[ACCESS POINT DETECTED. ESTABLISHING CONNECTION.]
The process was completed after some moments, and the response from the system was instantaneous.
Erik felt a slight buzz in his mind, a telltale sign the supercomputer was interfacing with an external system. He waited.
[CONNECTION ESTABLISHED. LIVE FEED INCOMING.]
Erik's mind was filled with a succession of images resembling scenes from a movie unfolding on a screen.
The feed provided him with a view of the apartment building's interior.
Indeed, the place was fortified with a security system, just as he had suspected. There were cameras placed throughout the building, their lenses capturing every angle, every corner.
His view encompassed the lobby, the hallways, and the elevator, giving him a comprehensive perspective of the surroundings. The entire place was kept under constant surveillance at all times.
<Check for cameras inside the woman's apartment. >
[PROCESS STARTED. SCANNING FOR TARGET APARTMENT.]
The images in Erik's mind shifted, the view moving upwards as the supercomputer worked to show the woman's apartment.
[TARGET APARTMENT LOCATED. SCANNING FOR SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.]
The feed flickers apartment.
[TARGET APARTMENT LOCATED. SCANNING FOR SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.]
The feed flickered again, this time focusing on the woman's apartment. The view was from outside the door, but Erik could see the high-tech security pad next to it, its screen glowing with a soft blue light.
[SURVEILLANCE DEVICES INSIDE THE APARTMENT DETECTED. ESTABLISHING CONNECTION TO CAMERAS.]
Erik felt another buzz in his mind as the supercomputer interfaced with the cameras.
The feed shifted again, this time showing him various angles of the woman's apartment.
Adorned with modern art pieces and plush furniture, the living room was both spacious and elegant.
The kitchen was sleek and high-tech, with state-of-the-art appliances glistening under the overhead lights.
The bedroom was a sanctuary of comfort and luxury, with a king-sized bed and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the city.
But what caught Erik's attention was the absence of life. The apartment was empty. It was devoid of any signs of recent activity. The woman was not there, and it looked like she hadn't been in a while.
[APARTMENT IS CURRENTLY UNOCCUPIED.]
The supercomputer's mechanical voice resonated in Erik's mind, its tone devoid of any emotional inflection.
"Damn it."
Erik hoped to find the woman at home and avoid useless searches through the city that could lead the mercenaries to find him. But the apartment's emptiness threw a wrench in his plans.
<Scan for anything we could use to track her down. >
There had to be something in the apartment. Even if the woman hadn't been there for a while, maybe she left a device connected to her accounts, from which he could infer her general location.
[SCANNING MESSAGES... RECENT ACTIVITY DETECTED.]
The messages were thoroughly sorted by the supercomputer, which boasted an unparalleled processing speed.
Following a brief pause, it conveyed the results of its investigation.
[TARGET IS CURRENTLY MEETING A FRIEND AT ASTERION BOULEVARD, CAELORA CITY.]
Erik's face slowly lit up with a smile. This was what he needed. He had a location, a lead to follow. His mission was back on track. "Perfect," he said to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
