Binary code Mystery number three - стр. 31

– Yeah. (chuckles)

– And no one but us is getting data from it?

– Uh, no.

– And Hent's block?

– Only through our server.

– Directly?

– Directly.

– Who, other than us, maintains control of this data?

– The protocols are analyzed by a control system off the station. It's run directly by Hent.

– Off-station how? Is it the audit department that Hent directly reports to?

– Not exactly a department. Data, incoming and outgoing, goes through the registration and authorization unit.

– Where is it located?

– I think it is only in your competence or exactly in Hent's competence. Only after revisionary processing is the data put to work, allowed to be edited and analyzed. It's the same way back.

– What is the name of this registration and authorization unit?

– That's what it's called.

– And has it always been like this, before my appointment and after?

– Yes, and before you came here. As far as I know, it's always been like that. No one paid attention to it, no one was interested. What do you see in it, Rutra Tigrovich? There must be control, right?

– Control? We seem to be in control of everyone! Or do we?

– Rutra Tigrovich, do you have any questions for me? – The professor asked.

– You have outlined the situation in general, but not in specifics. What really awaits us if this scenario comes true? Will the Urals region, for example, survive?

– The waves won't get there, of course, but maybe even those volcanoes will wake up. The atmosphere will be ruined everywhere.

– Rutra Tigrovich, any questions about the machine processing data? -Kristina's voice began to tremble a little.

Apparently the professor wasn't the only one now realizing the consequences.

– Check. What is the height and threshold of the waves' destructive action?

– The machine gives out different variants, with the most powerful one – they will reach the Caucasus, – answered Christina and looked fearfully into the written on the screen.

Everyone in the hall was silent, realizing what they had heard.

– Waves aren't the worst, earthquakes and volcanoes are the worst," came the professor's quiet voice.

Everyone continued to remain silent.

– Christina, how does this registration and permitting unit respond to this kind of data? Does it issue any recommendations, prohibitions?

– Recommendations.

– Like what?

– Exactly that, consider this option. So to speak, just in case, what happens if, uh.

– If anything?

– If anything goes wrong.

– I need to discuss this with Hent, we may be missing something.

– That's right," the professor said loudly. – This is where we should have started. A very good decision.
