Pensatore: "That's nothing really special, as bigger a machine get as longer you need to maintain and to upgrade it. [http://phys.org/news/2014-07-large-hadron-collider.html Our colleges at CERN] can tell one thing or two about it. The difficulty with AVATARA is to split simulations on multiple, geografically far apart clusters and let it run reliable. Before AVATARA's official restart there will be tests to ensure everything will be alright. This includes also AVATARA's new autonomy protocolls. We will pretend complications in order to run more tests. These are your actual Daodan simulation. This way you will get about one month computing time. No more, so you better use your time wisely."

Mukade forsees the missing results of the extra tests and uses the TITAN network to generate fake data, scaled and polished. "Pensatore, you expected our all little secret to be busted. But you aren't the only one that has a decent understanding of computers and networks."

:: ''When the new geopolitical order of the World Coalition Government was instituted many technologies were identified as dangerous to world stability and were banned or reserved to restricted access. The Network survived the chaos of the world riots by establishing and maintaining a reliable '''technological black market'''.''
