Elias bypassed the security firewalls and looked into the "black box" of the buffer. He expected to see a DDoS attack or a massive file dump. Instead, he saw a live feed.

Elias reached for the kill switch, but his hand froze. A new notification popped up on his personal terminal, sent from the heart of the network: Out of Space over the network
