Sandra infiltrates the sea platform alone. The environment is her enemy: flickering lights, echoing corridors, and a thousand humming server racks. For anyone else, it's a haunted house. For Sandra, The Cascade becomes a cacophony of screaming data. Every error log is a wail. Every corrupted file is a scar.
