[The patriarch nods, not understanding the whole deal but trusting Aether to take care of it. It seems, that he might be the only person he can trust to do this now, since a mole existed in their family somewhere. Ajax thinks for a moment, before turning to Lorenz. He trusts Lorenz, always has. He doesn't want to believe it's him.]

I don't think our mole here is Lorenz. He was the one that raised the issue, exposing the problem in the system, from what I understand. If he hadn't done that, everything would have been going smoothly for the Dufonts, like they have been for several months. So I think we can trust him. Lorenz, can you make a complete copy of the system for Aether so he can work on this offline? We can't afford to be found if an IP address will give our location away.

[The other man nods.

Child's play. I'll have a copy of it ready before you leave.]

Good. Aether, figuring this out should bring us one step closer to returning our lives to some semblance of normal. And our family would forever be in your debt if you can help us. Right, father?

[Ajax looks to him, his eyebrows raised; he better treat Aether really, really well after this is all said and done, provided they survive.

Don't give me that look. Of course. Now that I better understand our problem...I'll see to it that you and your sister will be well taken care of.

Ajax nods, sighing as he runs his hand through his hair.]

Alright. Then for now, let's take a moment to relax while Lorenz prepares the software for us; I could use a drink or two.
