An ace up her sleeve

Sombra disconnected her voice feed to Hana's stream, grumbled under her breath, and opened up another connection. It wasn't technically against the rules to have assistance -- as much as she and D.va had made rules -- but she decided it would be better if no one besides her knew that she had an autonomous drone controlled by a reliable ally on her side.

"Mr. Black, can you read me? This is Purple Skull, I repeat, this is Purple Skull. What's your status?" After a few moments, Mr. Black's voice came through, a bit of worry in his tone.

"Not that I doubt your expertise, but are you certain that the Busan Police Agency won't be able to detect the drone's presence? I doubt they'd be able to trace it back to me, but I'd rather not risk it. Plus, replacing it would come out of my paycheck." Sombra scoffed.

"Worry less about the government and more about winning this match. How's the scanner module I gave you? Anything showing up?"

"Your app is detecting a few dozen routers across town that can't be detected by commercial electronics. I assume that's what you're looking for?"

"Perfect. Send me their IP addresses and then get out of sight."

It was common knowledge that, before South Korea started using human-piloted mechs for their anti-giant-robot ****, they had a network of militarized drones. The drones were phased out after their enemy figured out how to disrupt the network, but rumor had it that the network was never shut down entirely, only disabled. And that a sufficiently talented hacker could figure out how to reactivate them. All she had to do was figure out how to hack top-level government security, amplify the signal remotely, and make sure that no one could undo her work until it was too late. All while keeping up some chatter with Hana so she doesn't get suspicious.

It was virtually impossible, especially in less than two hours, but that didn't stop Sombra. Minutes ticked way as she broke through encryption layer after encryption layer. Finally, she had enough control of the network to access one mech...at the cost of forty-five minutes. She'd have to choose her weapon carefully.
