The team walked back inside the HQ. The insurgents cheered at them as they passed by but Blackshot knew it was not the right time to celebrate. He walked straight towards Chan's office to tell him the next step of the plan.

"Chan, I got to borrow your computers. We are going to create a program that could jam a radar and send it to a nearby radar to blind the enemy for a while." Blackshot says.

"Sure, the comps are just across this room."

Blaclshot and the team left the room and approached the wooden door across the room. Blackshot opened it and peaked inside. He spied a lot of computers aligned in one row.

"So, is there any of you who know how to hack?" Blackshot asked.

"I know how." Jem replied.

"Good, then you are going to help me. I'm going to create a signal jam program while you'll create a radar simulator program. We'll run the program on your sim and pen-test it whether it will work or not." Blackshot says.

"Wait, why do you exactly need a signal jammer program?" Jeth asked.

"To make those guys follow blindly every orders the commander make. I do think that those guys were following the mantra 'Blood-Before-Faction' which is one of the reason why we gotta blind 'em." Blackshot says.

"Right, we'll be right back. You guys do your work." Jeth says as he was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Blackshot asked once more.

"We don't wanna watch you guys input codes that we could not even understand." Jeth says as he left.

"Right." Blackshot commented as he turned to the computer.

Blackshot booted the computer and sank his hands to the keyboard. He started to type codes in the computer. Jem started to create the simulator in his computer.

A couple of minutes later, Blackshot was finished but Jem is still working in his computer.

"Hey, we are not using this computer to play games." Blackshot says.

"What do you mean by that?" Jem asked with a serious face.

"What was taking you so long?"

"Well, I can't debug this stupid program."

"Let me help you with that." Blackshot says as he leaned over to Jem's desk.

In an instant, Blackshot already debugged the program Jem a working on.

"And now you say you can't debug the program." Blackshot says.

"I didn't say 'can't' I--"

"Nevermind. I'll launch the program to that simulator, get it ready. And, I need that IP Address." Blackshot says.

Jem worked on with his computer. After clicking several icons, he finally got the IP Address.

"142.23.121.4, that's the IP." Jem says.

Blackshot looked back at his screen. He opened up the CMD, and typed in 'telnet'. He typed in the IP add but first, he gotta find the open ports of the computer.

Blackshot pulled out the phone on his pocket. Jem took notice of this.

"I didn't know that you have a phone!" Jem says.

"Of course I do. I mean I got three others in my pocket." Blackshot replied.

Blackshot worked on with his phone. He used the IP Scanner app and scanned Jem's IP. After a couple of seconds, he found five open port which includes the simulator's open port.

Blackshot turned to the computer and started working. He typed in the computer's open ports and pressed enter. He successfully gained access to Jem's computer. Blackshot then send typed in the command 'Send Abort' to one of the open ports of the computer. The targetted port was closed after a few seconds. Blackshot repeated the same command to another port until the only port was standing is the one that will lead him to the radar simulation.

Blackshot sent his program to the simulator and successfully jammed it.

"Yes!" Jem exclaimed.

"Alright, all we need to do is to create a device that could store this program." Blackshot says.

"What for?" Jem asked once more.

"We are going to transfer that program to the radar station those clowns were using."

"Leave that to me." Jem says as he stood up from his seat.

Jemerson approached the wooden table on his right. Destroyed electronic devices, electronic chips and salvaged computer parts rests in the surface on the table. Jem began working on with the devices as he attached each parts piece by piece. Blackshot let him work alone peacefully. He began playing a game called 'solitaire' in the computer. Hundreds of years past and still, that game survived for centuries.

A couple of hours passed, Blackshot beat the top score. He glanced at Jem who was still working.

Blackshot stood up and approached him.

"Let me help you with that." Blackshot says as he attached the last piece to its corresponding position.

They created a 2GB flashdrive device that was already enough to transfer the program.

"If you let me, I'll borrow this device you made." Blackshot says once more as he returned to his computer.

Blackshot attached the device on the CPU's port. He worked on with the computers and after a couple of minutes, he already got the program transferred to the device.

Blackshot stood up. He nodded at Jem as he walked out of the door. Jem followed behind him.

Blackshot and Jem walked out of the HQ as they approached Jeth who was finished wiping off the bloodstain in the wall, along with the other insurgents.

"Jeth, we got the program, let's move."
