Episode 233: Natanz Nuclear Facility

Iranian intelligence chief Azid Hosseini’s eyes widened when he suddenly received an email.

‘You got an email from Wilson, right?’

Azid knew right away that the mail coming to Wilson’s address was classified as the most important.

‘Why did you send it? Are you asking for money? Or some other reason?’

Although he was tired after meeting so many people all day, Azid immediately clicked on the email Wilson sent.

[This is an upgraded version of the security system.]

Azid was surprised when he saw the title.

‘Upgrading the security system? why?’

Azid immediately checked the contents of the email.

[We have received information that the United States and Israel are attempting hacking again.]

[We acquired related sources and created a security system to respond to their hacking.]

[Please delete the existing system and install this system.]

[From your friend.]

Azid gritted his teeth.

‘The Israelis are trying to hack again? ‘How dare you ignore us!’

Since the last hack, Azid has strengthened security at the nuclear facility.

Unauthorized USB or external storage media were not allowed to be brought in at all, and they were not allowed to work even when plugged into the computer.

‘But trying again means that you’ve found a loophole somewhere, right?’

I was once again appalled by the capabilities of Israel and the United States.

‘But I have a special friend.’

Azid was very grateful to Wilson for obtaining this confidential information and sharing it with him.

‘Acquiring information and even preparing updates to stop him.’

Azid wondered if he should give Wilson a bigger reward.

‘First of all, I’ll think about that later, but now updates come first.’

Azid immediately downloaded the email attachment and placed it on a USB stick. It wasn’t a regular USB. It was a USB that had been specifically approved for use due to this hacking incident.

Azid called a driver and went straight to the nuclear facility.

“What are you doing at this hour?”

Azid spoke with a serious expression upon hearing the words of the commander on duty at the nuclear facility.

“Intelligence has been received that Israel and the United States are attacking again. You have to be able to stay still. “I have mobilized all my abilities and brought a security system to stop this.”

The night supervisor and watch commander said with wide eyes.

“They attack again!”

“Don’t get excited, have we been attacked by them once or twice? “You should always be thoroughly prepared.”

“That is a reasonable statement.”

“Now, take this and prepare it right away.”

Azid handed the USB to the commander on duty.

“Chief, what is this?”

“New security system. “Delete all existing security systems and install a new one with this one.”

“All right.”

The commander on duty had his subordinates prepare as Azid instructed. All USBs were blocked, but not Azide’s.

All work went smoothly. After about 30 minutes, everything was ready.

“Chief, preparations are complete. Shall we run it right away?”

“okay. “Do it now.”

“yes.”

When the duty commander gestured to his subordinates, they activated the security system.

“But manager, this security system is a little different from the previous version? The UI seems to be quite simple.”

There were no special buttons on the UI. Azid had never run this version before, so it was his first time seeing it.

But Azid didn’t think it was strange.

“What’s important is not the UI, but how well you catch bugs?”

“yes. you’re right. “I think I sprained my eye for a moment.”

It was about 10 minutes after the new security system started.

– Wingeeeing.

The machines in the nuclear facility began making noise.

The duty commander asked the staff.

“Hey, what does this mean?”

“I do not know. “We’ll find out right away.”

The equipment managers were busy walking around and checking the equipment. And then I called somewhere.

Azid saw this and asked the commander on duty.

“what? “Where are you calling?”

“It’s night time now. The technician in charge has left work. “I guess I’m asking him.”

Azid frowned and shouted.

“If you think it’s going to be long, ask the person in charge to come!”

“yes!”

Azid felt uneasy about something.

‘no way? ‘There must be something wrong, right?’

Azid shook his head.

‘Probably not.’

It was then. The sound of the equipment became louder.

“uh… What happened!”

As Azid shouted, the equipment manager came running with a pale face and shouted.

“Siemen’s equipment is not listening.”

The commander on duty shouted.

“What are you talking about?”

“No matter how hard we try to control it, we can’t.”

“what? “Then what happens?”

“It’s going crazy right now. All machines are operating beyond their maximum limits. If things continue like this… … .”

It was then.

– Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess

Emergency alarms started sounding everywhere.

That wasn’t all.

– Boom!

One by one, smoke began to come out of the equipment outside the system room, and one by one exploded.

Azid saw it and shouted.

“what are you doing! Turn off the equipment immediately! “Turn it off!”

The equipment manager who heard this ran to the power supply. But it was already too late.

– Boom!

The glass in the system room shattered with a huge explosion sound. The equipment manager collapsed from the impact.

The commander on duty urgently grabbed Azid’s arm.

“Chief, you have to leave immediately. “It looks like it’s going to explode soon.”

“no! If this place explodes, you’ll die even if you leave! Everyone, don’t run away, deal with it!”

Azid gritted his teeth.

‘Why is this happening… … .’

At that moment, Azid remembered the new security system file he had brought.

