## Mindjot Datacenter

### Time

2000

**Sinuous Trail** is the eighth playable mission in *Ready or Not*. D-Platoon have been dispatched to serve a high risk search warrant at a Mindjot Datacenter suspected of being used by a child pornography ring.

## The Story

Following Mindjot's filing for bankruptcy, the board of executives made the decision to liquify all of their assets, mainly by selling their higher quality servers in order to replace them with cheaper ones imported from Asia, as detailed by a corporate email that can be found inside the Admin Room in the first floor of the building. By the time D Platoon raids the Datacenter, the new servers have already been delivered and had begun their installation, hence the presence of civilian staff, as well as Mindjot's private security in the area. However, the new servers' poor capabilities would lead to a myriad of errors and difficulties for the staff, which is indicated by the heavy presence of bluescreens in the map's several TVs and desktop monitors

As detailed by the mission briefing, the mission takes place after the raid on Michael William's Residence, in which a number of hard drives and a Mindjot crypto miner were siezed. These would then be searched by the LSPD, leading to the finding of certain IP addresses that would point at one of the many Datacenters owned by Mindjot as a direct distribution point for child pornography.

The Datacenter was previously the target of two robberies where the culprits were dressed as Police Officers. These culminated in the kidnapping of staff and the deaths of several security personnel. As a result of this, guards on the premises are heavily armed, clad in body armour and will not go down quietly.

## The Map

The map consists of the Datacenter's exterior perimeter, which is mainly comprised of the main entrance, the delivery bay and the backlot parking. The main entrance serves as the spawn point for the players, while the backlot parking has both a backdoor that leads into a hallway leading to the main server room and staff area, as well as a staircase leading to the building's second floor. To the left of the backdoor, there is a staff ladder leading to the building's roof.

The delivery bay serves as a flanking route that leads directly into the building's electrical room, which itself can serve as a direct route into the main server room. However, this area is more exposed, with the only cover available being the delivered servers, boxes and vehicles, leaving players exposed to potential enemies looking down from the building's roof.

The main entrance leads directly into the building's main lobby, which itself branches off in 3 directions. To the left, the main reception, which itself leads into the kitchen and staff area. To the front, the main server room of the building, overlooked by the second floor offices. To the right, the electrical room and the bathrooms.

The main server room and the second floor offices serve as the focal point of the map, featuring almost claustrophobic, narrow spaces between server racks, all of it right beneath not just the second floor window, but also beneath catwalks hovering right above the server room, all of which is likely to be filled with armed hostiles and civilians alike

## Items

* Keycard: On this map, there is a green and white keycard you can find. This keycard allows you to open locked doors. Such as, The Meeting Room, The Electrical Room, and The Staging Area. Sometimes, multiple keycards may spawn, and there are multiple spawns. One spawn is on the black counter with the computers on the main desk, for some reason, this keycard will spawn in the counter, but still may be picked up. If you continue through to what looks like a break room, you can find another keycard next to a bag of chips, and one floating next to a sink. This is not needed

## Trivia

* It is shown that Brixley Talent Time is connected to Mindjot, due to one of the computers showing the Mindjot logo with some messages in Brixley Talent Time. Also both places were being raided for illicit pornography.
* Found in the Admin Room, There is a email pulled up showing that the Chief Systems and Network Director of Mindjot is a person named Regner Blok-Anderson. Regner Blok-Anderson, is a real person who has friends that work at VOID. As of July 21, 2023, he is the Senior Platform Engineer at a company named Splash Damage. He is active on twitter.
