Please catch up - Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5.

Recap: W wakes up in a hotel room to find a pistol in her hand, aiming at a man. She is in a state of total retrograde amnesia - she can't remember anything that happened before that point. She tries to find out who she is, but her comprehensive efforts are met with failure. W is a good investigator - but before her amnesia, she was a masterly stealth artist. It's almost as if she did not exist. A ghost, a shadow, a master assassin. With no choice left, she sets out to sequence her DNA. She stealthily infiltrates a research lab with a prototype Rapid DNA Sequencer, and starts sequencing her DNA.

Silence in Time - Chapter 6

W boots the rapid DNA Sequencer machine - the display is a rudimentary command line interface. After typing in a couple of lines, she places her finger on the syringe, which draws in blood. The display switches to "Sequencing in Progress".

The chaos outside has subsided, but W keeps a close eye out, as the progress bar ticks down.

Minutes later, it’s done. She uploads the data to a flash drive and draws a breath at the door. She exits the room, and casually walks along the corridor, onto the rear exit. She exits using the stolen keycard. (Chapter 4)

By now, the security has discovered the intrusion, and raised the alarms. She drops her casual pace, and makes a run for it, leaping through emergency stairs. The stealth of the operation is now blown - but it's all going according to plan for W.

She runs through the stairs, to the parking area. The pursuers can be heard, but they are way behind and cannot be seen.

She enters a cheap hatchback car that is strategically parked next to the exit. She starts the car, sets off, and leaves the area.

Back at her base, she starts looking at her DNA. It's extremely unusual - the analyzer CLI returns the result -

"Species Unknown"

The DNA is a 99.99% match for Homo Sapiens Haplogroup H20, but it's not enough. There must be some error - she's clearly a homo sapien. Or is she? Perhaps she's a mutant - that would explain her superhuman skills.

Looking further, there's something further amiss. Next to every 1 in 1 million CAGT pair there is are two unknown nucleobases the analyzer placeholders as - U and A.

W isolates these together. It's a series of Us and As. But what if you replace Us and As with 1s and 0s?

It's code. It's binary code!
