Agent in the Dark

The silence that followed was interrupted by a question, "Won't the Code immediately recognize the change to it and return itself to its own language?"

"What change? The Code itself is unchanged, only the means by which it is read is different. When the Code is updated then yes it will revert to its own language. The Code is independent across the entire network, but it receives its updates from one central hub. If we can infiltrate that hub, change the language of the Code and then destroy that hub station we will have a virtual lockout of the Code, as long as they can't crack the language that we have transcribed the Code over into."

People looked among themselves as hope and understanding began to dawn upon them. A voice called out from one of the screens, "During the operation then we will be in the dark as far as communication goes, as well, right?" A general asked in heavily accented English.

"Not at all. Far from it actually, because we will know the language the Code is displayed in. We will be free to use the Code itself to coordinate our attacks on the Code installations and its allies, as long as the Code remains a viable signal. Should we succeed enough against the Code's mainframe that it should fall along with its signal then yes we would all be in the dark, but we would have achieved our goal at that point of shutting the Code down so it wouldn't matter."

"How will we read the Code if it's scrambled?" Another asked from a different screen.

"I have prepared data inscription protocols, which have already been dispersed out to all of you, which will decipher the Code for you into the languages that best suit all the nationalities of speech gathered together for this military strike." Asia said confidently.

"Who is to be tasked with the uploading of the language and the destruction of this central data hub?" A South American General asked.

Chantry spoke up, "I have committed my entire Agency to the task, we will be assisted by Special Forces from several nations, all of which are already in place and ready to strike. The signal to commence the global attack will be when the Code language changes and the attack will not be stopped, until victory is achieved over this device of evil men. If we should not be successful in capturing the hub and destroying it, the language encryption will be uploaded from a satellite site, but we will only have two hours globally to press the attack, until the Code updates itself and reintegrates back into its former language. We might not have the ability to change the language again with the Code people actively working against us."
