"I'm really an idiot. I thought these damn viruses could only hack their way in at worst, maybe rebuild the virtual-space ecosystem. I never imagined these bastards could even forcibly convert the source-code layer..."
"You think you're taking part in some ordinary war? This is a war between civilizations. Did you really think the enemy only had troop-spawning as a method?"
Hearing the Brain Blaster's bitter muttering, the old fortress expert inside Arasaka Tower calmly replied.
"I—"

After routing the enemy's virus army, he would then rely on the electronic viruses and AI killers he had hidden in various virtual nodes across cyberspace, along with the Skynet killers sent over by headquarters, to resist them step by step.
