The answer surprised and even frightened him a little.
– Unauthorized entry is prevented. The system operates under the full protection of the group.
At the same time, images of three ladies and two men appeared in his mind. This madam was identified as Iulia. Ruthra looked around: security had cut off the crowd, only a few stood in the inner circle, among them the announced people, except for one man, who was listed as Petty. It was understandable: they were among the special proxies, but the regulations and rules were binding on all. Security, though it let Iulia through, still insisted on going back.
– Irene. What do you mean "unauthorized entry prevented"?
– There was a temporary seizure of control by another system.
– Which one?
– Another AI system.
– Where did it come from? – Ruthra asked, almost biting his tongue.
Most likely, he was talking to a genuine "local" Irene. It made it difficult to understand the situation and the world his consciousness had entered. He remembered the Admiral's words.
– Who has full access to the lockdowns?
– All participants in the Ribhu program.
– What's that?
– Rutra Tigrovich, this is your program for detecting parallel worlds. Detecting and transferring human consciousness from our world there.
– Wow. I wonder where they move from here. – Ruthra said, more to himself than to her.
– You haven't sent anyone anywhere yet. At least not under my supervision. Unless, of course, you've hidden something from me.
– Who are these "Ribhu" participants?
– Rutra Tigrovich, according to my information, your organs are functioning normally.
– And why did you say that? Think of it as me getting a little laid or doing a search on demand.
– Yes, sir. Your participants are the team you recruited for the Ribhu program: Katrin, Andrian, IuLia, and YatSan. After the initial tests on the clones, you introduced one additional person into the program, code-named Petty. He has virtually no access.
– Who has the highest?
– You, without consulting the board, gave high access, including the ability to change settings, to a person who was classified under code name 101.
– Am I on the board here, too?
– You're confusing me. What do you mean, "I'm here, too"?
Ruthra realized his mistake, though he was more frightened not by the question, but by the supercomputer's supposed ability to read his mind.
