Earth Warriors (Undergoing Revision)

Chapter 72 - A Matter of Time

"Why call it that? You mean it's not even real?" Seiner only waggles his index finger left and right while shaking his head. 

"Wrong again, mate. It's because of the numerous false exits and routes it has in order to deter prisoners. They're even willing to sacrifice a handful of their own troops to make the deceptions more believable as well." Murmuring is heard from across the room from this revelation as Seiner scrolls back to the mainland, clicking on two dots, one below San Clemente island, and one near Skull Rock. It shows the images of the two fearsome machines that shot down the planes and other trespassing vehicles in the zones. 

"I'm sure you're familiar with them, myself included. But these are the Akait and the Viekhardt, said to be named after mythical creatures from ancient Zlocan mythos. As usual, I prefer if we call them the Maria de Manta and the Ammit respectively. After all, they resemble some of the mythical creatures from our world." Murmuring once more as Seiner places the map back to its default position as he stands in front of the crowd once more. "I'd like to talk more, but we need to act fast." 

"Alright, now the next step is to figure out the strategy to cripple and secure all these places in so we can pave the way to Los Angeles. Based on the scale we have seen so far, it appears that using the most covert means is the best way to go. This is what I propose to be an eight-step plan for this operation," Sylvester says as he walks near Seiner while looking at the map on the computer screen. 

"The steps are..." 

"Easy, first one is what I call; securing the keys. It's what you did when you managed to unlock files with the quantum computers back in Langley. Given how troublesome the jammer is, this is what I propose for step two; ascend from darkness." 

"Oh, going for one big fish first, right?" Eddie replies as he steps up from his chair yet doesn't raise his hand. 

"Yes. Going any further in other of these bases, no matter how big and small, would hinder our forces a lot,  even with the miracles present by Seiner and G.o.D. squad. As such, I recommend that the next course of action is taking care of Wolowitz. By using a select group of operatives, we will carry out the next step on our road to liberate the city. And once it's all said and said, we continue by heading to the rest of their toys so we can prove to them not to screw with us any longer. Am I right, ladies and gentlemen?" Sylvester is answered by many calls of "Yes sir!" across the room, all with clear and firm tones as they stand up with proper postures. Sylvester smirks at this. 

"You're goddamn right we can as long we have everyone we can rely on. You're dismissed until further notice!" Another round of "Yes sir!" are heard, and from that, all the soldiers, officers and Warriors step up from their seats, ready to continue with their usual routines until further notice. Sylvester approaches Seiner and taps him on his shoulder. 

"You show quite some promise, young man. If anything happens, you can rely on us or your fellow teammates," Sly says. Seiner only shrugs while growing at him, for such things like that can look risky for someone like him. As such, he departs without replying to him. He then eyes Amira as he's about to reach for the exit, in which he steadily walks to her. 

"Amira, can I talk to you for a moment?" Sylvester asks. 

"Oh, I sure will." Amira then heads to Sylvster's place while holding to a table next to him while holding the cane with his right hand. "What is wrong?" 

"You know, I heard about what happened between you and Walter. You nearly came to blows, at least mainly on his part. I'm glad it didn't escalate but..." Sylvester gazes to his back, as he breathes steadily from what he's trying to deliver to Amira. Perhaps something that concerns her kind of nature.
