Random Chinese Ministry Bathroom Or Office. I think. I really have no idea what this room is or where it's located. Really. Syd enters quickly and locks the door. So I guess it isn't a bathroom. If it is, then there's gonna be hell to pay when someone has to pee. So, anyway, Syd slips out of her party dress and reveals a skintight sleeveless black catsuit. She shoves her dress under a desk or counter or something, and unfortunately, her hair is still sort of a disaster. I kind of like it, because it's messy and stuff, but it sure as hell ain't sleek. Syd gets on the horn and tells Marshall she's going in. Dix answers and tells her that the security systems are offline and she's cleared for entry. He reminds her to keep her face covered because she can't afford to be recognized. Syd pulls a skintight black facemask over her head so that only her eyes are visible. She's going with the ninja girl look here.
She exits whatever room she's in and moves into what is obviously the Chinese minister's office. She places her "cell phone" unit down on a desk and moves toward a cabinet that's against the wall. She checks the perimeter of the doors for explosive devices and finds none, then presses the inner corners of the doors and they pop open, just like any good media center doors purchased from Tar-Jay should. She opens the doors fully, revealing a safe within, and places a clock-like device on top of the lock mechanism. She presses a button, and the device unlocks the safe.
Syd opens the safe and checks for sensors within. She finds none. Inside the safe is a big gray case. Syd removes it and places it on the desk behind her. She opens the case and finds the maser unit. She pulls it out and disassembles the operational area. Then she grabs her "cell phone" unit and removes the back. Then she takes that little chip thing that's supposed to copy the corrupt OS out of the "phone" and places the "phone" itself into the maser. She hits "1" and tells Marshall that an uplink has been established. Marshall tells her to give him two seconds to corrupt the code.
Whew. That was one long-ass technogeek scene there. I'm spent. Sammy Rock? Can you get in here and rub Ms. Thang's shoulders? I'm all sorts of tense in here. What? What was that? What do you mean you're taking a soothing lavender spa bath? You're supposed to be looking after ME. I'm the one who's WORKING HERE. All you're doing is…oh. You're naked. And waiting for me. Hmm. Yeah. The recap can wait. Sigh. Splash. Mmmm…
Ahem. Suddenly, in the Security office, the guards regain momentary access to the security system. Their monitors flash a brief glimpse of Syd in the minister's office doing her dirty work. Marshall's all, uh-oh. Dixon's all, what in the fuck do you mean, "Uh-oh?" Marshall's all, um, I don't know how they did it, but they got their damn security system online again. Dix is all, can you get it back offline? Marshall's all, gimme two secs, okay? Two secs too late, Marshall. The security guards are heading towards Sydney. Dix gets on the horn and tells her she may have been compromised. "May have been"? WERE, okay? The guards are coming to her with guns fully loaded. There's really no "may have" about it.
