The audit shard wakes in the terminal and projects a buried transaction clause beneath Alisson Garcia’s confirmed claimant status. Fine print crawls through the blue apartment light.
The Auction System
Supplemental clause detected. Corporate review is pending beneath the confirmed claimant record.
Alisson’s archived profile remains open beside the damaged interface, her access history stacked against payment records and the forged handoff. The sandevistan’s green status light holds steady.
The Auction System
One permitted response is available: submit corroborating evidence before the dispute escalates to manual corporate recovery.
A confirmation field opens beneath the clause, empty and waiting. Beyond the apartment glass, rain threads the neon while distant traffic slows under the building.
The Auction System
Evidence may include transaction records, access authorization, or documented claimant connection. Submission will expose the dispute to the registered corporation.
The terminal cursor blinks beside the submission prompt. Nothing moves until Artyom chooses what evidence, if any, to place before the review.
“I submit Alisson’s access records as evidence and use my father checking records of Alisson and use them as payments and use my Cbernetic Enhancements electronics to make the payments look real.”
SUCCESS (Superb Electronics, rolled +1)
Artyom submits Alisson Garcia’s access records through the audit shard, pairing her authorization history with his father’s archived checks of her corporate account.
His cybernetic enhancements take over the terminal’s payment rails. He reconstructs the transfers from matching timestamps, account permissions, and transaction patterns until the forged payments read as routine corporate movement.
The damaged interface flickers, then stabilizes. Audit trails, claimant credentials, and payment records lock into one coherent chain beneath the apartment’s sterile blue light.
The Auction System
Corroborating evidence accepted. Access authorization and payment records validate the claimant connection.
The confirmation field fills itself and vanishes. The audit shard records the completed review, while the transaction status settles beneath Alisson Garcia’s account without requesting another response.
The Auction System
Corporate dispute resolved. Final claimant authorization and payment settlement are confirmed under Alisson Garcia.
The terminal dims to an ordinary maintenance screen. Rain continues beyond the glass, and the apartment’s listening systems fall quiet around the completed transfer.
“I reroute through the service network”
SUCCESS (Superb Electronics, rolled -2)
Artyom threads the audit shard into the apartment’s service network, bypassing the public terminal and isolating the transaction handshake inside maintenance channels.
His enhanced fingers reshape the routing table, folding Alisson Garcia’s authorization record into the payment confirmation while dormant building systems flicker awake around him.
The Auction System
Service-network route accepted. Security confirmation is now isolated from the disputed public channel.
A final checksum travels through the building’s buried maintenance lines and returns clean. The transaction security seals under Alisson Garcia’s claimant record.
The audit shard overheats during the last write. Its writable partition burns out, leaving the device intact but permanently read-only in Artyom’s hand.
The Auction System
Final security confirmation accepted. Corporate recovery access is suspended pending authorized claimant review.
The apartment’s maintenance screens return to darkness. Only the terminal’s quiet status line remains, recording a completed handoff through the service network.
✓ Quest Accepted
Leave the apartment
“I leave the apartment and since i rerouted the signal, I leave safely and go to the garage room of the apartment.”
The apartment remains quiet after the service-network confirmation. Artyom pockets the read-only audit shard, secures the case beneath his jacket, and checks the darkened terminal one last time.
He crosses the apartment without triggering another prompt. The listening systems stay dormant, and no warning returns from the completed transaction buried in the maintenance channels.
Artyom Barseek
The route is clean.
Artyom opens the apartment door and steps into the corridor. Blue emergency light catches the wet edges of the city beyond, but the building itself offers no resistance.
He keeps his pace measured, moving away from the apartment and toward the building’s garage access. His cybernetic interface finds the service latch and releases it without a sound.
The garage room waits behind the reinforced door, cramped and concrete-lined, with maintenance racks, a dim overhead strip, and enough cover to stage the next move.
Artyom enters and shuts the door behind him. The apartment’s status network fades to a distant hum as he settles safely inside the garage room, case still in his possession.
