Sitting in bed (with occasional short walking trips for, like, peeing) didn't leave her much to do. She got through the whole Game of Thrones book series, rewatched the television show, deleted the television show and wrote an angry rant in an email to Finn about the fates of Sansa Stark and Shireen Baratheon... but all the while, she had a pad of paper to hand so she could piece together the new and improved database. Her notes looked a little like this:
- Problem--Database difficult to access and even more difficult to search.
Solution--Rewrite database code with modified keywords and custom parameters.
Problem--Database cannot be accessed by Knights, except with custom cookie from stranger with the Slipmail address.
Solution--Patch the hardware of the communication device. Write the code, get to Olympus, and get it done.
Problem--Holy s**t this b***h is out of date
Solution--Bring it up to date.
Problem--Everyone's going to think I'm trying to kill them again.
Solution--Get Hvergelmir/Babylon/someone to claim it's them? Don't tell them it's me? Do... something?
The problem, of course, was that she had no idea how to fix the last issue, and then there was also the issue of how she could update the code and the database on the go. Laptops could be tracked. The Negaverse wasn't exactly, you know, known for cleverness and sneakiness. But there had to be some kind of intelligence there for them to have once succeeded in world domination. (The fact that they weren't currently succeeding at anything had little to do with it, she thought, only that the potential was there.) So she needed something locked to her personal hand, something like the rings but with an easier input mechanism than reading off everyone's intel...
How would knights even do this? She knew from Europa's phone that senshi could access the database through their phone. Rings did not come with screens, but... with her upgrades, they did have holograms. So, duh. Holographic book. Easy.
She asked a nurse for a pen and paper, and once she had them (well, a pencil rather than a pen, but whatever) she started doodling. Working within the rings would be the best. Lending out the input devices was a shitty idea unless she could somehow code for knighthood or senshidom, so she'd... save that for later. No, right now it was best to have it all go through her. Actually... there was some stuff back at her Wonder that could help her with this coding. Anabel tapped the eraser end of her pencil against the tray table. Maybe Babylon could go get them for her.
Anabel doodled another concept. It was worth asking.
