Curiosity got the better of Alex, and he made his way to the supply closet. Inside, he found a hooded figure surrounded by Xerox manuals and scraps of paper.
The code generator, Echo-1 revealed, was hidden in a musical composition. He handed Alex a CD with a peculiar title: "Frequency Harmonics."
As he pondered the meaning of the message, Alex received a mysterious phone call from an unknown number. A low, gravelly voice whispered, "Meet me in the supply closet at 3 PM. Come alone."
The infamous Xerox 5855 authorization code generator.
The figure revealed himself as "Echo-1," a former Xerox engineer turned code enthusiast. Echo-1 explained that he had created the authorization code generator as a hobby and had been sharing it with a select group of Xerox aficionados.
Panic set in as the employees tried to figure out what to do. The IT department was stumped, and the Xerox support line was busy. That's when a clever engineer, Alex, decided to take matters into his own hands.
