Suspicious Transmission

They had just started the afternoon's movement tests when more visitors came to interrupt their day. 

"Lieutenant Bean, kindly pause all testing activity. The servers have logged an unauthorized communication from this location and we are required to investigate." A Major from the lab's Military Police directed, accompanied by no fewer than twenty other officers, including specialists from the Anti-hacking team. 

"You idiots had better not have been on social media at work." Lieutenant Bean complained, and Moonie began to panic. 

Strictly speaking, this wasn't her workstation and she wasn't supposed to be in the Mecha during testing. Max didn't look worried though, so she began to relax a little. Unlike her specialist rank of Lance Corporal, Max was a Major and a Pilot. He could get away with some little breaches of the standard protocol using personal initiative as an excuse. The enlisted personnel didn't often get that luxury.
