Cracking The Nut: Part 2

This is Part 4 of my "The Nut" series.

I awake in my safe spot to the sun beating down on me. It's a beautiful sight indeed. But I have no time for beauty... Time to get on with Operation Nutcracker.

I emerge from my safe spot, half expecting to be surrounded by guards... No one has caught me, time to move on.

I make my way to a room housing servers. A quick look at file manifests shows that there is no malware on the servers. But if I can disable them, it might draw guards over and therefore will lessen my chances of being found.

I sabotage the A/C system in the server room. How ironic, a $100,000 A/C array rendered useless by a 10 cent paperclip.

A guard walks by the same computer I used to check the manifest. I am able to subdue him with my taser.
His radio starts beeping... time to act like a Russian again.

Me: "Dispatch, I am reporting a Code Number 2. Vlad destroyed the bathroom...again."

Dispatch: "Sure, please hold on."
(About a minute later)

Dispatch: "Alright, we're sending a cleanup crew down there, just hang in there."

I walk outside the server room and find a room containing lots of flash drives. Putting one into a nearby
computer shows that it contains malware.

Score!

I bag up as many flash drives as I can and move on. Hopefully I can come back to destroy the rest later.
After about 15 minutes of avoiding cameras, I find a room where several guards are watching TV. This must be the break room.

Dispatch: "All guards report to server room #3 now. The temperature alarm went off."
All the guards stand up and move past me on their way to the server room. It's like they didn't even see me.
One of the guard's radios drops, and of course it starts beeping.

Dispatch: "Hey, everyone to server room #3, we've got a situation here."

Me: "Keep the comm line clear dispatch! I'm on my way there now."

Well, now that the guard situation is taken care of, I can move on.
I find a room that has nothing but one desk in it. And on that desk is something that looks like a high-end laptop.

I sit down and open the laptop. Open on the screen is a text file containing what appears to be a list of locations that malware is stated to go out to.

I make a copy of it, and make space in my bag for the hard drive. Who knows what else is on this thing? Blueprints, records, maybe even the password for Area 51.

After walking for a few minutes, I come upon another server room.
A computer monitoring temperatures of the server and the room itself shows that the hard drive also contains backups of what I recognize to be some very nasty malware. I've used my only paperclip, so I will have to improvise.

I see guards coming into the room and hide behind a white container.

Guard 1: "Spread out. We need to make sure nothing else happens to the servers."

Guard 2: "Someone opened the tower case over here by the computers."

Guard 1: "Probably just one of the guys. Leave it alone."

Well, it seems like I am in quite the pickle. I sneak my way past the white container and climb up one of the server racks.
I see that the white container I was hiding behind was a large propane tank.

Whose bright idea was it to put an industrial sized propane tank in the same room as a bunch of servers?

Well I'm about to use it to my advantage.

I throw a grenade at the tank and wait for the explosion.

The grenade itself explodes and causes a small fire on the propane tank.

The small explosion causes some of the guards to check it out.

They see the fire for about two seconds before the big explosion knocks them back.

After the explosion, a large fire is raging in the room and only one guard gets up.

Guard 5: "Dispatch! We have a large fire in server room 7, send help. We have men down out here."
The guard regroups with the surviving guards in the room and they all run away.
