" Any sign of them ?" Wayne was preparing to leave.
Hari was still sleeping, sun was rising.
" No " said NOVA
" Then it's time to leave, prepare the Falcon. " Said Wayne
" Hey...." He tapped on Hari's shoulder
He woke up " Oh you are leaving ?"
" Yeah ! " Said Wayne " Do you want to come with me ? I know a camp. They might take you in. " Asked Wayne
" No... Thanks though. I'm good on my own. " He replied
" Well ok then, I really appreciate your help. It's been a pleasure. " Wayne offered his hand
" I hope we will cross paths again. " Hari shook Wayne's hand
Wayne was about to leave, suddenly he remembered something " Hey if someone ask about me, you didn't see me "
" Don't worry, they will never find me " said Hari
Leaving the building, Wayne started walking towards the jeep. There he waited for the Falcon to arrive. It arrived within a few minutes. He attached the plutonium to the falcon. But the Falcon could not carry both him and the plutonium at once. So he sent it back to the ship and began walking eastward.
He contacted Samuel and told him the plutonium on it's way.
" Any movements near the building ?" Wayne enquired about Zy's building. He kept one drone there for surveillance
" They are still inside." NOVA replied
" Good " said Wayne
However, it wasn't good. Zy was furious. She wanted to go outside. Her guys advised her to hold off a bit longer. She was losing patience.
" Ma'am what's the plan ?" Asked Ron
" There is no plan , you have only one mission , kill that son of a bitch. " Said Zy
" But how....? We don't know where he is." said Ron
" I don't care, I want you to find him. Take the jeep, run or fly. I don't care. FIND HIM. "
" We are still unsure of how we were hit. What if we get shot again while we leave ? He wasn't alone, someone was helping him, maybe someone from another camp. " said Ron
" He went east. That means he is going to the city, to the middle. Call Samuel." said Zy
" It's Zy..... Over " she told Samuel via radio
" Hey.... We didn't want anything now ..... Over " Samuel replied
" I want to talk about something else , someone else.... His name is Wayne..... Over " said Zy
" Who ?..... There is nobody in my camp with that name... Over " Samuel replied
" I hope you are telling me the truth, otherwise you know what will happen, don't you ?..... Over " Said Zy
" I don't understand...." Said Samuel
" What happened ?..... Over " asked Samuel
" Nothing... I'm out..." She handed the radio to a soldier
" If he is not from Samuel's group, then there is only one possibility. " said Ron
" You mean Hunter's ? No chance. " Zy replied
Suddenly the soldier came back " It's Samuel " he gave the radio to Zy
" What ?" She asked
" I need to tell you something... Over " said Samuel
" I'm listening..." She replied
" Remember about the crash ? " said Samuel
" Yeah !! Did you investigate about the aircraft ?...... Over " Asked Zy
" I send a team, unfortunately they haven't returned. They told me they saw someone there.... I told them to investigate ....Over " Said Samuel " Samuel explained
" Did they say anything .....Over " Asked Zy
" No...no.... It was radio silence since.... Over " Said Samuel
" We should talk, in person... There is something you should know..... Over " said Zy
" When ?.... Over " Asked Samuel
" As soon as possible, leave now. I will send the coordinates soon. I want you to come alone... Over " She replied
" Ok... Over and out " said Samuel.
Zy called Ron " Hey we are leaving now. We will meet Samuel at the Almo building. I want you to secure the place. "
" So it's not them " said Ron
" Maybe... Maybe not.... I need to talk to Samuel. There is something about him. Something doesn't add up " said Zy
" What do you mean ? " Asked Ron
" Lets go ! you will know when you know " Replied Zy
She told Samuel where to meet. Sara was there this whole time, listening to the conversation between Samuel and Zy
" Are you really going alone ?" Asked her
" Yeah, I don't want her to suspect anything " he replied
" Be safe. " Said Sara
" When he returns, let him know how things are going so far and about my meeting with Zy. " Said Samuel
" Ok.. Come back safe " she hugged Samuel
He packed up few supplies and left
Wayne was still walking, the falcon haven't reached the ship yet.
" Any movements yet ?" Asked Wayne
" Only inside " NOVA replied back
After a few minutes Falcon came back, Wayne went back to the ship.
When he reached there he saw Sara, she was standing there alone.
