CONTINUATION FROM PART ONE [ HERE ]
The door slides shut, footsteps echoing across the bare room to stand beside the bed. A glove covered hand reaches out to tap the holographic chart, bringing it up for everyone to see. The machine beeps a steady rhythm.
“Where did you find her?” MAYLIN’s voice breaks through the silence of the private medic room. The information from the chart is shifted as another hand reaches out. Tapping information and revealing an agent profile.
“The east edge of South Gate, just beyond the perimeter of the city.” SOL speaks up. He stands beside ALISTAIR on the other side of the bed. JINX stands at the end of the bed, controlling the patient's chart.
“She was unconscious when found and has yet to wake.” ALISTAIR adds on.
A meow is heard from lower down but none of the head agents look down. Used to speaking with the tech agent from her various cat bots.
“I cross referenced her identity with our sister agencies as well as any other databases from other countries that were still up and running. Her name was blacked out but I found her rank and code name, Senior Agent Valkyrie. She’s enhanced, but not sure how. Apparently she was on a long term mission with GHA.” CELEST’s voice explains from the cat bot, the information on the holographic chart shifts around with her words.
“GHA? How did she end up all the way here?” JINX asks, crossing her arms over her chest. “Should we bring Agent Shadow in for questioning?”
“Not yet, but send a message to his team leader to have him on standby for the day.” MAYLIN says.
“Her mission details are blacked out, and the GHA server seems to be completely fried. I can’t dig into anything else.” CELEST replies. “I did manage to find one thing though.”
The screen shifts rapidly, a video feed takes over. The video shows a clear image of an older man in a military style outfit. His expression is grim, stance tense.
“The time is 0346. I, Grandsir, do believe my time in this agency and this world are coming to an end. If you are receiving this message then that means my fears have come true. They….. broke……End….” The video feed glitches, ripping apart what GRANDSIR is saying. “...KAISER….” The head agents all tense at the familiar name that breaks through the feed.
“Hold, let me try and clean it up.” CELEST says. The video starts over but it still glitches in the same places as before.
“Was that the only correspondence you could find?” MAYLIN questions.
“That was the only video. I did find an encrypted file though.” CELEST continues, pulling up the password screen. “I’ve been working on cracking it–”
“Have you tried the password MEIA?” MAYLIN cuts in.
Silence reigns as four stars appear slowly in the password box. Within seconds the file is unlocked and reveals an array of information from maps to documents.
“So… our sister agency has fallen.” MAYLIN says after a moment of silence. She reaches out and taps one of the maps. It opens to reveal the city Tacetel. There is a red dot beeping on the map.
“The old man left us a mission.” JINX says, pinching her fingers to zoom in on the map.
“Celest, I want all of this information decoded and key information highlighted ASAP. The rest of you, begin the steps for mission ; Blue.” A chorus of agreements echoed around the room before the head agents filed out.
