Chapter 7: Secrets (PART 1)

** Few hours earlier **

ORION: Sir the QC virus have hijacked the system, we can initiate any command

69: wait a minutes , I thought you said you can't connect to external devices ?

ORION: yes sir that is correct.

69: then how the hell you know the virus has hijacked the system, I know because I have the optical-computer as a controller on my eye, but you??

ORION: Sir I am somehow connected to all the network related device you have extracted..

69: I am sorry, but I think I misheard you. can you repeat...

ORION: I am connected to all the network re....

69: WTF, AHHHHHH ok ok clam down... so you are saying that you are connected with the nano-optical computer??

ORION: umm Yes sir.

69: How?

ORION: Toon force sir. : )

69: Fuck toon force.

ORION: umm sir , I am having problem to calculate how will you achieve that ??

69: leave it Orion, that was a mistake on my part .... (sigh) well just out of curiosity are you using "quantum entanglement" on the optical computer..

ORION: No sir I am not , it seem to be some other form of communication system.

69: Figures, well Orion search for someone named "Dr. Erik" in the server database and build a psychological profile to check will he be ready to betray this organization.

ORION: Affirmative... searching... found... building... calculating... done, Sir as I have concluded he will likely to betray the organization in case of "precious knowledge" accumulation combined with "human advancement". It seems he only works for greater advancement of human civilization.

69: Wow I did not expected that a scientist of a evil secret organization to be this good, Orion are you sure on your conclusion?

Orion: 96.67% sir.

69: Well, then what can I say it seem the ratio is good enough, OK Orion do you see any way we can established a communication with him without others knowing?

ORION: Yes sir, we can connect to his laptop.

69: Excellent. ok make a file in his desktop with a writing that someone is just trying to communicate with him and make sure it will not trigger him alert the base use his psychological profile for reference and make the letter according to that .

ORION: Affirmative sir... Ah sir it seems he have already noticed the message and currently reading it.

69: ok that's good so what did you tell him?

ORION: Sir along with the message, I have also created a folder in his desktop with a report and analysis of a lit bit advance "super soldier" serum with a custom made chat_app installed.

69: What !!! did give him the formula???

ORION: Of course not sir i will never do something without your permission. I have made a conclusion that in order for him to join us we need to show that we are superior in technology.

69: Hmm I can't argue with that. then -

ORION: Ahh Sir he seems to have open the chat_app I have left.

69: Great, Orion now try to slowly persuade him .

** After few minutes **

ORION: Sir, he is ready to join us but he is asking something...

69: what is it Orion??

ORION: He is asking our name..

69: our name? did you tell him who we are??

ORION: No sir, I was appearing as a hacker to him, or at least I think, that's what he think we are..

69: hmm, well... tell him that our name is Z

ORION: Any specific reason sir??

69: Just a gut feeling Orion.

ORION: ok sir.

**CURRENT TIME**

**Change of perspective - Dr. Erik **

Dr. Erik gets up from his chair after getting the formula for the advance "ss_serum", now he only have one single task given by this mysterious partner 'Z', to protect subject 69 at all cost. So he have already planed his next move, which is to sneak out the baby from the facility to his house because by no means a baby is safe in a "biology research center" with bunch of lunatics who have no morals. But he is also doing it as a counter-measure from this mysterious person called 'Z' as he believes Z cares for the baby.

Erik(inner thoughts): I have to be as normal as I could I can't let them doubt me, if I get caught I am doomed.

Thinking thoughts like these he reaches the capsule room area where test subjects for project ODIN are kept.

then suddenly...

???: "Dr. Erik I though your shift is over sir, why are you back?"

Erik: curse my bad luck!! "oh, if it isn't Richard well what are you doing here"

Richard: "umm well sir, I came to check the condition of the subjects for last time."

Erik: "oh, why though I think we have already done that, if you came for just that you should leave."

Richard(a bit angry tone): "Well sir , I think I still didn't get the answer to my question what are you doing here"

Erik(Authoritative tone): "Are you commanding over me Mr. Richard ?"

Richard: "uhh , no sir i was just-"

Erik: " listen Mr. Richard, I think It will be best for everyone if we forget these conversation ever happened and you get away from this room, am I understood?"

Richard now came to realization that the man in front of him is the second most authoritative figure in the base, and now keeping his job is his second problem as his first problem is to make sure this won't be his last night...

Richard: "yes yes sir."(Glup)

Richard leaves the room leaving only Erik on his own in a room full of capsules of bed size each containing a baby.

Erik: l nearly got busted, thank god I am a "alpha prime clearance" inside the base. (sigh)

Though Erik said that, inside he was very curious to know why his new partner Z wants to protect this baby? What's so special about this single baby ? Is it because of a special biology that the baby have ? but he have checked all the medical data and he found no anomaly in it.

Erik: well nothing can be solved by making assumptions, let's meet this subject 69 shall we..
