Someone messed up...there's two things wrong here. A. Loal doesn't have a sister. B. The Programmer allegedly affiliating with Arumon was in the building at the time of the shooting, according to new surveilance footage.
Kite looked at the MMI he had personally installed in his car, he hit a few buttons and in minutes he had a route planned through navigation, "First the office, then i'll go after Loal...."

"I have no idea..." Ven sighed, resting his head again, this time on his two clasped palms.
"I'll be online tomorrow. My physical state in the real world shouldn't hinder me all that much in Ymaggion..." The teenager sighed, deep in thought, a rarity compared to his normal attitude.
"I wanna begin hunting for him tomorrow...not necessarily in an attempt to delete him, but I wanna know why he chose me, of all staffers. An ex-programmer of one of the most popular online games in the world...he had the resources to come after any one of us, right?"

OOC: Hah!
"I wouldn't be surprised if he came after you, Ven, simply because you would be the easiest to attack and the most vulnerable. My guess would be that Shade might be his next target, though he hasn't been logging on for quite some time now, so it's hard to say. Either way, we all need to be on our guard. It might be prudent to keep Sora relatively low profile once in the system. If this person realizes your character is still active, he might figure out he didn't finish the job as well as he would have liked. Speaking of which, I'd better be getting out of here pretty quick, get things worked out with the law and such. As I said, I'll be back tomarrow and make sure all the equipment is set up and such."
John straightened himself to his full height and buttoned up his coat all the way, "Stay safe, you two."

"See'ya, John," Sarah said as her colleague left the room. Turning slightly, the woman walked up to a window and parted the blinds with two fingers, looking out to check on the weather. Looked like it was still going strong, unfortunately, and sighed. "The weather is crap tonight," she said, "No idea when I'll be able to head out."
Looking over at Ven, she asked, "Let me ask you something. I know you weren't elected to be an Administrator when Skye was kicked out, but have you ever had any interaction with him before? Said or did something around him that might've raised the alarm for Arumon?"

Ven sat still for a moment, poking a finger to his head in an attempt to think.
"Skye...Skye...." His eyes, closed in thought, immediately burst open.
"Skye! I remember seeing that name in a hallway display at the Buena Vista studios once, before they elected me to administrate Ymaggion...but it was a long time ago, I remember it was my dad who took me."

"At Buena Vista?" Sarah said, a bit surprised. "So... he was an employee there?"
She sat down in a chair, hanging her head slightly in thought. We had him as a programmer for the game, and he was the one who developed and perfected Program 000. And if he worked for Buena Vista...
She voiced the first conclusion that popped into her head.
"... then perhaps he was in line to be an Administrator."

"So...I took his spot in administration?....That definately gives him a motive."
Ven thought for a moment, trying to tie in more connections to Buena Vista and the would-be-killer. "That could also explain why Arumon could use the keyblade. I'm sure, as an administrator, he could have written his own character code, similar to my current one."

"Yeah, definitely," Sarah agreed, "If he could create the basis for the NPC program directive, character coding would be no hard feat for him."
She sighed. Looks like she'd have to contact the company to let them know about this. "Look, I have to go make another call to let the guys back at the department know about this. Will you be alright if I left you alone for a moment?"

"Hah! I can take a bullet in the middle of New York. If you can handle that, you can handle anything." Ven smiled to the only visitor left in his room.
"Right, since I techincally 'work' at Buena Vista, I'll also try and get passes into the game studios for everyone ASAP."

Sarah smiled and shook her head. "Don't get too cocky, kid. I'll be back in a few."
The Nintendo Administrator left the room, reaching up and rubbing her temples. She was getting a headache; too many problems cropping up. They'd just got finished defeating 003 Omega and four other of the Sons of Darkness, with four still on the loose, and then Program 000 breaks free and starts a rampage. They were losing control of the system, just like Blane's team back in the days of the Epsilon Project.
Once she arrived at the desk, she tiredly asked for a phone again, apologizing to the attendant on duty. She quickly dialed up the company, and waited for an answer.

Kite had arrived up at the Ymaggion corp. building, he quickly progressed to his office and picked up his Macbook Pro, He shut and locked the door with all 5 locks on it and closed the window shades, then he started typing,"Let's see, protocols...proxies...There it is..." He quickly found the video footage from the rumble in the desert he had with Arumon,"Let's see...find that program he ran..." Kite found in the log that Arumon used a programmed tech that was made with one line of code,"... There!"
He quickly grabbed his cell and dialed up Ven,"Hurry up and pick up!"

Just as the teenager finally had the time to lay down, his phone started ringing. Ven grumled, but in the end picked up his phone, and flipped the lid open.
"Yes? What is it?"

"I may have found a way to track this guy. Arumon's attacks all have an ending signature that corresponds with the server he is on, Africa, America, all that jazz. He hasn't figured out how to fully mask it yet, and here's the best part. He's active right now somewhere within the Local area of the server. Arumon hasn't left L.A., so chances are his human minions haven't exactly either. I'm tracking it to a suburb on the northern side of town. I'm going to head over in that direction and chase the signal, I need you to grab some forces and stall Arumon from going outside of the L.A. section. Wait, what the hell...?" Kite looked at his screen and saw many dots and zones becoming highlighted on the map,"He's using proxies...look kid, i'm going to give the other staff a call and see if I can get a hand, just try to stall Arumon for me."
Without waiting for a response Kite ended the call and hurried back out to his car, locked the doors and sped out of the parking lot towards the first location.

The teenager sighed as he closed the lid on his phone.
"Yeah, except you know, I don't have any access to game equipment to stall him, not to mention I'm gonna have to make a fake character ID..."
