After the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord was sealed, the search deep within the Evil Swamp Time-Space did not stop.
On the contrary, even more Mechanical Probes were deployed.
This time, however, all the probes had been reconfigured. They no longer linked to one another or transmitted raw data directly to Skynet's main network. Instead, they sent it into independent sealed cores for Saine to screen personally.
Anything deep within the Evil Swamp Time-Space could not be connected to a network lightly.
