[It's been a few days since she's been here, but Namine's still a little restless. Just a little bit. She still believes that she shouldn't be here, that she needs to go back because there's something important that needs to be done. But there's no easy way to find backdoor it seems.]

Is anyone here good at hacking or programming? Would it be entirely possible to create a way out through those means?

[It would mean leaving Lunamon behind, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And if they can't find a way out, whose to say that they can't make one?]

It's never been done before. In this case I don't think it's very well possible, either.

But this world is made of data, right? Therefore, it might be possible. Unless, it would rip the world apart?

Normally it is, yes. Right now things are a bit different. The gates that were explained in the letters sent out are basically nonexistent.

Things are equally biological and data right now. For example, if you're punched you'll still feel pain. Cutting your finger will still result in minor bleeding. Anything larger, such as death, is impossible here because the data must be destroyed at its root.

What you're talking about, hacking your way out, even if things were normal the Digital World still has an infinite number of firewalls at its disposal. Even if you managed to get past one or two you'll never fully override the system.

I suppose, theoretically, it may be possible.

[Says the girl who can't see Koushiro's text]

[She might be willing to divulge their conversation, with Koushiro's permission unfortunately.]

I've only hacked into a system once before, but I was thinking it might be possible to do so here. I'm no expert on data systems though. [It was only through persistence, patience and a lot of quiet observation that gave her that opportunity.]

Neither am I. I do know someone who may be capable of such feats, though.

[Chihiro did design the Alter Ego program, after all

You do? Would you happen to know if they are here?

[She's not going to rally people together to try to hack into the data system, but she wouldn't mind asking some questions.]

They are, yes. You're looking for a Chihiro Fujusaki.

Chihiro? I'm rooming with her. Perhaps I can ask her about her then.

[pauses before replying, debating on whether she should correct that assumption. but it's Chihiro's business, not hers]

Good luck. I'd be interested in any results that you manage to obtain, if you can obtain them.

[She'll know the truth, eventually.]

Regarding hacking? Yes, I'll keep that in mind in the case we do find something. I think everyone would want to know, particularly those that do not wish to stay. Thank you for the well wishes.

You're welcome. Do you have a name?

Yes, I'm sorry. My name is Naminé. And yours?

Kirigiri. Just Kirigiri.

It's nice to meet you, Kirigiri. Thank you for your help and advice. [Even if it is technically just over text.]

I wish you luck in your endeavors.

Thank you. I feel that I might need it.

I like to think I'm good at it, but I'd need some kind of terminal to access this place's internal coding..

er, and I don't think the D-Terminal will work. I don't think even the best of programming abilities could be useful without something like that..

That does make sense. Even with this world being made of data, you'd still need something to access it. I don't think the D-Terminals wouldn't have access like that. At least not readily available. Maybe there's something somewhere else that's powerful enough.

Yes, there might be some kind of main hub or control room somewhere in the city hidden. Or it could possibly be outside of the city.. Either way, we'll have to find it before I can do anything useful.

Maybe we could organize a group of people to search for something like that? We might at least be able to find out who is behind this.

Yes. They may have something somewhere like a hub. But if they do, and even of it is hidden, it may be guarded if it is such a vital part of this world. [Although she's not too keen on messing with things if it causes the fall of the world.]

There may not be a single person or entity that brought us here. It could be the very world itself. But, I'm not the best at exploring, but I'd be willing to join a group like that. We may find other information about this place of we don't find anything related to the world's coding.

Yes.. if it's guarded, I don't think I'll be able to do much to overpower the guards.. We would have to find a back way in of some sorts.

Do you think so? I suppose it is possible. This world might be very volatile, then, with inconsistent coding. I wonder who programmed it, or if it just came into existence itself?

Yes, something that vital would be closely guarded. Perhaps there's someone that would know something about it, or we could use one of the Digimon. I'm not that knowledgable about programming or how to start to code something this complex, but it could be possible thg it just appeared, or came from something. All places need to begin to grow somewhere and sometime, whether someone programmed a place to do that, or it does it on its own.

We have at our disposal small digital devices. The ones we're using to communicate with. They're not exactly smartphones, but they act like it. I assume they'd be easy to hack into with the right tools. I assume their programming is similar to what I'm familiar with back home.

What you want to do is hack your way out of a world. where does a world have its ports? Where are we going to find the code that built it? Is there a supercomputer somewhere hosting everything? I think a code for a universe will be much more complicated than one for a computer, even if we get that far.

[She was a little hopeful about this endeavour, but that's a well deserved reality check.]

Compared to the Terminals, it sounds like it's a lot more complicated and time confusing, provided there is such a thing as a code that holds this world together. Can I ask what kind of tools you would need or have used? [He sounds like quite the expert and she wouldn't mind learning more.]

You can ask but it's all classified information.

[No joke.]

For starters, a location that is 100% Digital World would be our best bet to start working in. This city merges with Tokyo. Any code we could find here might be Tokyo's code as well.

[Tokyo doesn't have a code-- but it makes sense, right? To Tim it does.]

[Classified is fine with her. She'll avoid the topic then.]

That makes sense, I guess. You mean that we'd need something originally from the Digital World, that isn't affected by the merger. Right? That could give us access to the world's own code.

That's right.

Has this ever worked for you before?
