A maze
The inside of the building was nothing like I expected. A sole light bulb hung overhead flickered as it struggled to illuminate the corners. The floor was concrete and dusty; echoing the emptiness all around. It seemed like an empty warehouse. Only that the armed man with the folder in hand walked towards a staircase in the side, descending down it. I glanced at Anya, she had the same thought in mind.That must be it!We decided to wait till this man leaves before investigating whatever and wherever that staircase led to. If we followed behind him right now, on these concrete floors, it is more likely that he'll hear our footsteps. A mere quarter an hour passed before this man returned. He was without the folder he had in hand before. We simply watched as he walked to the door, still armed, and knocked twice. The metallic door creaked open from outside after several clanking, unlocking noises. And just like that the man left, leaving us alone in the building. "Hu
The unusual
The ride inside the supply van was anything but comfortable. Anya and I remained crouched in opposite corners amongst several wooden crates while the vehicle bounced violently across the rough terrain. The invisibility ray projection remained active over our bodies and neither of us dared make any unnecessary movement. The whisper-link in my ear was completely silent as the only thing that accompanied us was the rumbling of the vehicle and the occasional voices of the men seated in front.Needless to say, there wasn't anything interesting from their conversation. They only spoke about supplies, broken equipment and how difficult it had become to move resources through the desert. They didn't seem the least suspect of us. But that could be an act.It wasn't until later that the vehicle gradually slowed down.The faint sound of heavy metallic doors opening echoed outside before the supply van that had suddenly come to a halt drove forward once again. Not long after, it came
Infiltration
The cries of the vagrants drowned the silence that followed. Families who looked as though they had not eaten in days hurried towards the supply van with all the strength they had left in them. Mothers dragged their children by the hands while old men who could barely walk limped as fast as their frail bodies could carry them. Their skins had tanned and darkened from the extreme conditions. The entire place suddenly became chaotic. I couldn't help but look at the scene before me with mixed emotions. Though the people looked miserable beyond words, there wasn't any sign of violence amongst them. They simply rushed over with desperate expressions, afraid that there wouldn't be enough left for them. But that didn't mean that when push came to shove, things wouldn't get ugly. "Stay sharp, we make a move soon." Anya's voice sounded through the whisper-link in my ear. I answered with a soft nod and remained crouched behind the broken wall. The rear doors of the supply va
Ashara
The Wastelands of Ashara was a shattered remnant of what was once a prominent city in the past. A striking result of the last global war that shook our very mother Earth. Bums and children suffering from malnutrition and now only an empty shell in their tattered and dirty clothes took each corner of the ruins as their place of stay. It was a free world they lived in, but generally, they were slaves of poverty, mismanagement and victims of the vices of humanity. I kind of felt for them. As a victim of hunger and torment myself, I know just how much these people suffered. And worse was how they were erased from the rest of the world. They probably believed they were the sole survivors of the last world war, but reality couldn't be any different. "This is the base of operation of Liberix. Though from received information, they're much more discreet about their operations. We have to make use of every possible means to find out what it is they're doing." As w
Ruins
The Solitude Outpost Few days passed, a week probably, with us flying about towards the Ashen Expanse, which apparently was some forgotten part of the New World that I'd never even heard of before. From what Anya briefed me, it wasn't merely an uninhabited region but one that had been erased from every public resource and map in existence. No matter how long one searched, it would remain almost impossible to find this place except by accident. Only few world powerhouses knew of its existence. Anya and I had remained professional throughout the entire journey. Nothing remotely similar to what happened back in the Spax Corp. main facility ever ensued again. It almost made me question if the Serena I knew back then had only been an act from the very beginning. She was much colder now...Much more mature, and frighteningly professional. Sometimes I even wonder if she intentionally avoided speaking simply because she found conversations to be unnecessary. It was already past
Anya?
As soon as we stepped out of the televeyor, the sight of another exotic room came into view. This time, it was more of a guest room. A space of resort of a sort, rather than an office. However, I couldn't enjoy the view as much as I'd have liked as I caught sight of someone I was rather expecting to meet. Though, I was not certain of her real identity anymore. “ Took you long enough...” Dressed in a tight black leather suit with little taupe details, the lady said without shifting her indifferent gaze from the HUD of her vector device. Her long black hair fell all over her stretched, fit, and curvy figure while the humongous mounds on her chest that the suit she wore failed to cover peeked from beneath her pointed chin. She looked even hotter than I remembered. The next instant, she shut close the vector device before her and slowly organized her posture to stand. I was mesmerized by how those two familiar soft melons on her chest jiggled with every little action she made in the p
