CHAPTER 21

---usr/systems/server-x/TEAR UNIT DISPATCHED---

It was almost half past three in the morning. The TEAR unit was on site near some abandoned warehouses in West Andromeda District.

“General Cain, sir. We have arrived at the site. We will begin the livestream transmission now,” Lt. Daav said.

“Good. Changing communication channel to encrypt mode. From here on out you have lead of the mission,” General Cain replied.

“Affirmative, sir,” Daav replied.

“Alright, you pansies. Time to get shit done. Everyone, activate your tracker visuals and night vision. Weapons locked and loaded. We’re splitting up into four groups; Kena and Romi are with me. We’ll be inspecting the Clone Farm. Tranes and Callum will cover the western area of this warehouse graveyard. Violet and Tona, head half a klick north, survey the area. Regos and Mox, you guys remain here Guard the vehicles and inspect the surrounding area. If any one of you find anything, any clues, report it to me, then the rest of the team. We will rendezvous at the coordinates I sent you in fifteen minutes. Let’s get a move on,” Daav said.

“Yes, sir!” they replied in unison.

The skillful unit dispersed, thoroughly searching high and low for clues of the intruder’s whereabouts. Equipped with powerful tracking devices, each member was capable of identifying the footprints of anyone who traversed the area for up to five hours after the prints were left. Daav and his team, using their devices, traced the footsteps of the intruder through the secret entrance of the Clone Farm.

“Looks like this guy is an exceptional hacker, sir,” Sgt. Kena stated.

Daav marched into the facility. Officer Dames had finished his shift and left shortly after his call with General Cain. With no guards on standby, the facility was running on automated mode.

“No equipment appears to have been tampered with, sir,” Sgt. Romi stated.

“None of this makes any sense. Why hack into a place like this and just leave? Unless this guy was out to expose government secrets. But who would be that nuts?” Daav thought aloud.

“Perhaps he found his way in here by accident.” Kena suggested. “But that wouldn’t explain anything either.”

“Let’s keep looking,” Daav said.

They followed the footprints out of the facility. They found themselves above ground again as they continued to follow the intruder’s steps. Regardless of the trail left behind, there was no one in the general vicinity. There was nothing to report. Lt. Daav began to sense something was amiss and contacted his team.

“Team B; Regos, Mox, anything on your end?” he asked.

“No, sir. Nothing yet,” they replied.

“Sir, Tranes here. We’ve found several footprints near the west wing. Looks like there was a large group of androids here,” he said.

“Anroids? What would they be doing here?” Daav asked.

“Ahh! Shit!” Tranes yelled in agony.

“Tranes! Status update!’ Daav shouted.

“We’re under attack! Tranes Watch out!” Callum replied as their communication feeds were suddenly marred by static interference.

“TEAR unit, we have a bogey westward. Tranes and Callum are under attack. Rendezvous point has changed. Provide back up. Move out!” Daav commanded.

Daav reveled in conflict.
