Search

Jeanne, Arthur and all their subordinates were going toward an entrance that seemed to lead to the inside of the planet.

When they arrived in front of it, they saw a thick metallic door with a height of 10 meters. Beside the door, there was a device to scan badges which could open the door.

"How can we open the door?" asked Arthur.

"It's seemed to be an important place, we should go to other facilities maybe we can see someone who has the right badge, after all it seems that it needs a specific badge to open this door." replied Jeanne.

On the device which would scan the badge, there was an engraved image with a round inside a square inside a triangle with a line passing through the middle.

"Right, everyone, we will dispatch ourselves in groups of tens, we should also search for other doors like that." ordered Jeanne with her communication device on her watch so that everyone could hear it

"Yes!" everyone understood and separate themselves.

The duo and seven other members who were higher in ranks than the others formed a group and searched the area.

After an hour of search, they found some houses heavily guarded by an AI weapon. But they found one which seems bigger and stronger than the others.

"It must be the house of the leader of this group." explained Jeanne.

"Right, we should first deactivate the weapon before entering it." said one of their subordinates.

Jeanne started her hacking by tapping on the hologram which appeared from their watch while the others were watching out for them.

After several minutes, the weapons were deactivated and they approached the door without any problem.

Jeanne looked around and noticed a small window on the wall next to the door. She walked over and peered inside. She saw a dimly lit corridor with several doors on both sides. She also saw a guard sitting at a desk near the end of the corridor. He seemed to be dozing off.

"Hey, I think I found a way in," she whispered to the others.

"There's a guard inside, but he's asleep. Maybe we can sneak past him and find a badge to open the door."

They all nodded and followed her to the door. They saw that it was locked with a simple latch. Arthur took out his knife and pried it open. He pushed the door and it swung inward.

"Good job," Jeanne said. "You go first. I'll cover you."

He looked around and saw no sign of movement. He motioned for the others to follow him. She quickly joined him and they both crept along the corridor, avoiding the doors.

They slipped through the door and started to approach the guard.

They reached the guard's desk and saw that he was still snoring. On his desk, they saw a badge with his name and photo on it. It read: "Sergeant James Carter, Security Division".

Arthur reached for the badge, but Jeanne stopped him.

"Wait, first neutralize him so that he can't wake up and call for reinforcements." whispered Jeanne.

Arthur nodded and took out a small syringe from his pocket. He injected the guard with a dose of tranquilizer that would keep him unconscious for a few hours. He then grabbed the badge and showed it to Jeanne.

"It's not the same symbol as the door, it only has a round inside a square" said Arthur.

"Right, we will continue searching here, for now, let's hide his body and steal his uniform." replied Jeanne.

They decided to separate themselves into two groups and each had gone to the path of each door.

The duo led each group.

After they neutralize each guard they saw, everyone was now wearing a uniform guard, and they used the face changing face to not be discovered.

They had all the same badge.

They shared their plan with the others who were not with them, and then, they met in front of the door of the main room.

"This must be the chief room, he must have the badge we are looking for." said Jeanne.

They looked at each other and nodded.

Jeanne scanned one of the badges on the device next to the door. It beeped and flashed green. The door slid open, revealing a spacious office with a large desk, a leather sofa, a bookshelf and a fireplace. On the wall behind the desk, there was a portrait of a man in a military uniform.

In the chair next to the desk, there was a man sleeping, while on his uniform there was the badge they were searching for.

They recognized the man in the portrait as General François Dubois, the leader of the military faction that had taken over the planet. They had seen his face on the news and on the wanted posters. He was a ruthless and cunning man who was one of the higher-ups of the Shik civilization.

The man sleeping in the chair was his son, Lieutenant Daniel Dubois. He looked younger and softer than his father.

Jeanne signaled to Arthur to follow her. They quietly entered the office and closed the door behind them. They approached the sleeping man and saw that he had a laser gun on his belt. Jeanne reached for it, but Arthur stopped her.

"Wait, just in case, let's do some preparation" he said while giving an order to the others to encircled him.

Then he nodded at Jeanne, and as soon as she touched his weapon, the man opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist.

"Who are you?" he shouted, trying to pull the gun out of his holster. "What are you doing here?"

But before he could do anything, the men behind knocked him out, and he felled to the ground.

"That was a close one." Sighed Arthur.

After that, Jeanne killed him with his own weapon and make it like he committed a suicide.

Then, she takes his badge, then while leaving, they destroyed the device next to the door so that other people can't enter inside.

They quickly escaped from this place and run to the gigantic door they saw earlier.

While doing that, they communicate with the other groups to informed them that they succeed.

They also learned that they had found 2 other doors, and they also found two other badges that could open the door.

Jeanne ordered for everyone to meet up at one door with the one with good badges will be the leader.

After they arrived at the first door they had discovered, Jeanne and her groups waited for the other groups, which was with them.

"Now let's see what is behind that door" said Jeanne.

She put the badge she got from the Lieutenant on the device, it makes a valid sound and the door disappeared, sinking into the ground.

They followed the badge holder into the dark tunnel that led to the inside of the planet. They felt a slight vibration as the door closed behind them.

They turned on their flashlights on their watches and walked cautiously along the tunnel. They saw pipes and wires running along the walls and ceiling.

While doing so, they sometimes encountered some Shik people which they had killed and hid their bodies in the ceiling.

After walking for about 30 minutes, they arrived at a space with many elevators, they all entered them and decided to go to the lowest floor possible, since the main machine much be there.

They pressed the button for the lowest floor and waited for the elevator to descend. They felt a surge of adrenaline as they prepared for the final confrontation. They knew that the main machine was the source of the Shik civilization's power and control over the planet. They had to destroy it at all costs.

They arrived at the center of the artificial planet.

The elevator stopped and the doors opened. They stepped out and saw a large metal door with a sign that read: "Warning: Authorized Personnel Only. Main Machine Room."

Jeanne scanned the badge again and the door opened. They entered the room and gasped at what they saw.

The room was filled with huge metal cylinders that emitted a humming sound. Wires and tubes connected them to a central console that had a large screen and a keyboard. On the screen, they saw a map of the planet, with red dots indicating the Shik bases and green dots indicating the human resistance.

The room was as big as a city, there were many guards who were protecting it.

Then, Jeanne contacted secretly the other groups, from their location, they were in the same room but at a different place.

While they planned their attack, suddenly Jeanne and Arthur received a call from Leo.

They looked at each other with a happy smile, they were delighted that he was still alive.

"Leo, you are alive? Where are you?" asked Jeanne.

"From your location, we are all in the same room." he replied.

It seems that they were all reunited for this assault.
