Jessica successfully claimed that temporary throne. However, new power did not come with peace, power came with high level paranoia.At 23:30.

Under Arka's command, the two Nirvana Angels injected millions of fake high speed buy and sell transactions high frequency trading loops into the media options system."Michael, increase the pressure on the stock exchange security gateway," Arka ordered from his underground virtual deck.
