What are the odds? Strange! Very strange, I tell you.
The might of the Bureau was out there. And it was a spectacle to watch. The higher echelon of the Bureau stood in majestic splendor, soaking up the adoration of the Gen Z system hosts in the area. It was always a blessing to see them, coming fromGen Z System Hosts. At least, to the new e generation of Syatem Holders. It was a amazing to see those who had power their skills more than they could ever dream to reach of. The icons in the Bureau were out here and it was estaastic to watch.Last Beatrice, Blink, The Switch amidst the others. The people who came up with the first idea of a system bureau. Or the people who helped to make what was their Bureau an actual thing.Prof Bumju clapped in silence as he watched all of this from a safe distance. He did his not have a system. And indeed, he was tired of asking for one. Not everyone could merge or host a system. Not everyone as compatible enough. And he fell right into that category. Now, he simply enjoyed the process of not asking f
It had been some days since she had come in here. It was roughly about a week and some days, but she did not know for sure. There was literally no way for her to get in touch with the usage of calendars here. The Facility did not care so much for them in that regard. All they had to do was to simply do as they were told and make sure they were best at it. There were the usual issues. They were girls, after all, it was impossible for them not to have such banter. And even though she was the newest in here, she was pretty much used to everything in this place. Blessing smiled to herself while recalling how she had been able to adapt to how things went here. She knew the sounds of the various waking alarms and how they differed from each day. They did sound the same generally.Or so it would seem to someone who had no idea of how things went on here. Not her though. She knew better. She knew the alarm rang a little longer when tiw asMonday morning.It ahd a lazy tone when tiw as weekend.
The Exercises began to build up to a momentum now. The girls were really digging into it as some of them started to perspire while they put in their best. Tabitha on the stage was putting him to work. She was good. Perhaps, if she was not at the Bureau,then she would have done well to be some gym instructor or something like that. She was way too good. Although the number of those who did not have it in her good books continued to rack up every now and then. It seemed more than ever that they were determined to put her under the waters.After all, who didn't know about the notoriety of Tabitha? The fact that she was really good at a lot of things that the Facility held for the girls did not make her stop the nonsense she always had planned out. Back then, things were different for her. They enabled her more than ever. After all, only a few of them could actually stand up her nonsense She was indispensable. Until Blessing came around. Now the entire facility could see that the pr
“Who’s with me?” The loud voice of Monsieur Louise rent the fervor of the girls. Most of them stopped for a brief moment to regard him. He was not all that familiar to them. Yes, they knew of his relation to the Bureau. Nobody could just barge in here without being connected with the Bureau, one way or the other. The thing about this one was that he was not one of the people who spoke in this place. He was the head of the hybrid division, that they knew. Beyond that, he was just another nameless staff member in the Facility. The only people they related with oftentimes were either Monsieur Dayo or the Handler that dealt with their day-to-day activities. Outside of that, they knew him nowCertainly, they didn't know if he was in the clear to ask such a question. And what exactly was he asking it for?The frantic expression on the face of the Handler, Ms. Rachel, told them what they needed to know. They smiled, the ones who couldn't afford that luxury of a smile simply breathed away.
The call of Monsieur Louise disrupted the fever of the girls. It distracted Tabitha who scowled at him for this.She was trying to keep herself out of the bad books of Ms Rachel and yet, the whole thing was to come do this?In frustration, she exhaled, plating her hands at her waist. She looked past him to Ms Rachel hoping to see something that would inform her of what to do with this. She was the coach, as far as this training session was involved. As they had only gone for the time range of, say 15 minutes now. This man had no right to just come to break that up for her. At least, give her some time to show Blessing that she deserved the spot as the top dog in here.However, she was disappointed after noting the defeated look Ms. Rachel shot her. So much for her being as tough as nails in the Facility.Now, having him, she would not do anything to live up to her reputation. The reputation she built up with her. The reputation that pointed her to be so annoying and always wanting to
The laughter and the cheeriness of the girls was worth everything to the ears of Monsieur Louise. It was relaxing to hear their gibberish chatter as they hugged one another. Their smiles lit up the atmosphere, soaking up the warmness of the afternoon sun.Seeing the many mix of tennis shorts and tank tops of the girls under the sun bright a smile to himself. Even the Handlers could not help but feel among, soaking in their excitement as they smiled to one another. Such a day was rare and they were all determined to enjoy it.Well, except for one person.The second person in command, Ms Rachel. She walked up to Monsieur Louise, tapping him gently from behind. He turned to her, his own smile faltering as he saw her. He leaned towards her, his hands at his back while his face showed he expected her to say something. A scolding perhaps.“You are doing this wrong.” Ms Rachel started.She looked past him, away from the electrically illuminated inside of the Facility to the outside where t
Outside of the Facility in Mountain Elgon range was pretty much wistful to Blessing. The taste of dust in her tongue, the sight of landmarks and the peak on the mountain covered by a haze under the heat of the afternoon sun. The memories she had in the time when she was first here came back to mind. She never in her wildest dream thought she would be in this country. Talk less of even visiting a mountain range. But here he was. She was not only visiting a mountain range, she was living right next to it. And the fact that nobody, no stray hikers had come to the Facility surprised her.Well… Maybe they did. Who knew, after all, the only place she knew in the facility was where she was required to be at. That is, from her dorm to the dining room, then to the training grounds to the System trial room. Not much for her to be around in the sense here she would know if this had happened. Still, even though she knew that she had nothing on it, the mere thought could not be shaken off her
The pilot smiled at Blessing, tapping her by the shoulders. It was warm, bringing back memories of the first time they ever met. The first trip they ever took.On that trip, she had the time of her life. Though not in a positive way. After all, who wanted to be in a chopper where live rounds were shattered on it?Certainly not her. However, seeing him, the memory of that time came back like it was just yesterday. The stoic manner he responded to her, her queries and worries. None of that was present as at now. In fact, if she had not been on the flight, then, she would have argued this was not him. This was not the same stoic pilot she flew with. The pilot who left the Comanche Chopper just to go outside and engage some fighter jets. She was happy to be here though. The memories she had come up with were different. Much different than she would have ever made if she was still back with Lekan. Though, she missed him so much. Still, the memories in here m, the other side of life she
