[It's something akin to hacking a system administrator like Eve. Something powerful, and in contrast, far more developed. 9S assesses this much, having to pause in hacking to reposition himself so he can avoid attacks. He doesn't have the advantage of surprise, nor does he have someone to cover for him, and so his efforts are cautious.
These defenses are stronger than he might've expected, besides. But maybe he should have, when it's a being not dissimilar to Emil in power.
He concentrates in the hope that he can weaken the creature's defenses and perhaps cripple its use of a limb or two, rather like he did with the Engles unit he and 2B once faced. The problem, of course, is that he can't mount an offense. In the process of hacking, though, he comes across a name and the knowledge that that person is here...
9S may not relish seeing memories he shouldn't be privy to, but at a time like this, he'll take what he can get. And he reaches across their bizarre mental network, focusing on that face, and that name. He can only hope it works]
