Carl sipped the coffee, eyes narrowed upon the information. It was so easy he almost didn't believe it. In fact. He didn't.
"It has to be an imposter." Someone setting up Phaser to be the perpetrator. For one thing, he'd never heard of Phaser dipping into government affairs. Definitely nothing like this before. If Phaser was even real. Some of the guys in their world said he was AI- others claimed he was a man. Carl was never sure either way, as either truth would be remarkable. He had to find out if Phaser was really behind this.
He pulled up the Consulate's digital forensics suite software, Prodrome. Using it, he was able to route to the hospital security accounts. The Consulate already opened the connection. It was as easy as logging in as an admin.
Once inside, he did a search cross referencing the time stamp on the images of Ascendancy on his way to surgery with files that logged a full TCP connection. If Phaser was really doing this hack, he never would have allowed himself to connect fully with his target. It was too easily traceable. A full TCP scan would have alerted security administrators almost immediately. So Carl doubted that to be the case as there was no record of admin being alerted of a breech.
That meant the hospital's intrusion detection system had to be thwarted. That meant, Phaser needed to run a stealth scan at a speed that was below the threshold for detection. Phaser was more than capable of pulling that off.