" Where is everyone ? " Asked Wayne
" Back at the camp. You already exceeded the time. We told people 3 days, it's almost a week. We are running out of lies " said Sara
" I know, but things got complicated. You alone here ?" Asked Wayne
" There are a few people inside, including Ash, and they are all asleep." Sara replied
" I hope there wasn't any damages " said Wayne
" Why don't you find yourself " said Sara
" By the way I want to ask you something. " Said Sara
Wayne looked at her with his eyebrows raised
" We will talk later " said Sara
" Ok " Wayne walked went inside
He entered the ship saw few people sleeping on the floor, Ashton was sleeping there with the sword right next to him. That's when he saw her. He went back out
" What is Ray doing here ? " He asked Sara
" She doesn't like staying in the camp without me, so I took her here. " Sara replied
" This not a safe environment for a kid, what were you thinking ? With everything is going on how could you take her here ? " Asked Wayne
" Look she already lost almost everything.She won't feel comfortable around anyone else. She didn't eat anything after we left. She wasn't talking to anyone. I didn't have a choice. You and I both didn't want her here. But....." Explained Sara
" I didn't even want you here. You can go back. It was your own decision to come here."
" Why the hell all this happening to me ?" Wayne told himself
" Samuel is not here, Zy set up a meeting " said Sara
" What about the progress ? " Asked Wayne
" We did everything the AI told us to do. But you already knows that, didn't you ?" Asked Sara
" Yeah whatever " said Wayne
" I need to ask you something " said Sara
" Now what ?" Wayne turned around annoyingly
" The AI told me something unusual,it told me that it knew me from before. " Said Sara
" What ??? What did she say ?" Wayne was curious, he didn't know anything about that
" Nothing else, it didn't say anything else about it. I asked many times, but it said nothing else " said Sara
" Hey NOVA, how did you know Sara ?" Asked Wayne
" Sorry captain, it's classified " said NOVA
" CLASSIFIED ?" Asked Wayne again
" You don't have the authorisation to access those information. " Said NOVA
Wayne sat there thinking, but he couldn't figure out the connection between Sara and the ship. There was only one possibility. But it was impossible to nothing.
" No chance ,that would be impossible " He thought
" Any leads ? " Asked Sara
" No, I don't have the authority " said Wayne
" I thought you were the captain of the ship " said Sara
" I didn't create the AI. I'm still learning about this ship " said Wayne
" Mhhmm....." Sara walked away
Wayne went inside again, he wandered around, saw the progress, the ship is almost completed. All is left is to fix the engine, replacing the core with plutonium.
" How long should it take for her to fly if the experiment is successful ? " Asked Wayne
" Panels are fixed and battery is at 73 % so if it works, in less than 30 minutes " NOVA replied
" So we can leave tomorrow, right ? " Said Wayne
" Based on the calculations, yeah " NOVA replied
" We need to get rid of these people. They can't be here tomorrow. " Said Wayne
" How are you going to do that ? they won't leave that easy. " Said NOVA
" We need to find a way. " said Wayne
" We could help them " Said NOVA
" We could, but we won't. What's the matter with you ? You are so eager to help them. I asked you how you knew Sara before, but you couldn't tell me, saying I didn't have the clearance. I will help them if you tell me everything. " Said Wayne
" You can be angry at me, Captain. But I'm not real. The person who created me programmed me in this way. There are certain protocols I need to follow, my actions are based on codes, not emotions. "
" I won't even know that my creator made a hidden code to protect these people. According to my current behavior, my creator cares about them, especially Sara. My creator may want to protect them. There is nothing I can do if that person wants to do that. " Said NOVA
" Whatever it is, I can't help these peoples. We have a mission. " Wayne replied
" Are there anything that make them sleep for a bit ? Like sleeping gas ? " asked Wayne
" It's not enough for this many people. We can use the drones. Due to the fact that they are inside, that is not possible. We must bring them out, all at once. It's a risky move " NOVA replied
" Then we will make all of them come outside. When the time is right the drones will knock out all of them at same time. And we will be gone before they know it. Just like what we did with Zy " said Wayne
" Alright captain " NOVA replied
" To protect them from the zhaxelons, we will hide them somewhere. And I'm hoping that you will be on my side." said Wayne
" I am. " Replied NOVA
