Net4er turned out to be more specific, but his words sounded like a sentence.
“In order to accommodate such a volume of information, the existing high-capacity carriers will suffice. Login to the network is not needed. But what I heard suggests that this thing can change mass without additional transforming and energy modules, and this already smacks of violating the laws of physics and other alchemy. Or… "
