"Then route the cooling directly into the Nexus server chassis," Grayson instructed, his voice flat. "Leo's streaming algorithm is drawing too much processor power. The heat signature is spiking every time a merchant pushes a software update through the Apex gateway."
"I can't throttle the algorithm," Leo argued, standing up from his workstation. "If we throttle the processing speed, the continuous data stream breaks. The b
