A DAY AFTER SONIA'S DISAPPEARANCE SOMEWHERE IN ATLANTA Drummond walks into the detainment quarters where he has been holding Sonia captive. The room has a transparent-looking wall constructed with futuristic surveillance devices that prevents anyone from escaping. The facility is situated in the middle of an island, which makes it impossible for anyone to escape. “Hello, Sonia. How are you coping? I made sure everything you need is available.” Drummond smiled. "Just let me go! What do you want from me?" Sonia yells back and slams her fists against the glass wall. "Nothing really. Just that your father has been proving stubborn lately. Anyway, I am hoping you could help me persuade him to..." "Never! I will never help you with your evil plans. You are going to pay for all the lives you've destroyed." Despite Sonia's objections, Drummond grins cynically and bursts into laughter like a crazy person. "You will, eventually. I have so much in store for you and your friends." Drum
A few years ago…Experiment 699 [Outer space]"Ready to roll guys? Let's move!" Agent 699 said as the spaceship's exit opened up.The QASA team 699 dispatched the mother ship wearing their spacesuits to protect themselves from unfavorable temperatures.They started walking towards a very shallow and rigid surface of this unknown planet.The rest of the team stayed alert holding their laser guns In case of any unwanted guests since they knew nothing about this place. Whilst the team leader, Agent 699 communicates with the mother ship."What's our statistics? Over." Agent 699 said."Still nothing on the surface. You and your team may have to go deeper. There should be a layer at your 3 o'clock(Right) Over." "(Sighs) You heard it boys, we go that way." Agent 699 instructs his teammates to move right.After several minutes of walking on the dusty, windy planet. The VTech (Vibranium technology) gadget started beeping.The more they pushed forward, the louder the beeping."Hahaha, did you
Two weeks later…"All teams set…The battle begins in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…Brendan takes a deep breath awaiting the countdown. His heart is racing and he feels discouraged for a second but then, he remembers all the training he has put himself through, even hurting his hands when practicing at home."You got this…you got this Brendan." Brendan said to himself. "3, 2, 1….ALL TEAM DEPLOYED, WISH YOU LUCK."Out of experience, Brendan was able to survive the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd wave.Hunter VS OmarNow, it's a one-on-one match. Brendan is good at this so he remained calm.From the start, he already prepared a decoy just in case he reached the end."Hunter huh…come hunt me down." Brendan said.As if Hunter heard Brendan calling, he started walking in his direction.They were both deployed in an abandoned construction site with lots of exciting features.Brendan and Hunter are both experienced gamers and they both had a little gunfight before Brendan went into hiding.Hunter tracks him down again,
The QASA agency kept track of Brendan's day-to-day activities, every single thing he did was on camera. Drummond even made arrangements for him to be brought to the headquarters in Liberia."I need to know everything he needs in life. We can't lose this one for anything." Drummond ordered the team to check his profile, every record, birth certificate, and every atom of information they could get their hands on about Brendan."Sonia." "Yes Sir?""I'm counting on you. Do not fail me." Drummond said to the research team leader."I won't Sir." She replied with a bow.Sonia has been a member of the agency for a very long time. Despite her young age, Drummond assigned her to be the head of the research team because he knew she was capable. After Drummond had left, Sonia sat down behind her desk and continued watching Brendan very closely, through the computer."Mom, what's the matter? You look worried." Brendan said when he noticed the sad look on his mother's face. Ever since Brendan's f
"Look who's graduating again! I'm so proud of you, Brendan. How I wish your father was here to witness what you've achieved all on your own." "No, no. Come on Mom, we are not going over this again. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made it to where I am today. So I want to say thank you so much for believing in me." Brendan replied. "Yeah, you will always be my special boy. So what about the Job, still considering it? " She asked. "I think I'm going for it. You know, all I ever wanted was to give you a better life and make sure we never lack again. I'm going to make that dream come true ma." Brendan assures his mother with a big smile. "Wow, that's good to hear. When are you coming home? I want to prepare your favorite.""Mmmm, next week. Can't wait to see you but for now, got to go to class.""Alright, talk to you later.""Alright. Love you, Mom, I'm ending the video call now."QASA HEADQUARTERS"You wanted to see me? It better be good news.""Yes sir, it definitely is." Sonia
"Approaching destination in 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…"The ship made its landing on an old rusty crash site surrounded by spontaneous cliffs and a bunch of damaged stuff. Before they depart the ship, Ricky calls Brendan aside to talk. "Keep me in touch at all times. If anything you find strange out there, you let me know. If things get too messy, return with the team back to the ship. Alright?""Copy that." Brendan replied. "One more thing. Look after Sonia for me, keep her close, and never let her out of your site." Ricky said with all seriousness. He was literally shaking Brendan's shoulders to pass the message. Brendan became even more curious as to why Ricky was always looking out for Sonia. He was about to ask him who she was to him but changed his mind."Got it, Sir." Brendan replied and put on his helmet. "Heading out." "Good luck team, go get our vibranium." Drummond said. The team put on their space suits and made their way out of the ship. They started walking down the open ro
"Sonia, can you hear me, are you alright?" Ricky called out through the walkie-talkie. "Yes, I'm alright." Sonia confirmed. "But Brendan…I-I couldn't reach him." She added. "We couldn't reach him from here also." Ricky replied.Sonia started to snivel, looking very sad. She closed her eyes as tears came running down her dusty cheeks. "You were right, I shouldn't have let this happen. Brendan could be dead and it's all my fault." Sonia continues sobbing. "Don't say that, we are not sure yet. He is a tough guy and-and I'm sure he'll pull through." Ricky said, trying to spark a little hope but he didn't even believe in his own words. The look on his face right now is similar, yes that's right. A few years ago he lost a crew to this course. He never wanted all of this happening but that's the deal he signed up for. It's like a contract with the devil that is irrevocable. "I-I'm scared." Sonia whispered under her breath. "What about the others?" Ricky asked. "We were separated when
"Alright. Be careful." Ricky massaged his temples as he let out a deep sigh. He gently found his way to a chair and sank in it, eyes closed. "What's up?" Drummond spoke. "Just talked with the captain, he said they got the signal." Ricky lazily said. "You mean the vibranium?""Yes.""That's great news!" Drummond exclaimed and started laughing. "Or a bad one. You're happy huh? It seems you have forgotten so quickly what happened the last time. They got the signal too right? And what happened next?" Ricky glares at Drummond viciously, his eyes flaming like a hot coal. Drummond couldn't say a word when Ricky confronted him. He has never cared about the team he recruits, he doesn't care how many have sacrificed their lives and died for his gaddam project. Ricky wanted to remind him."That's right, you've got nothing to say. Well, let me remind you. In 2001, Team Pluto, all five of them died even before crossing the orbits, because there was not enough oxygen to keep them alive. 2003,
