From Empty World, Data Ruins:
1 Offense	You batter the file system, easily wiping out its data.	O+1
1 Command	You command the records to fully resolve themselves. It churns for a moment and you get… a much shorter list, but still far more than you'd be able to look through manually.	1
View ≥ 3 or C+V	First part (nothing) Or, if ???: The records point to one another, more like a puzzle than a file system… but one you feel comfortable handling. Second part: If you used View ≥ 3: You pore over the link records, more glad with each passing line that you have a search function to help you out. Out of all the records, there's one unlike any other… almost as though you're meant to find it, pointing to a server called Roy's One Stop. Otherwise, if you used C+V(?): You force the server to untangle the worst of the internal references, but still end up poring over the link records. Out of all the records, there's one unlike any other… almost as though you're meant to find it, pointing to a server called Roy's One Stop.	4	Gain 4 XP, link to Roy's One Stop
Defense Other	The file system seems content to leave you alone.	?

View	Sometimes the same as empty world (above), but also see below
View = 2	This doesn't seem to be a set of connections records… at least not from a living site. It looks like records, sure, but the connections are almost entirely between subsystems here. If there's something hiding in there, you'll probably have just as much luck unraveling the knots of data as searching through it.	1-3
View = 3	These connection records are really massive, as though the site you're looking at is one of the most popular on the Net… On further inspection, it becomes clear it's also logging connections between subsystems here. That explains the mess, but doesn't make it any easier to find anything useful.	1
C + V	Sometimes the same as empty world (above), but also see below
4C + 1V	You force the server to untangle the worst of the internal references, but still end up poring over the link records. Out of all the records, there's one unlike any other… almost as though you're meant to find it, pointing to a server called Roy's One Stop.		4 XP, link to Roy's One Stop
2V + 2C ; 4C + 10V	You command the records to fully resolve themselves. It churns for a moment and you get… a much shorter list, but still far more than you'd be able to look through manually.
