The surveillance footage kept looping the same scene over and over. Curtis had thought he'd crack the code in two minutes, but he was running behind schedule and hadn't managed to get the disrupted surveillance back on track.

When Mirabella's voice cut through his focus, he felt a bit sheepish but immediately stood up, calling out, "Ms. Mirabella," and stepped aside. "There's this interference signal I can't seem to crack right now."

Mirabella had already turned her gaze elsewhere and simply said, "Let me give it a shot."
