Mooncross Industries

Here now follows an extra part to ...of Heroes and the Misunderstood, an ongoing Six Sentence serial co-written by myself and  Clark from the Wakefield Doctrine. 

Einar Baldurson walked confidently into the core complex of the Mooncross Industries Tunglfjőrður facility (known to everyone as the Reykjavik worldwide operations centre) and entered his personal password to access the Human Resources offices. Helga Arondottir looked up as he entered, ‘the facility in London is ablaze,’ she spoke sombrely, adjusting her square-rimmed spectacles, ‘our contact in the United Kingdom’s GCHQ London branch advises it is totally destroyed, although Alex in IT Systems managed to cut our datafeed from here which triggered the self-cleanse shutdown on London’s servers… our data is intact.’

‘And the personnel,’ Einar spoke whilst he read one of Helga’s emails over her shoulder, ‘any news on them?’

‘No news there,’ Helga replied quietly as she made a few mouse clicks to open another email for Einar to read: Sora and Szarbo en route with Blake, estimated flight time three hours, be aware things are NOT going to plan, CSL.

The door to the HR office opened again, and the head of IT Systems, Alex Jokullson walked in tapping frantically at his tablet before sitting at an empty desk, powering up the computer terminal there. ‘We’ve been infected with a virus,’ he said, noticing Helga and Einar looking over at him, ‘I’m trying to stop it shutting us down completely, but it’s taking us down server by server.’
