A human hacker logs into the Decepticon mainframe and reads an overview of the Autobot/Decepticon war.
Synopsis
Teen hacker Adam Reynolds mis-dials while trying to reach his local bank and instead reaches the Decepticon Mainframe Computer. A fluke results in him typing the correct access code, and he reads in amazement the history of the Autobot/Decepticon war.
However, Adam inadvertently triggers a security system when he tries to access a file his code doesn't give him access to. The Decepticon Mainframe Computer sends a 1,000,000 volt surge down Adam's phone line, destroying his computer and burning up his printouts. Adam would have been killed—except this cat startled him back from the computer a moment before it exploded.
Adam is not dissuaded. He wonders if there's an Autobot computer online somewhere...
