Hacking in Protocol: Terminate

Sometimes you need to solve a simple problem — but there are also situations where you have only 3-5 seconds before you’re discovered and must hack something. Feel that chill down your spine? This isn’t just a brainstorming session anymore. You need a cool head — but you’d better hurry before you’re caught.

How do you solve a problem when your life — and those of your teammates — are on the line?

Take a deep breath. Calm down before you tackle the task. Otherwise, you risk dying because you panicked and couldn’t turn the key properly.

Enlist support. Don’t shoulder all the responsibility yourself. If your job is to hack, let your teammates watch for enemies and cover your back. Focus only on what you can control.

If something doesn’t work, don’t blame yourself — just try again. Self-flagellation won’t help. You can always cry about it later. Take a breath, refocus, and give it another shot. Or step aside and let a teammate take over — they might have better luck.
