up to the outside elements, but they do not reach the storage room,

which is situated down a long corridor and separated by a door.

Vault

The piqlVault is forced entry, but strategically so, so that the structural

integrity for the most part remains intact. The temperature and humidity

regulations remain intact. The small fires caused by the controlled

explosions needed to get into the storage room do not reach the

piqlVault system grid (which would have been protected by the fire

suppression mechanism anyhow).

The weaponised electromagnetic pulses do not reach the piqlVault, as

they were employed outside the mountain hall. Had they reached the

piqlVault system, all operations would cease. The robots in particular

could be damaged if there is an overload on several of its finer

electronic components at the same time. The electromagnetic pulses

would also destroy the data which is transferred via the radio signals

from the Controller to the robots, impeding the movements of the

robots.

Box

The piqlBox is not affected during the incident.

Film

The piqlFilms in question are not damaged. The electromagnetic pulses

have no effect in the plastic of the film; the explosives and subsequent

fire do not reach the vault; and the temperatures and humidity levels do

not notably change. The piqlFilms are, however, removed from the

facility without authorised permission.

Power/energy supply

The power supply is not affected in a notable way during the attack. The

explosions were controlled to the extent that they would not take out any

other systems while the doors were forced open. And even if they did,

the mountain repository is well equipped with backup generators (no

provider of redundancy, however, as too difficult due to remote

location).

Divergence from

ISO standard

The storage conditions of the Piql Preservation Services are not notably

affected during the incident. The entrance to the storage room is left

open after the state actor leaves, as the door has been blown away, but

the backup that was called by the data owner during the attack arrive

fairly quickly after state X left and were able to restore ideal storage

conditions.

Security mechanisms

Integrity

As the piqlFilms are not damaged during the incident, the data is not lost

in the sense that it is altered. The integrity of the piqlFilms thus remains

intact.

Availability

The availability of the piqlFilms is compromised, as the information

stored on them is no longer accessible to the data owner.
