All the mosque files are encrypted. Like... crazy encrypted. Shouldn't they be? Yeah, if they're up to some real shady shit. All right, I'm gonna have to work some magic if I'm gonna have any chance of phishing the quantum network and converging the endpoint protection platforms to unlock this data.

Agent Vietti. Why am I looking at an empty desk? I'm sorry. You know that mosque? I think I found some information. The one I specifically told you to stay away from? - Well, yeah. I know, but... - You disobeyed a direct order. You placed a highly classified operation in jeopardy.
