DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH Chapter 195: The Unbroken Shield
Chapter 195: The Unbroken ShieldThe generators deep in the mountain made a low humming noise that felt like the mountain's own heartbeat. This noise vibrated through the granite walls. The main vault was thirty feet below the surface. It was completely sealed. The white light from the servers reflected off the heavy titanium rods that went from the floor to the ceiling. This created shadows across the dark floor.Elena stood at the computer terminal. She wore a velvet wrap that fell to her ankles. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders in waves. It caught the glow of the monitoring screens. Her long fingers hovered over the system log. She was running a check that she did every night."The outside network is completely cut off, " Elena said quietly. Her voice was smooth and low. A big shadow fell across her screen. She did not look back. "The Zurich network has closed its connections. If someone tries to break into our communication system the encryption key will scramble the data bef
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH Chapter 194: The Internal Core
Chapter 194: The Internal CoreThe sound of the secondary security bulkheads closing was really loud. It was like a big metal click that echoed through the level. This sound meant that the area was now sealed off from the outside. The ventilation shafts were shut off. There was complete silence. The Vane Foundations primary vault was thirty feet below rock so it was very quiet. The silence felt really heavy like a weight. It was like being in a world far away from the bad weather outside in the Hudson Valley.The air in the server room was cool and clean. The temperature was controlled by machines from Switzerland that were not connected to the internet. These machines kept the air at the right temperature. The only light came from the rows of servers, which had blue and green lights on them. These lights made shadows on the rough stone walls.Elena stood in front of the computer terminal. She was tall and slender. Her dark hair fell down her back like a waterfall. She was wearing a s
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH Chapter 193: The Underground Grid
Chapter 193: The Underground GridThe Tuesday morning deployment was like a precise military operation. By 07:00 hours the transport helicopters had already flown over the lower valley pass. They went around the snow-covered mountain roads. Dropped three big crates of copper relays made in Switzerland right onto the concrete cap.The air on the plateau was cold and sharp.. Thirty feet below in the secondary tier of the vault facility the climate control systems were already working. The air was dry and smelled like electrical solder and plastic. It also smelled like the hardware crates that had just been opened.Elena stood at the central monitoring console. She was wearing a wool turtleneck that fit tightly around her shoulders. Her dark hair was pinned up. Her dark eyes were watching the voltage curves on the master diagnostic display. Marcus's engineering units were putting the offline relays into the server racks."The internal grid is working at 400 hertz, " Elena said quietly. H
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH Chapter 192: The Permanent Record
Chapter 192: The Permanent RecordThe radar screens in the bunker stopped working one by one. Now the security arrays were only using thermal tracking. Across the ridge the big halogen work towers were cooling down. This made the excavation site very quiet. The white concrete cap was flat and unbroken under the starlight. It covered sixty feet of titanium structure below.Inside the quarters the diagnostic terminal was humming quietly.Elena was still against Julian's chest. Her body was between his thighs as he sat on the platform berth. The light from the server window showed the curve of her back where her silk camisole had fallen loose. She had not looked back at the intercom console since Marcus said the legal team was retreating. The threat was not just gone it was buried under a lot of infrastructure."The Albany filing is completely gone from the state registry logs " Elena said softly. Her voice was warm and scratchy against Julian's collarbone. She was holding her tactical p
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH Chapter 191: The Structural Lockout
Chapter 191: The Structural LockoutThe echoes of the Geneva filing were still felt in the markets but inside the command quarters on the ridge it was completely quiet. The state court discovery motion had ended. There were no more legal ways to go against the foundation registry. Outside winter had arrived in the mountains. It was very cold and still. The big granite plateau was like a fortress made of white and grey stone.Inside the executive suite the atmosphere was not good. It was dark and quiet. Nobody could get in or out.Elena was standing by a glass wall that separated the sleeping area from the main computer. She was not wearing her suit jacket, a black top and dark pants. Her hair was down. Her dark eyes were fixed on the computer lights.The Swiss injunction was. The outside computers were turning off one by one. The foundation was moving all its operations to a core deep inside the mountain.Julian came up behind Elena. He was a man, over six feet tall and he blocked out
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH Chapter 190: The Geneva Retaliation
Chapter 190: The Geneva RetaliationThe counter-strike was very precise. It hit the financial sectors of Western Europe at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon. This was time.While Sterling's firm in Albany was still happy about their discovery motion, the foundation's legal division in Geneva did something big. They made a three-hundred-page claim with a devastating finality.Inside the command trailer on the ridge the primary drafting table was no longer cluttered with blueprints. The subpoena papers were. They lay beneath the heavy silver fountain pen. The legal weight of these papers was completely neutralized by the red columns of the European market indices on Elena's screen.Elena sat cross-legged in the backed steel chair. Her fingers were flying across the glass interface of her terminal with a diagnostic movement. She had changed into a tailored suit jacket over her black silk camisole. Her hair was pinned up once more into that flawless and impenetrable executive style.He
