No one else.“You do not be so sure about that, there are many things needed should be consider.”“I will not stop until I convince you.

To get the leadership of Visionaries.”“I only answering to the clamor of the people. There are many things that you should know about Mr. Mechanic evil deeds.”“You mean that you are planning this for a long time.”“Yes, but because I have no evidence against him. I have no choice but keep silent about this for a long time. Your openly admission of interest in his position, make him to act recklessly. I only needed to wait for him, in contacting Minister Aidelb.”“I needed to admit that I never suspected him as the spy. It only means for a very long time we our dancing in his palm.”“We are become a fool. And because of our foolishness, we lost Mr. Bartender.” I can sense the regrets in his voice.<
Catalyst Partner
“You still thinking how you can evade in becoming a leader of Visionaries. It is not your decision to make. If the Visionaries, ask for it. You left no choice but to obey or be treated as our enemy. I admit, You had more followers than anyone in the council. Maybe I want it or not. You had a big chance to be our next leader.”“Did you already change your mind? Giving me high hopes. You sound like your brother, convincing me.”“No. I am stating the fact here. Sorry for make you think that I already change my mind about you. I am still your greatest critic. That is my role. Even you accept the position or not. No one can change my mind. I still don’t trust you. I will not forget that you are an outsider, a former member of Atheos.”“What make you hate me that much? Did I done something that hurt you?” I finally told her about this. This thought makes me awake at the middle of the night. Thinking that my brother

As Zyne told me about I cannot escaped anymore. I have no choice but to accept the position. I won the election. As circumstances is now offering, I need to use this position to my advantage. In some point we had similar goal but different in how think we can achieve our goal. I am now, standing in front of the crowd. They eagerly waiting for speech as new true leader of Visionaries. “I would like to thank everyone in giving me this opportunity to serve. As an outsider I never dream that you will put in this delicate position. It is well-known that this position demand more than skills and abilities.

Atheos who steal our dreams and future. Allow me to ask for help.

Catalyst Verdict
Dean you are making me laugh. You think highly of this man. What you know about him? You never know him enough to trust him. What have you done? You let an outsider to rule the visionaries. How you can be sure that he does not different from me?” He is trying to attack me.“It is not you to decide. We already made the decision.” Dean could not believe even in his last hour, how arrogant Mr. Mechanic acts.“Dean stops trying to persuade him. There is nothing left for him. Visionaries does not deserve a member like. A total disgrace for the cause.” I finally turned my back at him.I can still hear Mr. Mechanic voice. He is shouting. “Do not trust him. You do not know what he is capable to do. He is only using the group for his personal vendetta.”I am surprised in Mr. Mechanic last words. I act like it does not affect me. I need to conduct deeper investigation about the secret connection between Atheos and Visionaries. I could not let someone like Mr. Mechanic infiltrate our group.“I w
Catalyst Compromise
We crawl, jump, and run to get away in falling debris of the building. We are running away when laser guns are firing toward our direction.“They are already here.” As we are hiding in a big rock. The people who are wearing masks are keep firing on us.“What we can do, now?” Dean is firing back at them.“Do not worry. It just the people who follow Mrs. Mithrage here. Mr. Scarface are already prepared a plan for this scenario.”“You mean that you never trust them?”“I trust the people of Luna but preparing another plan is not bad, at all. I do trust the people of Luna but not Regerry. I will never trust him.”A moment later, a vehicle from Visionaries is firing at the enemies.“Finally, our savior has come.” Dean finally release a deep sigh.“You are right. Our savior finally comes at the right moment.”As we are running towa
Catalyst Gaining The Trust
Everyone seems so quiet, now. I know they are plotted something behind my back. No one have the courage to say it, in my face. They are exchanging look.“Okey. Please tell me. I know that you have something to tell me.” I now sitting comfortable in my chair.Waiting for someone to speak. A deafening silence is the answer. To avoid wasting my time. I decided that I should the one who speak now. Clearing my throat. “Honestly, I already heard your proposition. And I completely agree. I know that my last action is calling for my apology. Gentlemen. I believe I owe your apology in making a careless decision. It is my failure in my part risking my safety without thinking my position. So, I decided to have my personal bodyguard with me all the time. Like you said, I will not leave without the permission of the respected council.”“Gentlemen.

Not the real one , because I cannot do anything if she still here.“Sorry but I already here. Like you said I have my hidden agenda.” She now sitting comfortable in the chair in front of me. She gives the impression that she will never leave as long she did not get what she wants.“Okey, what do you want from me?” Honestly, I felt irritated by her questions. Or maybe somehow felt threatened. I do not know how my patience last. Sharing my secret to her. That’s why I am afraid if she stays longer. Plans will be destroyed.“There is something bothering me. I needed to hear it from you. What you took risks in giving the Luna representative a chance to have a conversation with you?”Yes. I know that I needed to be honest with my answer. She can easily spot any lies that I possibly make.“I was hoping that they are still a chance for us to reach an

When the truth hurts
“I think I already know about that…” I slowly stand up from my monitor. Slowly walking toward the chair , at his opposite direction. “It about Zyne?”“ Yes. That’s correct. I think my sister…” He finds it hard choosing the right words.“Zyne , well I understand her. And I needed to admit she had the point.”Dean could not believe in what his hearing. “ What are you talking about? No one died from the last incident. There is no need to blame , yourself? Major Vanhur is being rescued by the Atheos military.”“Yes , you are right he is not yet dead, but he is paralyzing for the rest of his life. It is more painful that death.” Giving him the report from one of our spies in Atheos. “ I am talking about the future. I will admit that giving the chance to kill someone from Atheos. I will never hesitate to do what I needed to do.”“Well, I can unde

To paralyze the system of their vehicle.”“What a brilliant plan.” He patted my shoulder.A moment later. The young commander is running toward me.“Sir, here are the lists of the passengers of the military plane.”“Thank you, very much.” As I slowly reading the name one by one. One name caught my attention. “ Major Vanhur?”The name I mentioned make Dean turnaround. He almost steps away from me.“What? Did I hear it ,correctly?”“It sounds familiar to you.