‘if… ‘Is that wrong?’

Azid shook his head.

“why? “There’s no reason for that!”

It was then. the equipment man shouted.

“The centrifuge is strange.”

Azid looked out the system room window with a soulless expression. There, equipment, especially the centrifuge, was burning.

‘no! no!’

Centrifuges were the most important equipment in nuclear facilities. If that were to fail, it would be no different from the failure of the nuclear project itself.

“Quickly turn off the light!”

Azid shouted, pointing at the centrifuge. Several employees rushed over with fire extinguishers, but the sparks from the damaged centrifuge were already spreading to other equipment.

– Chichi Iik.

Most of the equipment began to smoke, and soon the nuclear power plant exploded with a loud noise.

– Boom, boom, boom!

Captain Sheran, the company commander of Israel’s 8200th unit, went to the director’s office in response to an emergency call from the Mossad director.

The sharp-eyed Mossad chief said to Captain Sheran:

“An emergency report has come in. “They say smoke is coming from the Natanz nuclear facility.”

Captain Sheran asked in surprise.

“At the Natanz nuclear facility?”

“okay.”

“Could it be that there was a missile attack?”

The Mossad chief shook his head.

“If I had, I wouldn’t have called you.”

“So, was the American operation successful?”

“okay. “It will become clear when more information is gathered, but based on the current analysis, that is what we believe.”

Captain Sheran looked blank.

“Nonsense. “How on earth?”

“I’m curious about that too. How on earth did they breach the strict security of that nuclear facility? Do you have any guesses? “That’s why I called you.”

Captain Sheran shook his head.

“I do not know. All we know is that the U.S. requested cooperation, saying they will try hacking themselves this time. “The only thing unusual is that we were asked to keep an eye on Intelligence Director Azid.”

“Azid… Head of Information Department. no way? “Did you recruit him from the United States?”

“That can’t be possible.”

The Mossad director nodded.

“yes. That may or may not be the case. “He is all about money and power, but he is not the kind of person who would betray the country.”

Captain Sheran asked.

“Could it be that the United States hacked Director Azid’s computer?”

“This can be happen. But, even if you hack it, isn’t there a next step? Azid makes us plug a USB into a computer at a nuclear facility? “It’s absolutely impossible.”

Captain Sheran could not answer. Because he thought so too.

“But I think America did it.”

“how?”

Captain Sheran thought for a while before answering the Mossad director’s words.

“… “Peter Parker.”

“Peter Parker? “Are you talking about the outsider who joined the NSA last time?”

“yes. “It’s possible he moved.”

“Is there a reason you singled him out?”

Captain Sheran recalled the test.

“The person who broke into us using a log4j bug that no one knows about is Peter Parker. Of course, other NSA agents are also highly capable. But I don’t think they moved Azid.”

“Well, that’s right. What they do, we can do too. So, the only one left is Peter Parker. “Who is he?”

Sheran shook his head and answered.

“His identity is being completely hidden by the NSA. Of course, we confirmed some information through our contact network, and they say he seems to be from Asia.”

“Asia?”

“yes. “I heard that his English is almost native level, so I’m guessing he’s a second-generation Japanese or Chinese American citizen.”

The Mossad director nodded at Sheran’s words.

“Do your best and find out his identity.”

“All right.”

“and… … .”

The Mossad director said with a truly regretful expression.

“The missile launch plan is completely canceled.”

* * *

– The Natanz nuclear facility appears to have been blown up.

– The operation was successful.

– Thank you all for your hard work.

Cheers rang out in the NSA operations conference room as Company Commander Israel Sheran spoke.

“and!”

“Success!”

“crazy! “This was a success?”

Director Keith told everyone.

“for a moment. quiet.”

As the surroundings became quiet, Director Keith spoke into the speaker.

“Israel also worked hard. “I’ll contact you next time.”

– We look forward to hearing from you.

Director Keith shouted, completely cutting off communication.

“ha ha ha. Good job everyone! ha ha ha. “I never thought this would happen!”

Everyone screamed again as Director Keith cheered. Everyone hugged each other and there was no fuss.

Director Keith approached Do-jun, who was hugging Snowden, and said,

“I can’t believe it. “How on earth did you do it?”

Dojun said with a smile.

“I didn’t do it alone. We did it with Snowden. “Anyway, are we going to get scolded now?”

Director Keith laughed out loud at Dojun’s words.

“okay. I’m going to get scolded a lot. I did what I wanted and made the operation a success. “You will be punished with money, and Snowden will be promoted and put to work!”

Everyone screamed at Director Keith’s words.

“promotion! promotion!”

Jackson came over, grabbed Snowden, and lifted him up.

“Ahh! Jackson what are you doing! “Let go quickly!”

“You left me alone and had fun just the two of us? “This is my revenge!”

Snowden screamed, but everyone looked happy.

