"Molly grinned and hummed a happy tune as she focused on the task she was doing. The monitor behind her hummed, reminding her that she was still at work. But she did not let it distract her from the fact that she was so close to her goal.
She…no, they had started to increase the pressure on Rin. He already had a majority of the system's core, but only a few more parts were left before he would be ripe enough to be absorbed.
"Now, the only problem is the other researchers. With Karina gone, they are even more alert. Mrs. Audit is especially ferocious and lingering far too close to me for my comfort."
Molly complained to the system, but it did not reply to her. But that was fine, because simply being close to the system made Molly feel better.
"Anyway, I should start directing Rin toward Mrs. Audit next and clear her out. I should also begin being generous with Rin and reward him with more cores. After all, the more he has, the more connected he will become to you, my dear."
