We are now sitting in the table. All the visionaries key members are here except Mr. Scar face. " How long we need to confine , Mr. Scarface?" Dean with deep concern in his voice. "It was never my plan to confine him for a long time. I will release him before dinner." Checking the statistical data in my hand. " Thankfully, we are already prepared this base before Atheos attack us." Mr. Mechanic who also serious in studying the statistical data. " One thing make me worried about. How Gen. Smile know our location. The firepower he brought with him. A clear message that he never intent to let us , live.Sparing no one." "What are trying to say? There a possible spy among us?" Dean nervous voice. I just feel silent. Waiting for Mr. Mechanic to continue. Watching the reactions of other men on the table. " I mean it is not the first time. We should not forget what happened to Mr. Bartender. Thinking about the possibility of spies among us, give me chilling effect. It sometimes make m
" Stick to the plan.Never worry, we slowly getting there. Regerry actions only leave us to fight. We can not tolerate such kind of behavior to continue. He doesn't deserve to be in his position. We must end this battle as soon as possible." Regerry actions toward Gen. Amiel troops give powerful motivation to Visionaries to fight .He keeps reminding us the reason what we fighting them. Mr. Mechanic was sitting in the chair. With his close , I can sense his hate toward Atheos.."How pitiful his follower ..." "We end this meeting.Everyone can back to their working station, now." One by one they leave the conference room. I can sense their reborn enthusiasm to fight the Atheos. My footsteps echoing in the lobby. Dean followed me. Together we are walking toward to the direction of Mr. Scarfacw's room. Dean broke the silence between us." Did you think Mr. Scar face accepts your decision that easily?" "That's is the min reason , That why I want to talk to him. There something that I need
There a moment of silence us. "It is not an easy question," Mr. Scarface distorted face."Well for me... " He released a deep sigh. "I think. No. I Believe it is the system that makes the person evil. What a mere individual can do if he is born within the society run by the corrupt system."I turned my back to them. Standing still. Mr. Scarface answer got my attention. "Yes, it is an interesting topic. I do respect your opinion. As an individual we had free will. We have a chance to choose. Maybe not on the large scale. But every minute of our life we always making choices. All we have need to do. We need to be accountable in our decision. Let us admit what we have today are just consequences of our decision in the past."" But not all consequences we are suffering today are the product of our personal decisions. We suffered because of the decisions made, without our consent. " Looking away from us.Dean laid his book. " There are many factors we need to consider. Not all decisions ar
A drastic situation needs a drastic move. We all know that Regerry will never think twice about doing evil against the citizens. But it is another story about his trusted allies. He needed their support. He knows that he cannot rule without them. We decided to attack one of his bases. We are crawling in the deep night. Using the dark in our advantage. We need their food. We are sure before he destroyed the food pills. He left enough amount for the doers who on his side. Shortage means control. We also sure he had plenty of it , for those who will switch side. A hungry stomach means an obedient soul. Maybe the rapid growth of technology makes our lifestyle different from our ancestors. But same instincts of survival make us and keep us alive. Human beings who worship their stomach. They are the one who easiest to control. It is the main reason for him to do his action.“We already in our position.” Talking in my earpiece. “You know what you are going to do. I want to remind your onl
“If there is no door, we can make one.” Dean a bomb in one of the walls.I needed to distance myself while hiding from the expected explosion. A loud sound followed clicks of a second.“You also prepared.” While cleaning my head from the dusts resulted from the explosion.“Yes. But there still no room for celebration. “He faces the military robots running towards us.“Run! We have no time left as I glance into my watch.” It is turning red. It means the missile is just a mile away.We run as fast we could into debris. I saw the glimpse of hope. One of aircraft is flying toward us. They are pointing their weapon to the military robots behind us. They are firing at them. I can see the hand of Mr. Scarface. I quickly grab it. I finally inside the aircraft. We both held our hands, helping Dean.We finally fly at the opposite direction. The missile finally arrived in its destination. A blast of explo
I open my eyes. I almost blinded by light. I slowly move my toes. Little by little moving my body. Beeping sound of machine. Different sound of footsteps.“You finally awake. It means you are fully recovered.” A woman wearing doctor’s uniform.“Yes. I guess. How long I am sleeping?” I slowly moving up from the healing capsule.“Well for almost two hours. What make you so special?”“Special? Huh. What do you mean by that?” I can finally see her face. Her long, curly, brown hair.“For your information. We only use the healing capsule for life threatening injuries or diseases. In your situation you have few scratches and fatigue. Days of rest are enough for you to recover.”“Thank you, Ms. Zyne for taking care of me. It was not my personal decision. The council decides it.” Showing her a friendly smile.She did hesitate to show her distrust.“Well,
“A delusion that we needed in time of chaos. Losing hope is worse than death. Hope is the spark that can ignites a broken soul.” “You always sound as a philosopher to me. A rebel or innovator, what will you became?” “It depends on what my leader asks from me.” “Leader? Are you not contented with Mr.Mechanic?” I am little bit surprise in how our conversation progress. “Yes. A leader who is more than its role. It is the only way we can change the system. He should embody our dream. The promise of our future.” “It is sound that you are asking to much. Human had own weaknesses. Leadership opens to unlimited temptations. It will be hard to find such leader. Not in our time.” “May I inform you that some member of Visionaries already set their eyes on you.” “What are you talking about? A mutiny? I will never agree in your plan. Visionaries could not get any advantage in changing its leadership. It is not the right time. I am not who you think I am.” I already rising my voice. Giving e
Without opportunity, their abilities would have been wasted, and without their abilities, the opportunity would have been arisen in vain.The PrinceI know that there is nothing I can do about my present situation. Yes. I know I fall into their trap. I need to change my strategy. I cannot run anymore. I can use this situation to my own benefit. If it needed to get my revenge, I am willing to play their game. Visionaries had its secrets. If they want me to be their pawn, so be it. Maybe it their game but I am the one who will make the rules.I keep my distance from Dean, he is busy examining the writings. I am now fully understood, he just tests my limitation. He doesn’t have any idea that he is correct in one thing. I can fully understand the writings.“Mr. Scarface, I think you need to free us. Now.”He is surprised.“What?!Do you mean you already decipher the writings.”I will not hide anymore. I am willing to fight and use people to hasten my revenge.“Yes, I do. I want to have the
