[QUOTE="Radiant, post: 1257733, member: 12018"] January.16.2004 Haven, Isla Verde 12:35 The Pentagon has its own computer network that has only a few tightly controlled connections to the internet (at least that's what I've heard, never tried to crack it...). The best firewalls imaginable guard it but Cypher is simply beyond anything the designers could ever imagine. She glides through the walls like she would be the most usual user the system ever saw.

There is an interesting side note about a team that was sent in to investigate the ruins after the explosion though that looks far more promising.
