After Elias Lennox verified his identity, he returned to his private dorm room at DAF. He quickly opened his laptop, bypassed Veridia's network surveillance, and logged into a specific web portal.
He immediately typed his username, YL, into the input field, followed by a complex password.
Immediately after, the computer prompted for an iris scan. Elias Lennox lowered his head, removed his contact lens, and widened his amber right eye to face the scanner.
"Verification successful!"
A very minimalist website soon appeared on the screen.
The top-left corner displayed a string of foreign letters that translated to: The International Mercenary Alliance.
He imported a photo from his phone into a search database, but a line of text immediately popped up: S-level secret, access denied.
"How interesting!"
He tried a few more methods but still couldn't breach the database. Instead, he was detected by its defense system, which activated its countermeasures.
