Four hours have passed since the team arrived at the airport ; no sign of the convoy nearby, no communication from them either . Now Goji is waiting outside the pne as Joy communicates with HQ through the long-range radio of the pne . The sun has already passed its highest point when finally Joy comes out. - Any info, Joy ? - *Sigh* Nothing ; they haven't received any signal either . The drones also don't see anything in the zone.... What do you think, Goji ? You are the second in command here ; give an idea. - Two options : they haven't exited the boratory yet, or they died in there . I talked with our boys who reinforced and wiped the zone. There is a vehicle left behind in the st evac, military in good shape, and they encountered enough fuel to st for a trip... We can go - you, me, and a squad to investigate, and we'll leave the other soldiers defending here . There is enough ammunition and supplies for them to st ; what do you think? - That's ... an idea, but leaving the rest of the team is dangerous . We already had a situation where the gnolls ambushed a team . If the hollow armor monster gets here, they will surely y siege to the airport.... - Then tell them if they see any massive movements of monsters nearby with the drone, that they take off and leave us behind. We go , you and me only, no squad with us . As the soldiers said, it's about an hour to the b... - That's like the worst idea.... If they surround the airport, we would be stranded in no man's nd. What happens if there are survivors? How do we transport them, huh? - Well... you know how to drive, no? We can surely drive toward the safe zones nearby... - * Sigh * This is... a bad idea. Just pray that we aren't left behind. Thirty minutes ter , Joy finds herself with a headache . She is driving through the highway toward the b... or she is supposed to, if there weren't so many cars in the way ! As for Goji , she doesn't know how to drive... so at this moment, she is moving the cars to the side of the road as she encounters them. She is pretty sure she would have gotten there faster running, but Joy convinced her they needed it for the evacuation of assets if they encounter any.... Fifty minutes ter, they reach the perimeter of the b.... and it isn't looking good. The defenses around the b are torn to shreds, fire is in some buildings, and the defense empcements are devastated. But the central building isn't in such bad shape ; Joy pulls the car beside the entrance to the building.... - What do you think, Goji? Any chance they are still alive in there? *With calm professionalism, Joy talks as she scans the area, floating above the ground to see if she can see anything.* - More chances than I had given them before . I will enter; you cover the entrance . I'm better in close-quarters combat . Send an explosion to the sky if enemies are near, and I will... blow up a wall if I need you . The radio isn't working, no? - Nope , still dead . Be careful , Goji. And if you encounter survivors, don't be mean . Be calm and try not to scare them, okay ? - Okay, okay... *With a final exhale, Goji finally enters the building.* The first thing she sees is a desk... like all the buildings she's entered , so she passes through the hallways of the first floor . Papers are on the floor, some gss lies broken near the windows . The second floor isn't much better ; bs are there . For what she can remember, this is a pce that researched nuclear things.... She is pretty sure they would have loved dissecting her, as she passes through all the building until she gets back to the first floor in front of that desk . All buildings have this... an idea forms in her head as she directs toward the desk . The computer there is on, and papers are around the desk. As she navigates through the carpets of information, she finally gets to the thing she was looking for : information before the attacks were made and the signal lost. Near the plutonium facility, there is a bunker containing an investigation about the Gates . With this new information, she exits the building and looks for Joy. She catches her on top of a roof, looking toward the highway... - Any monsters on the horizon, Joy? Or are you thinking about me? *A smirk is pstered on Goji's face as a visible frown appears on Joy's face.* - You ftter yourself , lizard girl . You encountered something, I hope. - Yeah, a boratory inside a bunker, near the plutonium stockpile . They were investigating the gates before the signal was lost. - Then let's get going, no? The duo moves through the rest of the facility toward the bunker, easy to find as defenses are pstered around the entrance. But it seems the nuclear materials were dumped in the desert because they didn't find any . The door is made of solid metal, practically impenetrable.... If the door was closed, they enter quietly through the open door . The b was top tier, much of what Goji hasn't seen in her short life with this body . The more they go inside , the darker the b gets until they reach a big room where tens of computer servers are, and a simple computer on top of a desk is sitting . The screen is bck except for a single dot blinking... - Well... this is creepy, isn't it? I have seen too many movies for this crap... - What movies have you seen that make you think this is creepy ? The ones I see are different in all senses. - That's because I only showed you animated ones, overgrown lizard . If I put on something more serious, what crazy ideas would you get? Goji is the first to take a step closer to the screen , and before she can investigate, the dot quickly gives way to words.... Hello, Hunter Joy and Error: Humanoid form not identified .... Please state your name. - Well, what are you waiting for, Goji? Write your name. - Is it needed? Now I see why this is creepy ... *Goji enters her name... or at least the one the blue panel has given to her.* Gojira... searching.... New entry in the database .... Hello Hunter Gojira, I'm the supercomputer with AI integrated. "GREEN."
