"Jarvis?"
No answer, and she wouldn't receive one. "Shit," she breathed, and began rerouting her access into a temporary administrator account to try and get a better idea of what was going on.

The system was still there and running, but not much else; she couldn't detect any external interference, either. It was almost like the AI, Jarvis himself, had simply been stripped out of it.
That gave her pause. The release program, its source, its purpose, what it normally did -- the odd circumstances around Jarvis' existence and situation, that look before he disappeared, the disappearance itself--
"...Shit." Trinity whipped her phone out of her coat and quickly punched in the memorized number. It rang once.
