Segal shadow-boxes across from Maggie, who is attempting to access the Arena's intranet on her tablet.]

Segal: Any luck, Mag?

Maggie: Not really. I'm having a harder time than I should. The Site's AI isn't responding to any of my requests - and I think it's actively working against me.

Adrian: Isn't that a typical breach response?

Maggie: It would be, if we didn't already possess the proper credentials.

Russell: Well, whatever happened here probably tripped every emergency countermeasure, so I wouldn't fault the paranoid android.

Adrian: You guys think… do you think it took care of all the sharks on-site?

Russell: The personnel? [scoffs] Definitely. Arena-81 has the highest ratio of spring-loaded-boxing-glove traps per square-foot out of every Arena in the Centre. They'd be tenderized before they knew what hit them!

The team moves into the front offices.]

Russell: Odd.

Adrian: Everything's so clean still.

Russell: Place should be shark-viscera city

Segal: Maybe this place was empty when whatever it was hit.

Russell: Maybe. Maggie, any luck getting in?

Maggie: Negative. Jarvis seems to be fighting me still.

[...]

[Maggie's tablet produces a high-pitched "meep!", distracting the Agents.]

Maggie: [Removes the tablet from her belt, begins typing.] Hey! Adrian must have gotten us in. Let's see…huh. This is odd.

Russell: What's that?

Maggie: It appears that, well, none of the emergency countermeasures were triggered.
