Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ The Lynching Game (part 3)

[operator 2] - "Go ask them if you want. It isn't my business either way. "

The operator didn't hesitate as he got out of his chair immediately and headed toward the door.

[operator 2] - "Bring me a cup of Tim Horton on the way, ey? "

Meanwhile, down below the base, the Russian credit began to roll on the screen of the central television. While CK cheered and clapped, McCree stared at him with an annoyed expression.

[CK] - "I told you, Russian movies are best, comrade. "

[McCree] - "What the fuck was that? That's just a warm bucket of piss, in my opinion! Ya tried to copy Top Gun Maverick but made it Russian Top Gun on the sky of Ukraine. "

Yelled McCree.

[CK] - "Comrade, please calm down, I know you are mad American pilot lost against superior Russian jets. Factually, data show Russians shot down many American jets, so you cannot call this bullshit. "

[McCree] - "Nah! This can't go any longer! Last time it was that T-80 movie but now, this? They fucking shot down three F-22 in a SU-27! They FUCKING SHOT DOWN THREE F-22 RAPTORS IN A MOTHER FUCKING SU-27! "

Yelled McCree in a fit of rage.

[Senju] - "Calm down, McCree, it's just a movie. "

[McCree] - "I ain't takin' this shit! These dickwads wrote a God damn fanfic and called it based on real events! "

While McCree bickered against the others, Kadyn turned her gaze toward Audrey.

[Audrey] - "Sigh... it was an alright movie. I get it's not accurate historically but he sure is mad about it. "

[Kadyn] - "He's quite passionate, haha. "

[operator] - "If you don't mind me, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to show you something if you could come with me. "

The room suddenly fell silent as all attention turned toward the radio operator. Later, after having heard Khalid's last message, the group was in shock.

[Audrey] - "What do we do? "

[Kadyn] - "I think we should go help him. There is a chance that he is still alive. All on board? "

Said Kadyn without a second thought.

The rest looked at each other before resolutely nodding their heads in agreement.

[Kadyn] - "Ya got a ship we can borrow? "

[operator] - "Yeah, we got a supply ship you can use down in the hangar. "

The second operator turned around and spoke as the group was heading for the door.

[operator 2] - "Crise de Tabarnak, Louis, c'est de ta faute si ceux là s'emmerde avec ces cyberknights. J'en prenne zéro responsibilité s'ils crèvent! "

(*translation: God fucking damn it, Louis, it's your fault if they get tangled with these cyberknights. I'm taking zero responsibility if they get killed because of this!)

While in the air, Louis piloted the craft with McCree as his co-pilot. Using Khalid's last known location according to the transmission, the radio operator put the ship on auto-pilot toward their destination.

[Audrey] - "I didn't expect to be back in action so quickly. I just hope I didn't become too rusty after all this time. "

[CK] - "You'll be fine, comrade! With the power of teamwork, we can easily win. "

[Kadyn] - "Say, CK, you said you came from Transnistria, so why are you acting so... Soviet? "

[CK] - "Ha! Comrade, Transnistria is like Russia and the Soviet Union! We even have the hammer and sickle still on our flag. All we are missing is independence from puny little Moldova. "
