Magnazyte and the Special Sector

    The fourth platter held the sector Magnazyte sought, and before the head could read him, he phased through. Fortunately, he had enough energy to phase directly through to platter number four, but he still had to be worry about being read. He hovered just above the platter surface scanning the disk for the sector.

    There. As soon as he found it, he bound to it, reading the contents.

    It was taking longer than he expected, though. Could he finish before he finished his revolution? It didn't seem likely. He'd risk being read by the head. So be it.

    Magnazyte used some of his remaining charge to try and cause the head to skip, but it failed. As soon as he reached the tip, he could feel the entirety of his data being read. Just as it did though, he finished reading the contents of the sector. He zipped it up and charged up again to phase back through the disks.

    Magnazyte had used too much charge to attempt skipping the head, though, so he had only one other option. At the right vector from the spinning disk, he leapt off directly towards the SATA connection.  Once he found his way to the network adapter, he'd be able to make his way back home. He'd have to lie low as a background process for now, though, hoping he wouldn't be detected. Small chance, but better than leaving with the now-compromised hard drive.
