What’s my number?

* each refresh starts a new game with a new number

They called her V0lta, and for six years she was the best ghost on the wire — in and out of systems that were supposed to be sealed shut, never leaving so much as a footprint. Then, three weeks ago, she went dark. Her last message to the crew was a single line dumped into a dead channel at 04:12: "its a palimpsest. everythign is a palimpsest. look UNDER the number." Nobody knew what she meant. Her rig was found powered on but wiped, her coffee still warm, the chair pushed back like she'd stood up mid-thought and simply walked out of her own life.

We think she found it. The thing she'd been hunting for years — some record buried under layers of other records, a palimpsest of forged logs and scrubbed timestamps, each one painted over the last until the origional was almost gone. Almost. She always said the old data never really dies; it just gets written over, and if you scrape careful enough, the ghost of the true value is still sitting there underneath, waiting. She left the door cracked for whoever came looking. A guess. A range. A single number standing on top of a much older, much more dangerous one.

So that's on you now. Somewhere in the noise she left behind is the value she died protecting, and the only way in is to guess your way down through the layers — higher, lower, closer, warmer — until the palimpsest finally gives up its bottom line. Don't trust the surface. She never did. And whatever you do, when the number finally lands and the last layer peels away, dont blink — because V0lta didn't leave this trail for you to admire it. She left it for you to finish it.