At that time, Director Keith approached Do-jun and asked.

“hey. Dojun, how did you come up with the idea to hack the Iranian intelligence service?”

“It was luck. “I wanted to create a hacking program and test the level of the Iranian intelligence service’s security system.”

Do-jun mixed 9 truths and 1 lie. Of course, I didn’t mention the secret contract or Snowden.

“Thanks to that luck, many people’s lives were saved. “You’re great, you’re great.”

“I was just doing my job.”

“Hehe. I’m really greedy. “If I were President of the United States, I would have done something to prevent you from going to Korea.”

Dojun looked shocked.

“Never say that. “It’s scary to even think about it.”

“It’s because it’s such a waste. By the way, Dojun. “I might hear from you soon.”

“Contact me? “Who?”

Director Keith said, pointing upward with his finger.

“I have to go to the office now and report to my superiors, but if they find out about this, will they keep quiet? “I might actually get kidnapped.”

What Director Keith said was true. In less than an hour, Dojun’s phone burned down.

We have been contacted by everyone from the US Secretary of Defense to the Director of the CIA. Everyone thanked Dojun and asked him to tell him if there was anything he could do to help in the future.

‘Luckily, no one wanted to kidnap me. It was hard work, but the results are sweet. Now, haven’t you obtained help from the U.S. Secretary of Defense and the Director of the CIA?’

Depending on how it was used, this could have tremendous effects.

I also received a call from my father-in-law, Congressman Robert. However, the reason Robert called was different from the others.

– Hey, son-in-law. I really worked hard.

“What about the hardships? “My father-in-law also had a hard time.”

– Pfft. As expected, the only person who understands me is my son-in-law. So Dojun, please save me.

Dojun tilted his head at Robert’s earnest voice.

“yes? “Is there anyone who threatens my father-in-law?”

– huh. I’m getting death threats. Sally gets scolded every day for not coming.

Dojun chuckled.

‘but. There are only two months left until the wedding, and we haven’t even found a wedding venue yet… .’

“Do not worry. “I’ll just finish up and go straight to Sally.”

– thank you. I’m just trusting you.

Dojun hung up the phone and felt lighter.

‘really. It’s over. Now I just have to go see Sally.’

There was a lot to do when I met Sally.

‘Anyway, where can I find a wedding venue? Are you looking for it like in Korea? Besides, I have to make flight reservations for my relatives. Wait, you have to buy a house in Korea too, right?’

Dojun planned to continue living where he was living now. His younger sister Mina decided to provide a separate house nearby for Dojun.

‘And what about the furniture?’

Dojun didn’t mind using what he had now, but he had to listen to Sally’s opinion.

‘Can we really finish these things in two months?’

Dojun seemed to know why Sally was making such a fuss.

‘If I do something wrong, I could die?’

Dojun thought he should finish the work quickly and run to Sally.

Dojun finished all his work the next morning. From the beginning, Snowden knew all about what Jun did, and he only did the level of uploading and organizing the source material.

‘Now, is this really the end?’

Dojun looked around the NSA office where he had been for nearly a month.

‘This life is truly spectacular. ‘Working for the NSA, the starting point of all conspiracies in the world.’

Dojun grinned and cleaned up his desk. At that time, a person approached Dojun.

“Dojun, are you packing up your luggage?”

It was Snowden.

“huh. “I have to leave now.”

Snowden made a bitter expression at Dojun’s words.

“I feel lonely without you.”

It was the same for Dojun. He said he had worked with many people over the years, but he had never found one he got along with as well as Snowden.

“So do i.”

When Dojun made a bitter expression, Snowden forced a smile and said.

“Why are you making that face? We’ll meet again. Are you getting married soon? “You’re not going to invite me?”

“Of course I should invite you. “I’m going to invite all the NSA people.”

“ha ha ha.”

Snowden laughed. Dojun also laughed out loud when he saw Snowden smiling brightly.

Snowden said.

“By the way, you have that promise you mentioned last time, right? “You don’t have to keep that.”

The idea was that Do-jun would help Snowden if he gained security system authority.

“why?”

“Because I can do it with my own strength. therefore. Dojun, erase you from my mind.”

Dojun looked into Snowden’s eyes.

‘You’re doing this because you’re afraid I’ll be in danger.’

At the same time, Dojun was confident that Snowden would act like he did in his past life.

I don’t remember exactly when it was, but within a few years, Snowden would announce the Prism project to the world.

‘Losing Snowden like that?’

That couldn’t be possible.

‘Is there some way? A way to save Snowden.’

It was then. There was a thought passing through Dojun’s mind.

Dojun asked Snowden in a whisper.

“Snowden, did you send that side contract to Eric?”

“No, not yet. “I’m going to send it to you when you go.”

Dojun smiled brightly.

“okay? “Then, may I take a look at that contract?”
