Stealing and Destroying

"Mr. Koizumi, there you are… How are you faring?" asked one of the employee. It has been five days since they arrived at the headquarter, and Saki has made a lot of acquaintance. Unfortunately, the program this year have changed from the usual one and they, end up being separated in groups.

The only one who got grouped together was Loreno and Esther.

"I am good, sir. What brings you here?" Saki asked.

"Haha, no need to be polite. Say, do you remember about your explanation on how to increase the size of the spatial storage? Apparently, the higher ups are interested in your method and they ask me to introduce you to them."

Saki inwardly smirked. 'Step one, done,' he thought to himself. "I see, I am not free now. My group is currently scheduled for-"

"Nonsense! It will be a waste of your talent for you to join them! Come with me instead. I'll show you something good," Saki was slightly shocked. This kind of outcome is not within his calculation.

"But sir, I don't want the company I'm working in get in trouble…"

"Don't fret! It has all been taken care of!"

It looks like Saki has no other choice. He was literally dragged towards the elevator and the employee used his card to get them to the 17th floor. A floor that should've been out of access to visitor like Saki. Once they reached the 17th floor, it was like a whole different place. If the technology below is considered cutting edge… then this can be said, technology that surpassed human realm.

"Wow…" Saki couldn't help but exclaim in awe. "This is amazing…"

"Isn't it? Come! I'll bring you to the meeting room!"

In the meeting room, sat several old men around the large table. When Saki got inside, he immediately became the centre of attention. "Gentlemen, might I introduce you, Koizumi Saki. The person who explained how to increase the size of the spatial storage."

"This is him? He is… younger than we expected. How is it that we never heard of him before?" one of the old men spoke up. Saki gulped and started to sweat.

"Ah, yes. That was because he is from the north wall. He was only transferred to McMiller Pharmaceutical Corporation's headquarter few days ago to attend the program. But considering his talent, I think it is a shame for him to stay there, when we can use him for the new project which is in development," explained the employee who brought Saki in.

"That project, is top secret!" sounded another old man.

"Yes, but we hit a wall. I believe a new fresh blood can help us break that wall."

"Well, if he can help. It would help all of us. With that project done, those lower class won't be able to infiltrate anymore… but how can we trust him?"

"Call it instinct. As fellow scientist, I know Saki is hungry for knowledge. As long as that hunger is there, we can trust him," replied the employee, who turns out to be some scientist. "Also… don't you guys trust me?"

There was a series of discussion between the old men and when they have come to an agreement, they turned to face them once again. "Very well, but, he will be your responsibility. We only relented because we trust you. If anything happen, you will take responsibility," said one of the old man.

"Good choice!"

A few hours later, Saki found himself surrounded by machines. "What is this project about?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Teleportation device," came the reply. "It really is a top secret, and not just anyone can be here. But, you are different. You have the talent. I think you can help us overcoming this wall we encountered."

'Teleportation device? This… we never heard of this!' Saki was excited. 'This… is a great find! If I can steal this and destroy the data…'

The employee from before glanced at Saki, and he misunderstood Saki's excitement. "Alright, come on! I can already see you're excited. Come!"

Saki was introduced to the team who are working in the project. It is amazing how someone could trust Saki, just with how he explained about the spatial storage.

"I believe that we can use the spatial storage system and implement it on the teleportation system. We'll create the space large enough to connect from point A to point B and once its connected, we can try reducing the space between the two point…" Saki suggested the idea he thought of on the spot. Saki is not even trying to trick them because he too is fascinated with the technology.

They began working on it and soon, the wall had been broken. They managed to connect the two points and even tested it. Although it isn't considered teleportation yet, but more of 'tunnel travelling' because they still travel the same distance. Now, if only they can figure out how to reduce the space. During the time, Saki were researching about it, Saki found something that could change history. Literally. He didn't report the finding but instead, commit it to mind.

It was now the last day, and Saki must return to McMiller Pharmaceutical Corp., much to the team's displeasure. The two days they were working with Saki was enough for them to be taken in with the boy. "Good-bye, lad. I wish we could go down and send you off but, we're working on a secret project. Plus, we are not really allowed to leave until the project is done."

"It's not a problem, sir. I also enjoy working with the team… it is a shame that our time is short. Maybe if I apply here, will you guys accept me?" he asked with a playful grin.

"Ha! If you apply, the whole team will be speaking up for you! We'll even drag you back here on your first day! Because of you, we managed to crush down that wall that we've been stuck in for a while now. Have fun, lad. We'll meet again next time!"

And indeed, they meet again the next night. Saki and the rest infiltrated the headquarter, stole the pills and the formula while destroying the database. Saki had told them about the teleportation device and they too, decided for the best that it is destroyed. Of course, Saki knew the scientists were working overnight. In fact, he knew, the scientists are sleeping there. So imagine the surprise of the scientists when they saw Saki that night.

They proceeded with clearing the data gathered during the research of the teleportation device. They should've started with destroying the device first, but Tobias was thinking if they took their time, the scientist might slipped and copied the data as back up. But that choice proved to be a wrong one.

Out of desperation, one of the scientist activated another device they were working on, which Saki had no idea about. The gate-like device activated and everything was sucked into it. But because it was unfinished, it was over heating. Soon, the place was enveloped in white, and from the outside, the headquarter disappeared from its place.
