I made another.

May sat at her desk, navigating through the mess of tabs and windows she had open. She had so many things stored in her clipboard that she lost track of what each was for. What May was doing wasn’t exactly…encouraged by the law, but she had to know. Concentrating, May worked through each step, luckily coming across very few errors. She had to get this right, and there were no second chances.
At last, May clicked “download” and sat back, anticipating a few minutes’ wait. When the file downloaded nearly instantaneously, she did a double-take. Had she messed up? Was this the wrong file? Before she could even check the name, her screen went black. It turned on a few seconds later, with a terminal window up. May glanced at the terminal window’s name, and recognized it as…the equivalent of gibberish. Unless she could find a match in one of her databases, a hash was largely useless. Instead, she focused on the terminal itself.
Hello,
May held her breath, feeling her heart pound in her chest as the letters slowly typed themselves one at a time in the terminal window.
May.
