110:I started my search on the CD side of town. I was edgy.
400:Something about this case stank like a can of catfood at a dead flounder convention.
680:Vic Virus was too much of a clown to go after big game like Port. Not on his own, anyway.
1050:This case was a few hubs short of a stack, but the answers couldn't be far off.
1400:You're gettin' sloppy HardDrive. If I was a snake, I woulda' bit ya.
1660:Gosh, Virus, I guess I'm lucky you're a worm.
1870:Oh, it is to laugh. I wonder if Port would find you as funny as I do?
2170:Alright, Magilla, spill the bytes. Whaddayou know about Cyril Port?
2420:Moi? I know dat EtherExpress PRO/100 LAN Adapter of his is some really nice technology. Real nice - I mean, the way dat it is now,
2980:ya know, it's not on fire or nothin'. It'd be a real shame if somethin' was to happen to really nice technology like dat PRO/100.
3440:Yeah, whatever. Look, Spanky, I don't have time for your lip.
3700:Oh, you got time, HardDrive. You got the rest of your life...all 5 nanoseconds of it!
4140:Virus had gone polymorphic, changing faster than a candystriper on bedpan patrol.
4650:I'd only get one chance to stop him. A chance named LANDesk Virus Protect.
5010:Say "good night," Vic.
5110:Say! What gives?
5250:Do not attempt to adjust your television set...
5440:HardDrive! This ain't funny, HardDrive!
5560:...you've just been whacked by a LANDesk Virus Protect Integrity Shield, that, after administering a clean file sweep,...
5880:Don't make me angry, HardDrive! Do NOT make me angry!
5950:....is designed to locate and isolate undesirable programs such as, say, your ugly self,
6240:preventing the perpetrator from infecting and corrupting desirable programs such as, say, me.
6540:HARDDRIVE!! YOU LET ME OUTTA HERE OR I'M GONNA DIP YOU IN CHEESE AND USE YOU LIKE A CHEWTOY!!!
6870:Ooh, sounds like somebody needs a nap.
7060:AAARRRR!!!!! Alright, alright, what do you want? What? You want to know about Port, is that it?
7410:Sing for me, tweety.
7520:You know me. Port ain't my style. I nabbed the labcoat for Mr. Pig. It's all about that big bandwidth thing.
7930:I'm telling you, man, it was the Pig all along.
8080:Mr. Pig. The biggest, fattest application in all LANtropolis. If that bandwidth hog was involved, this case was on the express train to Uglytown.
8720:Where's the bloatware now?
8840:Don't know. He said somethin' about crashin' a party or somethin.
9090:A party, huh?
9150:That's all I know. So c'mon, HardDrive. I'll be your best friend. Let me outta here, huh?
9460:No dice, Vickey. The Integrity Shield is strictly a one way ticket to the hard yard.
9770:Mutate all day, but unless there's an opening for a caged monkey at the zoo, you ain't going nowhere.
10190:HARDDRIVE! I'M GONNA SHAVE YOU LIKE A POODLE!
10420:Yeah, whatever.
10570:Virus was yesterday's news, but now Mr. Pig was front page. On any other day, I might have had to break a sweat to find the Pig.
11030:But Virus' little song and dance had given me a hunch like a bellringer. A hunch that sounded a lot like "Central Server."
