Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 6 - Meandering Pathways ❯ Chapter 7

Chapter 7

The Internet is a truly amazing thing. Terabytes of data per second flowing all across the Earth, seeming like utter chaos. Each file, each packet, each bit all flowing according to a pattern. It can be said that it's the biggest artistic expression ever. Everyone on the Internet contributing his or her piece of the great tapestry, that will never ever be the same twice.

At this moment, several ordered packets are swimming their way across the great expanse. MAC addresses reshuffled as the packets are passed from router to router, some bounce of satellite relays, some cross the seabed on thin strands of glass depending on which was least busy that nanosecond. Each router forwards the packets toward the final destination as marked by the IP address. There is nothing special about these packets, and who knows what they contain? They flow with the billions and billions of others in an endless stream. They finally find their way into an SMTP server, which means they must be a form of email, but the size means a rather large attachment.

That morning a few people along with millions more sign on to the Internet, either dial-up, DSL, cable, fibre, or satellite, to check their email. Eight specifically chosen destinations all receive the large email and it's MP3 attachment. They are the leaders of the other eight Guardian chapters around the world. When double-clicked, the file begins playing Kovin's voice.

Hello everyone. I'm afraid I have bad news for you, and that is that the Alpha Guardians have disbanded indefinitely. We will try operating separately and try the best we can to come back together. Until that time count the Alphas out of any plans. I'm passing command to Martin and the Zetas in New York for the time being who will be training the new Omega group.

I'm sorry this has to happen, but it does have to happen. Please everyone, keep your eyes and ears open. Something is happening out there and we have no idea what as yet. Hopefully the seven of us will learn something if temporarily removed. I'll keep you all posted.

Your orders for now are keep doing what you've already been doing, but do it carefully. Cover your tracks and triple-check everything. Consider it a global yellow-alert.

Good luck, and good hunting.
