Quotes 

• David 'Deacon' Kay : Sweep is complete. Total of six mercs in custody.

  Robert Hicks : That was triple the guard Gang and Narcotics expcected to see when they went in.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : The weapons cash they came to seize isn't here. Seems like the mercs knew a raid was coming.

  David 'Deacon' Kay : Could GND have a leak?

  Robert Hicks : I don't know. I don't know what happened to the drone or the radio.

  Evan Whitlock : Commander, I was inside the system when the glitches started.

  Robert Hicks : So what's going on?

  Evan Whitlock : There is a virus overloading everything. Someone has invaded the system.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : A cyber attack?

  Robert Hicks : LAPD's been hacked.

• Robert Hicks : Whitlock. Appreciate you coming over to take a look at this for us.

  Evan Whitlock : Yeah, it's not a problem, Commander. Uh, the IT request said that you had some data disappear?

  Dominique Luca : Yeah, the armory rotation for the next month. It was there last night, but now the computer's erased it.

  Evan Whitlock : Okay, and you are confident that the officer put the data into the spreadsheet properly? Because, as it turns out, most computer errors are shockingly human errors.

  Dominique Luca : Yeah, I put it in.

  Robert Hicks : Well, he's more a field warrior than a keyboard one, so feel free to check his work.

  Evan Whitlock : All right.

  Robert Hicks : At least this will be more challenging for you than our usual password reset request.

  Evan Whitlock : Well, I like to help out where I can. I'll let you know if I can recover your data.

  Robert Hicks : All right. Keep me updated.

• Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : Cybercrime confirmed the hack?

  Robert Hicks : Yeah. But since Whitlock was already here for IT, I asked him to walk us through the particulars.

  Evan Whitlock : Okay, uh, two days ago, a virus appeared in LAPD's internal network, and as that virus spread, it overloaded databases, causing these glitches. Your lost data situation? You have this hacker thing for that.

  Robert Hicks : Cybercrime said he left a signature, calls himself Shadowboxx. Two Xs.

  Evan Whitlock : Or calls herself or calls themselves. It is statistically himself, but I never want to underestimate anyone.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : Well, whoever this Shadowboxx is, I'm thinking he did more than wreak havoc on our computers. The Mercs knew about that GND raid in advance. Now we learn that LAPD's system's been comprised for 48 hours? It all feels connected.

  Evan Whitlock : Shadowboxx was able to download LAPD data. They had access to operational details, officer assignments, schematics.

  Robert Hicks : That hacker's the leak.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : Handed over the where, when, and how the Gang and Narcotics operation to the Mercs.

  Robert Hicks : How much info did this hacker take from our system?

  Evan Whitlock : I can't say for sure, but I know that it's not limited to one division. The entire system is an open book.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : This ain't over. He's a middleman selling stolen police intel to criminals.

  Robert Hicks : GND walked right into an ambush. Next time, Shadowboxx could publish a detective's home address, making it open season on all cops, on duty or off.

  Evan Whitlock : Cybercrime is working to resecure the network and identify Shadowboxx. It's gonna take them a little bit of time, but they're gonna get him.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : They can't just make us stand by. This hacker's putting every cop in the city at risk.

  Robert Hicks : I don't like to anymore than you do, but Shadowboxx could be on the other side of the world. Our focus needs to be here. LAPD is halting new operations. We need to comb through ongoing missions, find those under the greatest threat, and secure them.

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : Undercovers. Officers who won't be easy to pull from the field. They might not even know their covers are blown.

  Robert Hicks : I know.

  Evan Whitlock : Uh, there's one more thing. Shadowboxx is still active inside the database. This hacker can see everything you access.

  Robert Hicks : See who SWAT's looking into, what we're planning?

  Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson : Which means he can sell it. Make criminals disappear before we can even catch them.

  Robert Hicks : Well, we don't give him anything to see. As of this moment, SWAT is going offline.
