Maggie and her fellow analysts were present at an emergency briefing held at the Pentagon when Secretary of Defence Keller revealed that SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar was attacked by a mysterious and unidentified force, leaving no survivors. Pressing the point home to the young computer experts, Keller said that their enemy attempted to hack into the base's mainframe but failed, leaving them to the conclusion that they will try again. Catching's Maggie's attention was the only clue left at the base, a mysterious frequency unlike any seen before.
While analysing the frequency for its origin, Maggie and her team discovered an hostile agent hacking into the mainframe of Air Force One, accessing almost the entire US military defense grid. With no way to stop the enemy, Maggie suggested disconnecting all their severs, which proved to be sucessful. Later, Maggie snuck into a confidential briefing between Keller and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. When one high-ranking officer commented that the attack might have come from North Korea or Russia, she interrupted, explaining that the capabilities of this enemy were far in advance of anything they've ever seen. She theorised the possibility of a living organism being the culprit, but Keller was unwilling to listen unless she provided evidence to back up her claims.
Frustrated at being stonewalled by the government and the military, Maggie copied the contents of the frequency data onto an SD memory card and left the Pentagon. Arriving at her friend Glen's house, she explained to him the dire consequences she would face if she was discovered with this information, and that he was the only hacker with the skills to access the information embedded within. His curiosity piqued, Glen proceeded to hack into the data, discovering images and files about something called Project: Iceman and an organisation named Sector Seven. Before they could view any more information, an FBI assault team crashed through the front door and arrested everybody in his house.
