Alexey sat before a machine that hummed like a dying beehive. On the screen, a cursor blinked—a rhythmic, demanding heartbeat. He wasn't just trying to connect to the internet; he was trying to summon a ghost. The modem hissed, a chaotic symphony of static and high-pitched screams, searching for a handshake that never came. "Protocol error," the machine mocked.
