Pulling the operator onto the table with the laptop to get their attention. They were staring blankly at the screen of the tablet showing the newscaster televising the incident.
Eldric shook them back to reality. He said as calmly as he could, “Contact the higher-ups. Have they issued an order of total evacuation through the underground passageways?”
The operator remained dazed as they looked back at the laptop in front of them, paused to breathe as they shook their hands, then started typing and looking through the boards. As Eldric waited to get a result, he pulled his phone out and sent a reply to Min-Ain.
“Stay where you are. There’s no telling what will happen if the Task Force fails to apprehend the Primers.” Seeing this message did not abate the fear Min-Ain felt, the kind he used to have back in D-city.

The message came from the prompt of his chat, a new contact, trying to add him. Min-Ain was too late when he heard the elevator doors open and entered the two. Izobra who towered over him despite having a considerable height lorded the presence in the room that he panicked and almost hurt them before Zerkalo softly greeted him. The gentle manner of the old man brought him peace and soon found himself enjoying lunch with the couple, in silence at first but turned into him being the third wheel as the couple spoke about the incident.Nothing of their words showed any kind of information that they were part of the incident, but they did show knowledge or know-how of the event that seemed firsthand.The conversation flowed from their opinion on structural integrity, what with the modern way the **** company tackled their floor plan and how uneasy anyone can be with such a mechanical layout, then moving on to what kind of ice cream Min-Ain wanted.

Chapter 19“Morning ‘hun?” Said a sweet, husky voice from the other end of the video call.The screen, at this moment, is hidden under the pillow, but someone can see the bottom end of the phone that indicates the call status and other details. Partly lighting the dark bedroom gave an eerie sense that there is more to the conversation, yet all it is in its core is a sad call to a spouse missing their other half.A long pause passed before the call echoed with the sound of movements before the man spoke again. "... that's new, it's still early in the morning, and you're looking for me?"Shuffling sounds from the bed, and a hum of the air-conditioning, filled the room before a tired voice whispered to the speaker. "I didn't sleep again.""Martes?" Said the man. His voice was deep and stipped in worry.Prof. Tenorio stirred and pulled himself out of h

Prof. Tenorio nodded at the captain, and continued to debrief the new Team A2 with twice the number of members from its previous incarnation. Ten members with one additional scout that is well used to the routes, using their digital routing with the earpiece technology that helps visualize through their one lens frame.Each member were advised about the devised plan to break the group into small teams to lead the groups after retrieving them. Their weapons are handheld, long-range injectors for the brought toxins. They did have limited ammo, but at least they could use it as gas bombs. But, it should be guaranteed a distance from people, or else they would be included in the range of fire.Starting after their last meal, Prof. Tenorio made sure their connection to the comms was secured with a bit of tweaking to receive a wider range. Then rode along with their van to the drop-off at the end of where they should enter, then bid them good luck.

The battle ensued despite the injured team, especially Stant. She continued to fight wildly, even if she had one arm injured. Abin had been pulling her back in, as per captain Vince, who shouted for them to fall back when he noticed the one-eyed Primer sending him signals to get back. The urgency in its movements and how it looked struggling with the fight may not assure the captain, but they have no way of defeating the Primers when they drove in groups.The last straw of Stant’s persistent desire to satisfy her hunger for violence forced the one-eyed creature to throw a Primer's severed head in her direction. Hitting her square on the side of her body that threw her onto the side, coincidentally nearer to captain Vince, this brought him a chance to pull the last members of their team into the place they were hiding.Hidden under the rubble again, all of them stayed. They busied applying first aid, or observing, like Akyl from the entrance. Not much of her phone

“Let me tell you, I and captain Vince’s team are a part of a company who has been given overall leadership in this situation. Yes, including support from various other organizations and the government. I’m not sure how long they have been doing it, but since its arrival in C-city, it’s been going on since then. The incident that started this all is called a Dimension Pocket...” And from there it took Dr. Munar to tell a summarized version for about less than ten minutes.Though he omitted the reason why Good Will was there in the first place, he just wrote their purpose around the safety of the citizens like how Prof. Tenorio would describe the entire pitch to a person. Somehow, he convinced Aurea the quickest as a tear formed in her eyes through the stories he told them of the situation outside.Bertrand and Bedlyne remain passive in their reaction, nodding at the fact but at the same time a knowing doubt must be within them, or it could

This very sense does not equate to anything physics theoretically can prove or cannot. Believing is not as simple as having blind faith, but if you experience it as your reality even though little to nobody can have the same thing, then Trust would rather keep it to a theory in mind.But, because it happens in real-time and it's the now, he cannot do anything but utilize it the best.
