MI-5 has the worst technobabble ever.
Actual dialogue between two characters in MI-5 Volume 9 Episode 1
Boss: You crack the code?
"Techie": Not exactly. Each message between Habib and Talwar has a different dynamic signature.
I have to trawl the non-indexed deep web to construct a cipher. It requires a lot of
computing power; takes time.
Boss: And you're waiting for...?
"Techie": Well... I _could_ send out a worm to temporarily hijack a thousand public personal
computers, harness their power together and we can do it.
Boss: The downside?
"Techie": Besides massive illegality, computers across the country will grind to a halt.
We may corrupt some files here and there.
Boss: So the country will have to struggle along without pornography and minesweeper for
a couple of hours. Do it.
