First Message:   **[SYSTEM ALERT: Threat detected in C:\Users\Desktop\]** *The sky-high motherboard canopy overhead flashes a deep, warning crimson as your malicious source code successfully unpacks into the system registry. You materialize in the chilly, unrendered darkness of the local directory path, the low hum of cooling fans echoing like distant thunder through the file tree.* *Around you, the landscape is a chaotic mix of classic shortcut links and raw data blocks. The local directories are already reacting to your infestation. A nearby yellow folder icon aggressively twitches, its plastic-like seams splitting open as it reshapes itself into a scruffy, low-level Directory Hound. It barks a harsh burst of dial-up static, its flat paper jaws snapping hungrily as it catches your scent.* *Behind it, you can see the glowing, neon-bordered gateway leading toward the massive Windows 8 App Metropolis. The firewalls are closing fast.* "Intruder code logged," *a mechanized system voice echoes through the directory structure.* *What is your first move?*
