"Here. Sorry. Needed to hack into Genom's files. Took me a few
seconds.

In short, the idea of hacking into someone's encrypted system in a
couple of seconds is beyond science fiction, and well into fantasy.

It's absurd as using a propeller beanie to fly

Granted. However, remember, that the Phantom's equipment, such as the image 
sampling which he uses to become invisible, repeatedly baffled Maxinum Inc. 
The cartoon repeatedly implied that the Phantom's equipment was several steps 
ahead of Maxinum's. A company who's computers Sparks hacked into regularly. 
Assuming that Genom is roughly on the same level as Maximum in terms of size 
and ablity, they probably use similar firewalls. Therefore, it stands to 
reason that given Spark's ablities in the virtual landscape and the advanced 
nature of the Phantom's computer system, he could theoretically hack his way 
into Genom using the experience he's gained hacking Maxinum.

Now as I was typing that line of logic, I had an idea.

Now, if you had instead said that he had previously planted a bug in the
hardware of one of Genom's computers, then that would be more believable
in terms of technology.� But that introduces the question of how it got
put there.

No weak spot persay, but the armor is only half an inch thick just

That's two words, "per se" (it's a latin phrase, meaning "by itself"),
not one word.

"Got it. Thanks, Sparks. Computer, cancel uplink and log on to Phantom
Jet mainframe. Download saber tac net band."

"...Watch your left, Linna!" Sylia was shouting as the suit's com
synchronized with the Saber's tactical net.

"Hey!" Nene broke in. "Somebody just hacked the tac net!"

Now this is even more unbelievable, since there's no possibility that he
could have messed with the Knight Sabers hardsuits.� Well, maybe he
*could* have, but he wouldn't have.

I was afraid it might not be clear. What I meant was that he had gotten into 
their tactical communications network. Their communications system. Which 
no doubt would be encrypted not only electronically, but probably on a loop 
of frequecies set up in some fiendish pattern that could only come from the 
mind of a Romanova. =) The Jet probably got an earful of it during the 
battle and it's had plenty of time to analyze the pattern and crack it (and 
you know it'd have it or acess to equipment that could, it would be foolish 
not to). Then the suit's com system simply had to catch up to the saber's 
com system.
Any suggestions on how to make it clearer?
