When I woke up, I was sitting in an office chair in a small room. My friends were sitting in similar chairs to my left, with Anthony and Harold to my right. In front of us was a white desk with gray legs. Behind the desk sat Lim Yazhu.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LifeAnoYi
- You... - the owner of BIORBITAL started in a sinister tone - You severly damaged my money generator... I mean laboratories. You freed an arachnid, broke into the restricted sector, destroyed a DTV and got into a fight with my guards. The sheer destruction you have caused is immeasurable. Why did you do this to me? - he stared at us, demanding an immediate answer.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpWdjGmYGX
- What is a DTV? - Claudius muttered quietly.
- Delivery and Transport Vehicle. It's the cable car - Anthony explained, but Lim quickly silenced him.
- Be quiet! - he exclaimed and suddenly turned to me - I want to hear your explanation.
- For the destruction? - I asked and Lim confirmed. I sat in silence for a bit, coming up with a reasonable reply that won't compromise our team.
- Some dangerous criminals broke into the biodome and stole a chemical. They were clearly up to no good and we were nearby, so we chose to chase them down. We alerted the guards along the way and didn't get the time to inform them about the situation. The criminals escaped in the cable... uhm, DTV ahead of ours. Now that we're here, we probably won't learn their whereabouts - I said and the others looked at me with shock, including Lim.
- You were chasing the thieves?! - he didn't expect such a twist - But how do you know that they are dangerous criminals?
- The man, disguised as a scientist, was carrying a pistol and tried to kill us. That's definitely dangerous... - he caught me off guard.
Lim nodded in response and looked at the screen of his laptop, which he had on his desk. I was too startled to look at the desk up close before. Now, I saw all the things on the desk. Besides the laptop, there was a desk lamp, a notebook and a bunch of sticky notes with Chinese text written on them. As Lim was typing, Amber nudged me and I looked in the same direction as she. By the lamp were some blueprints.
On the blue piece of paper was a lot of unreadable text describing an egg-shaped structure. Lim turned around to see Amber and swiftly grabbed the blueprint and hid it beneath his notebook. I gazed upon the paper as it was dragged away by Lim. I couldn't tell what the egg was. Maybe an incubator of some kind?
Sebastian, who was sitting near the left corner of the room had a better view of the screen than us.
- He's watching our chase - Sebastian whispered to Claudius, who repeated the message to Amber and me. He meant the cable car chase.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbKHcO4998
I heard the terrifying crack as our cable car detatched itself from the cable and plummeted to the ground. The noises of crashing metal and and crushing foliage followed the fall. We heard footsteps and voices through the recording. Fortunately for us, the translators picked up the noise and translated it.
- Are they dead? - an agent asked asked.
- Hold on, let me check - another one replied. Some quick footsteps ensued, suggesting that this agent was the first to reach the wreck.
- They're alive but unconscious - he said to the other agents.
- Take them to my office - Lim ordered the agents - I'll take care of them there.
It sounded ominous, but so far, Lim Yazhu didn't hurt us at all. It seemed like he was looking at the upper left corner of the screen, which matched the position of the cable car of the Perseids. As it turned out, the CEO of BIORBITAL actually believed me and decided to investigate the situation to find the robbers.
- Okay, you're free. I'll take care of the criminals - he sighed - Get back to work!
We got up from our chairs and were escorted out of the office with two armed agents following us. As we left the room, they closed the door behind us with a loud slam. We walked away from the office so that nobody could eavesdrop us.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mamuT13N
- So, what now? - Claudius asked - We're just going to run experiments for the rest of the mission?
- No - Anthony replied - We'll stop those villains and then we will investigate Lim's mysterious project - he also noticed the blueprints. Anthony glanced upon me.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoz0pDSHpV
- Why did you tell him the truth? - he asked me.
- I concealed our true goals and made it seem like we're still working for him. When he's busy dealing with the Perseids, nothing will be stopping us from finding the egg thingy - I told him about my plan.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFh3PDTCaN
- Good thinking! - Anthony patted me on the head.
- Bad thinking - Harold promptly spoke up - We need to stay hidden until the Perseids are dealt with. We've already risked a lot thanks to your dad's reckless actions and we can't allow ourselves to be uncovered! We'll run experiments just as Lim wants!
- What about the secret project? Isn't the whole point of this mission discovering China's plans? - Sebastian asked.
- It is the point - Anthony added - And you, Harold? Would you sit in the corner while China invades our country?
- Yes I would - Harold shocked us - I have a good job, a large salary and guaranteed protection due to being Nigel's right hand. I have no reason to be bothered by a war.
- Then don't be - Anthony walked away and we followed him. Harold tried to chase us but instantly stumbled. As he got up, a scientist approached him and told him to get to work. He reluctantly agreed due to the lack of another option.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1siqZL70rc
- Since that coward is gone, I'm taking charge of the mission - my dad informed us.
- Okay, what do we do now? - Amber asked him.
- We locate Lim's secret project.
