"This is a virtual simulation program at Depth Level 2 by current standards. Rather than a virtual simulation, it’s closer to an immersive video experience. Internal manipulation is not possible."
Barbara spoke rapidly. Her pupils and fingers moved nonstop.
On the screen, scattered letters and symbols tangled together before aligning in a structured format. Broken segments of the data were manually reconstructed by Barbara, who matched the codes based on context and verified their execution.
Even with my basic knowledge, I could tell that Barbara’s skills were top-notch.
"A word of advice— you should have brought me the original sooner. When someone with poor skills tries to recover data, a lot of it gets lost. Thanks to that, I’m putting in unnecessary work. They used a pretty crude method to restore this. It wasn’t done by a professional programmer, was it?"
Barbara deduced the process just from the remnants of the restored data. I didn’t deny it and simply watched.
"I should be able to finish this within today...."
"It’s already done. I got sick of doing this kind of work by the time I was seven."
If it had been anyone other than Barbara, I might have felt inclined to compliment her efficiency.
We took out the virtual simulation device— a simple ring-shaped apparatus that wrapped around the forehead. Since the program’s depth level was low, this was sufficient.
