on button on her laptop, as she pulled on a pair of worn out jeans, and a tight fitting tee. As she entered her password with one pale hand, she pressed the answering machine with her other. What she heard chilled her to the depths of her soul.
She rolled over, quickly looking at her screen where Syaoran, and Alorne looked up at her, a little groggy. "Get to your jump drives my babies, we have an early morning trip." After a few questions, they finally complied, and she attached the chain that held the drives around her neck, as she shut down the computer.
Once it was in the bag, she grabbed her jacket, and ran out the door as if the devil himself was on her heals. Thank god no one was on the road, she didn't even look as her legs carried her across the cracked asphalt, and into the shadowed shelter of the park. Normally she would have slowed, admired the play of light on the dirt path, but she didn't have time, didn't have the heart as it was still lodged in her throat.
Soon she saw it in sight, and she sprinted across the remaining ground, and burst threw the doors. Her green eye's wide, she blinked, and attempted to calm down as she approached Fiach. Her pale skin was slightly flushed, and she had to remind herself this was only for a checkup, and there was probably nothing wrong with her babies.
She stopped as she reached the side of the desk, and pushed her computer back behind her back. "Hello, Fiach, its been a while." Slowly she unclasped her chain, and lay it down in front of him, both jump drives were engraved with its occupants names, and its color matched that of the same.
"I have Alorne, and Syaoran with me. For the check up.. Umm." She flushed a little now, she didn't know what to say, she was worried about them and it drained her usually quick witted mind with anxiety. "Yea..." Her voice was soft, worried, and she began to play with a single strand of her red hair. "What's going on Fiach? What is this thing gonna do to them?"

Morning. With a cup of coffee damping next to the computer and filling the air with the typical aromatic scent of relaxed early mornings, Raven boredly tickles the buttons of a customer's keyboard as he sets up the configuration of a new server and accountancy programs. His laptop rests on a chair besides him, running smoothly and silent day and night since he acquired a little Hacker.
"Your software will be up and runing soon, sir. Just a few additional options to be taken care of-"
His cell rang. The gentle buzzing of the phone uninterested interupts Raven in his speech.
"I'm sorry. I'll repeat it after this phonecall, sir. Please excuse me for a second.", he says as he picks up the phone with an annoyed air. Deep inside the man's happy to have a little diversion. "Hello?"
Fiach's voice breefly explains the possibility of a danger for the bought Hackers. Raven frowns and quickly types a little note for Enya, the Hacker living in his laptop since short.
< "Fiach calls us. There's seem to be a little problem, a possible danger that might threaten all Hackers" >
While the cursor patiently blinks behind the text, Raven apologises once more to the man and repeats what he was about to say.
"As I wanted to say before, I'll just have to take care of a few options and you'll be able to use the software to your liking, sir. You know, the typical registration, key code configuration and all that boring stuff."
The man nods with a smile, his eyes shifting to the moving object that now appeared on the screen. Seeing the curious frown on the man's head, Raven looks at the screen too.
< Oh. That's okay. Hopefully we can get to see him quickly. It's been a while since I saw Fiach. =) >
< "I guess. I'm sure the man will be glad to see all of the Hackers back again too" >
< He better has too. >
< xD >
< "Don't worry. Maybe we get to know the other owners too then. I wonder if I'll see the two ladies I met in a glance" >
< ^^ >
[Enya - Status: In Cyberspace]
The small note popped up in silence, closing the text frame and saving it on a seperate compartment of Raven's laptop. One he made specially for the little Hacker.
Finishing the last of the software on the computer and handling off the papers, Raven quickly made his way to Mr. Fiach.

