The following day...
Walker is currently surveying Ulrich and Mira's performance against Rank 3 very early in the morning.
Walker: "This is an unusual amount of synergy. It has to be more than the presence of an RX Gene."
He's trying to see any anomalies in the fight.
Walker: "(thinking) What is it?"
However...
The man is currently working on tapping into the electrical mainframe of TRHQ.
Man: "(cackling) Yes, yes, yes! Here we go!"
He uploads a sort of virus directly into the mainframe.
Man: "(cackling) A warning shot, then I'll go ahead and remind him!"
One hour later...
Walker has replayed the footage over and over again and found nothing.
Walker: "Just what am I missing here? I'm just going in cir-"
The power completely cuts out.
Walker: "A power outage?"
Everything has been shut off.
Walker: "I'll go ahead and message-"
His phone is out of battery all of a sudden, despite having a full charge just minutes ago.
Walker: "What the hell? Is my battery failing that badly?"
The power comes back on.
Walker: "Bizarre..."
He plugs his phone in, only to be greeted by a familiar face on his monitor.
Man: "(smirking) How long has it been Walker?"
Walker's heart sinks with fear.
Walker: "N-Nyel?!"
Nyel: "Oh it's me all right Walker, I'm back as the sole survivor of Hack 01."
Walker: "H-How?! I completely shut down the respawn program during the final stand!"
Nyel: "Oh, but it came back online just in time to save my life."
Walker backs away from the monitor.
Nyel: "Now I'm back after hiding for years to finally take what's rightfully mine!"
Walker: "And that is?"
Nyel begins to chuckle.
Nyel: "(chuckling) Your life."
Walker: "You won't kill me that easily."
Nyel: "No, either you kill yourself, or I unleash Project Black."
Walker is beginning to panic.
Walker: "(panicking) Y-You can't unleash Project Black! It'll destroy the world as we know it!"
Nyel: "You have one week Walker. If I don't find your body on the news, then this whole world is going to completely shut down."
Nyel's face leaves the monitor.
Walker: "(calming down) I need to message Shining Hope."
Walker gets back on his computer.
Walker: "I need those two new members to get stronger while I try to locate Nyel!"
He types up a message to the others to meet up later that day.
Walker: "But if I die, then there will be no one who can watch Caleb, or who can properly manage Tomorrow's Reality. Plus..."
His hand freezes as he's about to push Enter.
Walker: "(horrified) ... can I really kill myself?"
He pushes Enter...
