Philippe goes through the entrance , thousands of people throng towards the building . The many employees are seen showing their ID cards to the security officers .
Many bypass the security as the officers are over whelmed . Philippe manages to bypass the security officers .
This place is changing me , I have never broken any rules
Philippe walks through the big doors , and he witnesses many events taking place
Hundred stories tall
Thousands are spread participating in many activities , Philippe walks through the crowded place . And he navigates to the front desk
Again he sees , hundreds queued up in front of the receptionist
Maybe it is a wrong day for me to have come here . he thinks
I shall return tomorrow
As he heads back , he witnesses many people getting seated at the Atrium
What must that be ?
He walks towards the seated Atrium . There is a man speaking in front to fall these people . A very polished man in a polished suit
And then he witnesses something out of the ordinary .
His Ears
His ears are tied to his head .
He quickly remembered the description said by Beltik
So was the paintings of the man . Huge paintings of the man and a few others hung all over the atrium
He must be the Boss
I have read about these people . But nothing or little is known from which galaxy they come from . Certainly from something far away from us
The man continues speaking , and the people get seated quickly
Most of the seats are filled . Inquisitively Philippe seats himself
The mans words echo in the chambers
Friends and colleagues , We enter a glorious era . A period of great prosperity . And those of you who stuck with us through out the years . You are the ones who are gonna enjoy the fruits to your labor . Not me , you . it is you who is going to thrive . The very people who are seated here .
There were a few groans and sighs . Though the majority of the people were seen clapping .
The man continues to speak , Philippe's attention turns elsewhere , the mans voice gets to the background .
Suddenly , a whizzing sound begins to get louder and louder
What must be that be , Philippe looks up . Up above the atrium has a big glass you can look through . Must be the fleets
Philippe looks around . There was no suspicion in any of the people face .
The sound persisted . Maybe I'm the only one able to hear this sound
There was a sudden flash of lights , through the windows on top of the Atrium .
A hovercraft comes blazing in , breaking the window . Large pieces of glass falling in
The people try to escape from the attack .
Philippe lay seated there . The people around him panic and try to run , some crumble . Tripped by the chairs , the rest by the other people
Philippe watches the hovercraft coming down at a very fast speed .
It was heading towards the podium where the Boss was speaking .
The security officers run towards the boss to protect him
The hovercraft , lands directly on the podium . Killing the boss and the people seated at the front
Injuring most of the people who were present at the atrium
There was smoke and fire everywhere .
A huge comes hurdling towards Philippe , at a very fast speed
A piece of metal , hurls towards him and hits his head .
The impact was Substantial
It would have killed an ordinary man . But the impact could only manage to knock him out unconscious
