"Wake up, NetRunner.If you're reading this, my Ambush Daemon did its job and bought you a temporary backdoor past the NetWatch perimeter, but you have to take the wheel from here.Our target is Project Helios, a locked file containing a new, secret weapon which has been buried deep behind the BlackWall by the large corporations. My sources also speak of it being guarded by rogue AIs capable of locking us out for good and ending our resistance if you trigger the security grid.This is our only shot.To pull off this heist, you need to clear three security phases:1. Bypass the ICE: Find the hidden login password buried inside the security grid.2. Intercept the Frequency: Decode the encrypted audio stream to find the system override key.3. Blind the AI: Outsmart the network logic gates to shut down the digital guards.But get one thing straight, choom: the digital monsters on the other side of that wall don't sleep light. If you hesitate, or if you trip the security grid and wake the AI, your brain is going to fry faster than cheap, bootleg chrome.However, I didn't risk my digital a** to watch you flatline on the first security gate. We believe in you.Now, let's run the code and burn this firewall down."

[SUBNET INFORMATION] // ABOUT ACCESSING THE SECURITY_GRID

[WARNING: READ CAREFULLY]"When you decide to hack into the Security Grid, NetWatch, hackers working for the corporations, will probably try to deploy a defense. They are know for using riddles to verify that the ones entering, are in fact employees.To get inside the system, you must do the following:

Analyze the Riddle: Make sure to read the riddle carefully. Important clues might be hidden inside.
Enter the answer Type your one-word solution (all lowercase) into the terminal in order to get to the next section of the defense.
Time: NetWatch defenses are often timed. Make sure to complete the riddles in time, if you want to stay alive.

OVERRIDE ROUTING INSTRUCTIONS:
The server containing the file you need to download is located behind an AI-created firewall. In order to access the server, you must find a way past it.

Your Helios-Terminal has detected multiple COMPROMISED ports. This can be our way in. Compromised ports have weaknesses, and if we find a way to connect to them, we might be able to use them as a gateway past the firewall.

All ports have a "secret" value associated with them. If you find the correct values from the compromised ports, they can be used as a 4-digit bypass key you can use to connect to the weak ports. However, be aware that such keys often need to be typed in a specific pattern based on the values you aquire.

PROJECT_DAEDALUS HAS BEEN TERMINATED

"The static has cleared. The continental grid infrastructure has dropped back into baseline stabilization limits. Against all mathematical corporate projections, your elite netrunning cell successfully uncoupled the weaponized sentience and severed its satellite proxy arrays before a global cascade could trigger. The Blackwall is silent. You are ghosts."

About the project

Project Helios is an interactive escape room experience aimed at middle school students. The escape room puts the students in a futuristic, cyberpunk scenario, where they have to solve puzzles and challenges in order to get their hands on highly classified files from within the deepest core of a super intelligence within the AI realm known as "The BlackWall".Are you up for the task, or will you wake the AI and feel it's wrath?It's all up to you now, Samurai.