It was early. Too early.
"Aiko and Earthy are gonna' die!"
Especially too early for that.
Rolling over in his bed, Kristian lifted his head up and looked over at the entrance to his room, where his younger sister Violetta was standing, arms flailed in a dramatic, and slightly ridiculous, fashion.
"Not now, Vi. Go back to bed."
"No, seriously!" She started over to his bed, "I got a phone message. Listen, listen!"
When the red headed girl reached his bed, she pulled off his covers with one hand and grabbed her iPhone with the other, hitting the voice mail button and putting it on speaker. A moment later a message played, telling about viruses and visiting a shop, both of which he really didn't care about right now.
"We'll go shopping later Vi, when it's not four in the morning..."
"No!" Violetta grabbed his arm and literally pulled him out of bed and then to his feet, pushing him across the room. "We're going now, this is an emergency!"
"...I'm not wearing pants," Kristian noted, since he usually slept in boxers. "Can I put pants on?"
"No, this isn't the time for pants!"
"...ok, fine. I'll go outside sans pants, freeze my a** off and walk through life a**-less. Thanks for that, Vi."
Finally winning, Violetta stomped out of the room for a few moments to let Kristian get dressed. Once he was equipped with not only pants, but shoes and a shirt, too, both of them left the house, Violetta bringing her laptop. On the mini computer was both Violetta's hacker, Aiko, and the earthy hacker that had followed Aiko home one day and had been terrorizing Kristian ever since, Terra- or Earthy, as Vi called him. Really, a threat to Terra wasn't what really motivated Kristian to head to the .NET shop, the place that sold hackers, so early in the morning. It was inability to say no to his younger sister. He really needed to work on that...
The siblings reached the store soon enough, Violetta taking the lead and barging in, announcing loudly as she slammed the door open, "We're here!"
Kristian flinched as the door slammed and closed it gently after they both entered, looking apologetically around while he checked to see if anyone had noticed there loud entry.

Returning from the kitchen with a steaming cup of tea, a piping hot piece of sweet bread in both his free hand and clenched between his teeth, Fiach was unexpectedly greeted by Aya. Quickly setting the tea and sweet breads down, he blushed a light shade of red, and cleared his throat.
Raising an eyebrow at her flushed appearance as if she had run pell mell through the city to arrive at the shop, he did his best to calm her down. "Its just a possible virus. We don't know what it will do to them, or what might happen if left unchecked. All we do know is that all Hackers are possibly infected as the main frame was infiltrated. Sionce managed to steal part of the coding of the virus and has created a partial anti-virus. We're hoping that everyone can gather together and seek out this anti-virus, capture the virus itself, and create a vaccine or a cure to prevent future problems."
Wincing at the sound of the door banging into his nice, clean walls, Fiach looked in the direction of the rowdy newcomers. A familiar face greeted him, and he sighed inwardly but politely responded, "That's good - would you like some tea?" Gesturing behind him in the general direction of the kitchen he spoke with one hand, he indicated his own cup of hot tea with the other. His eyes fell on his sweet bread and he quickly added, "There's also a snack, if you're hungry..."
Nodding in the direction of the boy, he smiled a friendly, and slightly apologetic smile, "My name is Fiach, a pleasure to meet you."

Aya nodded, until he said to seek out the anti-virus. When she heard the door banging open she flinched as well at the unexpected sound, and noticed Fiach had done the same. She watched as a man, and a little girl entered, and listened as Fiach offered his tea, and sweet bread. She looked over at the two, and nodded with a tiny preoccupied smile on her pink lips.
"No Fiach, those are yours, you have probably been up longer than any of us. But thank you very much for the offer." She leaned her head back, and ran her fingers threw her hair, the reddish locks dancing threw her creamy freckled fingers. "One thing still bothers me, you said for the hackers to get together, and seek out the Anti-virus. I understand that the virus is running around, but why is the anti-virus doing the same? That doesnt sound like its gonna help us!"
She had raised her voice a little more then intended, and covered her mouth with her slim hand. "Look, I'm sorry, I'm just worried. I love them, Syaoran, and Alorne. They are my family, I don't want to see them get hurt." She flopped her body against the wall, and hung her head into her hands. Her red hair flowing in front of her face, and a small shuddering breath was heard as she tried to collect herself.
