Camelot Network Solutions Chapter 4

Printer-friendly version

Tinker stretches when she gets up the next day. Several of her joints pop as she heads towards the bathroom to take a shower and do her morning business. She gets the water just the way she likes it and steps into the shower.

Tinker runs her fingers over some scars she has on her upper arms and across her chest. She was lucky to be alive after the explosion a person set went off. She was surprised that it had been set by a sixteen-year-old kid that wanted revenge on the bullies in his school.

She had been there working with her uncle when the explosion occurred. They were replacing the old ballasts in the fluorescent lights in the hallway when the explosion went off. She got hit by shrapnel and her uncle took the full force of the blast erupting from the classroom. If her
uncle hadn’t been in front of her, she would have received the full force of the blast.

Tears slide down her cheeks as the water from the shower head hides them. She finishes her shower and wipes the tears away as she dries off. She heads into her bedroom and starts getting dress. Camelot really doesn’t have a dress code, so she wears a pair of coveralls with the company logo on it.

Tinker walks over to her desktop computer to see what repair orders came in and notices she didn’t have any listed. Which means she could finally finish her inspections. She grabs her Ipad and heads towards the cafeteria to grab some breakfast.

Once she was finishing breakfast. Tinker starts where she left off yesterday on her inspection tour. The Castle was finally finished with the remodeling and she was to make sure nothing was left unfinished and was working right.

As she Tinker is checking out the power room. She notices they have a lot of power being generated. The geothermal generators, the windmills and the new road surface they instead. That’s not counting the new solar windows. They had power to spare. She continues her inspection. The water filtration systems, the recycle bins and the trash separation system.

It takes half the day to finish her inspections. Tinker heads towards her office, after stopping to buy a bottle of cold iced tea. She sends the results to Morgana and Arthur. She heads towards her second workshop and works on some special projects for the Castle. Morgana and Arthur wanted her to build a few drones for Camelot.

Morgana, Gloria, and Arthur were in command center monitoring different networks they had been hired to watch and maintain. Gloria gets an alert on one of her monitors as several hackers from China tried to break into their client’s computer network.

The honeypots and traps she set, had been penetrated. The Chinese hackers were good and were giving her a run for her money, but once she managed to corral them and backtrace to where they were operating from, she seized their computer system and took control of it.

Arthur had his hands full with a bunch of hackers from North Korea. They were trying to infiltrate a software firm Camelot had a contract with. Arthur wasn’t a slouch when it came to cyber battle. He was just as good as Morgana and Gloria. He gives them a taste of what he was capable of.

Morgana was watching her partners as they did combat. She had an intruder earlier, but she taught them a lesson about trying to break into their client’s computers. She was still monitoring Prince Charles resident for Anika. She was also reviewing satellite footage from yesterday from a location Anika gave her. She watches as a box truck leaves the location and heads out. She follows the path as much as she could and finally tracks it down.

Morgana sends the coordinates to Anika. She brings the live feed up and could see they were prepping something for launch. She sends a text to Anika that they were getting ready to launch. She tries to get a better view, but she could only make out five objects. The fifth one was a little difficult to make out.

Once she is done sending Anika the information. She turns her attention to see if Gloria or Arthur needed help. She noticed that they were having fun. Arthur finishes his cyber battle with the North Koreans and Gloria shouts out.

“Take that, you dirty rotten hacks.” Gloria was on cloud nine after beating the Chinese hackers. She stole as much information from them as
she could and caused their systems to explode. She overclocked their CPU’s. Gloria reviews the information she stole from their computers.
Some of it was stolen identify information, but most of it was information they stole from computer companies and research firms.

“You sound like you had fun.”

“I just crashed one of China’s cyber hacking group's computer system and stole what they had as well.” Gloria looked like the cat who ate the canary.

Morgana just shakes her head. She glances over towards Arthur and saw him leaning back in his chair.

“Let me guess, you fried their system?”

“Nope, I barbecued it. All they have left is a ship's anchor now.” Arthur loved ripping and frying other people’s computer system.

Morgana just smirks at Arthur’s statement. She knew he enjoyed bringing the bad guys down.

“So, what were you doing while Gloria and I were working?” Arthur just looks at Morgana.

“Tracking down some bad guys for Anika. They look like they are ready to launch something, but I can’t make what it is out.” Morgana brings the image up on the monitor.

She zooms in as much as she could. Four of the objects she could identify, but the big one the bad guys were rolling out, couldn’t be identified.

“Whatever it is, it looks like the engine of it is hovering in mid-air.” Arthur taps a few keys on Morgana’s keyboard to sharpen the image more.

They could see a shadow underneath what the object was. He could tell it was some sort of drone.

“Does Anika know about this?” Arthur looks at Morgana.

“No, I couldn’t make it out when I sent the text to her.” Morgana felt guilty now.

Morgana spins around in her chair and sends a quick text. She also sends a picture that they just looked at. She hopes it’s not too late.

“I hope it will help them.” Morgana hopes Anika and her crew will be able to stop what is about to happen.

“Don’t worry Morgana, Anika and her team will be able to handle this problem. I’ll do a system check on Spirit and make sure he’s ready for launch.” Gloria uses the remote codes that Terry gave them to access Wraith’s system to check on Spirit’s combat systems.

Alexa’s Body shop, London England:
Wraith’s systems come alive as Gloria access his command center. Diagnostics start running letting Gloria know all systems were ready.

“Wraith’s systems are ready for combat and he is fully armed.”

“Good, that means we can launch to intercept these other drones.” Morgana looks at the system check on her monitor.

“That’s one drone against five. Will spirit be able to stop all of them?” Gloria was concerned about that.

“Is the black knight still online?” Morgana figures they could use his surveillance drones in to ram into the others.

“Yes, but his drones aren’t fast enough to deploy against the other drones. They are slower. Only Nobel and Wraith have faster combat
drones.” Gloria tries the command code Terry gave them for Nobel.

Since it was the first time those codes had been used, it takes a second for Nobel to respond. It checks the authorization and allows Gloria into its systems.

“We have access to Nobel. Checking to see if Terry gave us access to Nobel’s weapon systems.”

Terry:
Terry was checking Nobel’s system when everything came alive inside him. She watches as the HUD systems projects onto the windshield. He taps a few commands and notices it was the access code he gave Morgana.

He watches as the system goes through its system check. He notices Gloria was checking Nobel’s drone and its systems. A smile appears on Terry’s face as he watches Morgana or whoever was using the code check on the weapons systems of Nobel’s drone.

Camelot Network Solutions:
“Nobel’s drone is ready to launch.” Gloria looks at Arthur and Morgana.

“Alright, let’s wait to hear from Anika.”

Every drone they can get. When the stuff starts hitting the fan.

Governments need to be allowed to do their jobs, It annoys them greatly when other people are doing it.

Outside Cyber Protection

Morgana and her crew are only doing what they are paid to do, which is the protection of their clients computer systems. Which is what Morgana did originally, before her and Arthur formed Camelot Network Solutions. If people want to break into her clients computer system, then they deserve what they get from her team.