Missing in Action
“It is means waving a full-scale war against them. We are not fully prepared for that….”The council members are all bickering to each other.“I am not saying that we will implement the plan. All I want you to be prepared.”My words calm them down.“Okay, give me twelve hours. I will do everything to rescue, Mr. Scarface.”When everybody is already left. Dean came closer to me. “Are you sure of that ?How do you think you can locate Mr. Scarface?”“I will use one of my tricks.”“What are you talking about? And I also want to remind you that you are not permitted to leave . How can you possibly locate Mr. Scarface?”“You do not need to remind me. And I have no plan to leave this place. But I needed your help.”“Sure, anything I can do.”We are now , walking in an underground tunnel under our base. “I am

Retaliation
“Please, continue…” As I sit on my chair. He handed me down the files of the investigation.“The explosion was made by the supporters and family of Minister Aidelb. They want to force the Atheos to avenge the death of the Minister. It is the reason for the sudden decision made by Prime Minister Reginald.”“He wanted to appease his supporter.” Closely watching all the evidence presented by Dean. “He is so afraid to lose their support.”“Not really… It just Minister Aildelb holds much information against him. We are talking his crimes committed against the people of Luna. Declaring war against us, is the only way he can save the Atheos to crumbled. He holds many dirty secrets that we are expected.”“The family of the late minister knows this but remain silent?” I looked at him.“They chose to remain silent. Not until now… That they can

Test of Fire
“We should expect that it will happen. There is not enough reason for us to make. We need to face.” Avoiding their questioning look.“It just a simple blackout. Why it led to this kind of tragedy?”Zyne questions wake us up.“I admit, I did not expect that sabotaging their power supply using malware can cause a massive damage.” Mr. Scarface scratching his bald head.“I do not want to make any assumption without a careful investigation.” I could finish my word when Dean call my attention.“Ishvi, the council is requesting your presence immediately.”“They could not wait any longer?”“No, they are bombarding me with messages requesting an urgent meeting with you.”“Can I make any excuse? The preparation is still not yet finished.”“Preparation for what? What are you thinking of?”I just keep my silence.As we expected the emergency meeting with the council could no longer postponed.

Our attention is now on the monitor.In the monitor, we can see the whole city of Luna. It shows the different key location of Atheos. A total blackout, people running to all direction. The authorities of Atheos could not control the sudden confusion among its people.“How long it will take?” I am now, looking to Mr. Scarface on my right.“For a couple of minutes.”“It will be enough?”A ticking sound is running on our background. Dean is busy working on our main communication system.“Yes, I already calculated the time. It is enough for me to fix, our communication system.” He did not look at us while talking.“I think that you are the one who need to prepare. As long Dean fixed our communication devices. There is a need for you to address our people.” Mr. Scarface is now mocking me. While he is looking at Zyne. “You will need an acceptable reason so that people wil

“What do you mean? I have not done anything to harm you.” Trying to calm her down.“Nothing? Huh. Why you give me the full authority in managing the Health and Nutrition Department?”“Well, it is because I fully trust in your ability.”“Full authority. Are you aware what it means?”“Yes, I know. Giving you the full authority, it is means you does not need my approval. You should feel happy about it. And does not need the council approval to execute your plan.”“That is the problem. You are leading me into a delicate situation. You do not have any idea how the council run.”“Listen. I am fully aware of the council. I already make them understand what my reason for giving you the position.”“Of course, they agree with you but how about their feelings. They felt that I get this position because of you and my brother. Not because of my own ability.”She is finally sitting in front of me. Her voice became relax, now.“Yes, maybe.

The Spy
I smile at his reaction. Even before he decodes the files, I already laid some precautionary measures regarding my privacy. There is nothing to worry about my security. But I follow in what he said. “What is your deduction based on your investigation?”“I found out that they are spyware embedded on our communication. Someone might listen to us.” He almost whispering to my ears.I distance myself a little bit from him. “We had the same assumption.”“Do you mean you already know about the spyware?” He is confused for my action.“Not as clear as your report being presented. I had the suspicion, but I cannot pinpoint where is the main problem. It is the reason that I needed your help.”“What are you planning to do with it?”“I also want to correct you. It is not someone. But I had a suspicion that we should refer it as something. It is not a person. It is machine.”Mr. Scarface could not comprehend what I am talking about. He fell silent. When door automatically open.

Accountability
It makes me smile. “Well, I want to emphasize to everyone to be accountable in their own decision. Make them realized that we all part of decision-making process. Every voice should be heard.”“Are you not afraid that giving this opportunity to them which means sharing your power with them?” He cannot look straight into my eyes.It was so easy to presume. He did not act on his own. This interview could be a trap. Or to test me. A cunning device of the council.“I do not believe in the word power. We have different positions, but each position had an equal importance to attain our common goal.”“What your plan for the Visionaries? What things we can expect from you?”“Expectation means pressure.” Smiling at him. He felt embarrassed from his question. To make him comfortable. I laugh at him. “You are so serious. I am just joking. I know what you mean by that. Of course, it is very clear to me what our goal. We need to eradicate the system implement by the Atheos. To punish all members
