The feeling of being able to destroy the indestructible drone soldiers, made Fina smile despite the impending danger and knowing that there is still one more to kill.She raised the sword and take a good look at it up close. What is this? She asked herself. From her back, the sound of thrusters approaching called her attention. She turned and saw the other drone soldier flying towards her at full speed. She jumps to the side so that she can avoid being hit by it at that speed, but she was not quick enough because the drone soldier was able to hit her legs. It made her turn on the air and then falling hard on the ground.The crack on the aether shield has opened even wider due to the damage it has taken. To restore or repair the aether shield, one must avoid being hit for at least a minute. The shield would gradually absorve kinetic energy and automatically use it to repair it self. But Fina does not know that yet. The drone soldier dashed towards Fina again before she could recove
Fina finally agreed to go back to the base because, even though she is right, disobedience to superiors is a serious crime. According to the constitution of the human federation, it is also considered a disobidence to the government. They all got on board and headed back to the base only to return after the Sergent have showed off the pictures of what he didn't kill or even know how they were killed. On their way back, Sergent Brook have seen a group of drone soldiers parading some humans around. He asked Sergent Fowler to open the hatch and fly lower to allow him observe the drone soldiers.When the ship flew lower, he handed a camera device to Liu and ask him to snap him as many pictures as possible with the drone soldiers on the ground as the background. After about ten pictures, Sergent Liu showed the pictures to Brook. But he didn't like them much because they were not clear enough to see his face in them. So he asked that Fowler fly around again and also commanded Liu to sn
**CENTAURIAN EMPIRE**"Astra a guard has seen all these, don't make this uglier than it is already. I will surely get you back to earth, you need to trust me and give me a little time" Prince Adriel said"you have to do it quickly. We don't have all the time in the world. Your people are destroying my planet and killing my people. You have just seven days to get me out of here, otherwise, you will regret it" Astra said and lowered her blades, then asked Elena to do the same. "what are you going to do about the guard? Now that he has seen us holding knives to your throats" Elena asked the prince. "don't worry about that. All the palace and chamber guards aren't real humans. The only real humans are personal security like Claria" the prince explained. "on Centauri, there are certain kinds of jobs or duties that real humans never do. We have the technology to easily craft a robot that can do it better than a human could" the prince added as he walks towards the guard who came in earli
**EARTH, SPECIAL SQUAD**"Run! Run! Runn! Fina keeps shouting as she followed Sergent Brook and Sergent Fowler who were already in the forests trying to find a hiding place from the spraying bullets of the drone soldiers. The thoughts of the dead body of Sergent Liu laying dead on the beach did not allow her to run fast enough. Her ears and eyes are oblivious to the bullets digging into the sands of the beach beside her. Somehow, her legs are still running towards the forest to seek for safety. She only regained consciousness and control of herself when a bullet hit and broke the tree in front of her.About six metres ahead of her, Sergent Brook and Fowler were running as fast as they could trying to reach an unknown and uncertain safety. At some distances, they would turn back and shoot their guns hoping to slow the drone soldiers down. Astra shouted at them telling them to split so that one of them can be free from the chase since they ate three and there are only two drone sold
"this is commander Tyra of the Centaurian empire. I have your soldier here with me. If you do not wish to see her dead, please do as I say. You have been mercifully given a grace of one hundred and sixty eight hours to bring down your shield and surrender to the Centuarian empire. Failure to do so will cost the life of your soldier and result to full war"As soon as commander tyra was done with the announcement, more chaos and confusion grew withing the base. In the helion tower, commander Tyra had updated king Agnus on the negotiations. King Agnus gave him an order to scare by Terrans by showing them military might and superior technology. "why don't we just kill them all?" commander Tyra said to king Agnus. "we need them for research purposes and to learn more about the planet. When we are done with them letter in the future, we will destroy them all" king Agnus replied. The human federation council has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the current situation of things
The human federation base continues to become weaker day by day. The absence of Astra has been major set back, and now the central computer has caused the biggest problem ever encountered in the base. Carter has done all he could to salvage the situation, but it just seems like he is doing nothing. Right now, the strong hold of the humans seems to have nothing to depend on when the aliens attack. The shield is the only defence tool standing between the aliens and humans. The emerald shield and the aether shield is still working because it's not connected to the central computer. The federation human base is covered under two shields, the first emerald shield, then the aether shield which was developed letter on. Astra then, suggested that the aether shield should be built over the emerald shield. When the Shield was activated, Carter suggested that there is no need to link it to the central computer because it needs to be kept on, at all times. On the night of that day, Jamie w
Carter and Rhoda have gone round the base along the edges of the shield, but didn't find any problem with the shield or any other problem. They went back into the base and continued searching for the cause of the buzzing sound. But there was still no sign of any problem.While the search was still on, Carter is working on the computer, going over and over the programs trying to find any fault, while Rhoda was beside him looking at the results of the analysis of the substance that killed Jamie. Suddenly, a broadcast began on all screens and speakers "attention all human! We are aware that you are in no state to fight a war right now, we are also aware that you can't figure what caused a sound in your base. The sound is as a result of a gap created in your aether shield. You have ten hours to fix it or you will receive a little surprise through it"As soon as the broadcast was over, all the screens and speakers shut down and commander tyra was gone. After the voice broadcast, everyon
In less than a year i was a happy man, living my dream life, i had a good job and almost everything i needed. The world was flourishing, families were happy. Today, the whole of humanity lives in a land not bigger than a state. Our total population is no longer up-to any state in the former USA. Of all the ways i thought it will end for me, i never imagined it this way. Carter's shoulders have become weak, his joints are sour and his hopes have vanished, as he stood with his eyes now closed expecting to experience death any second. A relief came to Carter when the harrowers made a humming sound. He opened his eyes and saw that the green helion lights on the side of harrowers had gone off and they are no longer vibrating. The harrowers have been switched off. The creaking sound of the harrowers were no longer heard by people in the bunkers. A form of relief is beginning to return and every one on the base remained quiet and trying to be sure the harrowers are no longer making the cr
