The Secret Island was in fact connected to a vast complex of other islands too, which had been an instrumental part of why Sally had chosen it as the base for her EVP research.
And it had been Valentine who had given her an idea regarding the perfect way to keep her EVP technology safe.
Indeed.
The Peer to Peer Protocol and Client Server Model Concepts had been revolutionary for their time, but with the presence of Sally, and alongside Valentine's exceptional, Bob-fueled strategizing prowess, this was now taken to the next level.
Instead of having the EVP Technology Blueprints distributed in an "X marks the spot" location, the Full secret had been distributed across all the network of Islands, each of which functioned as a node in the greater whole.
This way, even if the Dark Rizzards cracked one node, the information could simply be transferred to another, or at worst they would only get part of the whole, leaving them high and dry, like an incomplete torrent file stalled with no seeds…

Of course, the Dark Rizzards were aware of this possibility, and had arranged for countermeasures.
Regardless of how ingenious the defense system was, one thing remained constant - Sally!!! So long as they captured Sally… well then they would have leverage to obtain the EVP Technology!!!
Accordingly, they mobilized their forces - the main contingent would track down the EVP Blueprints on the islands, whilst an Elite Taskforce would potentially spear away at any time to hunt down Sally should the opportunity arise.
That said, Itvashim was definitely wary since he believed (wrongly) that he had experienced both Heaven and Hell at the hands (and feet and well every body part really) of Sally at the World Ball…

It was time for the ARSES to shine. There were various tactical configurations and strategic options - they could defend together at multiple areas, or Each Member could also guard one Island or aim for a particular objective.
In this case, it was to stop the Dark Rizzards from obtaining the EVP Technology Secret until it had been safely evacuated and moved to a safe location.
A lot of this was doable online, but at the same time, there was physical documentation and the key physical technological prototypes that needed to be protected, secured and delivered safely from the Island into the safety of the Anti-Rizz Realm stronghold.

Meanwhile of course, Bob had also learned of this critical point which would be pivotal in determining the future trajectory of the Future of Humanity Project - as a result, he also had his Alter-Egos step up, keeping an eye on the situation…
