Kalugal

Kalugal had expected Jacki’s testimony to take no more than an hour, but it had ended up taking nearly the entire day.

The amount of details she’d provided was staggering.

They now had a map of the entire facility, with each building marked according to purpose, the number of floors, and the estimated number of units. Turner had assigned different colors to housing, offices, classrooms, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities. They also had the location and estimated size of the major equipment operating the facility.

“How come you committed so much to memory?” Turner asked.

“I have an excellent visual memory. I can close my eyes and see the various buildings, including the number of floors and windows. Before Jin’s arrival, I was lonely and bored, and since I like jogging, I used to run the entire perimeter of the underground city every day. I was most curious about the machinery running the facility, and since the entire place is under constant surveillance, I figured that the best place for a private talk was next to the noisiest ones. So that’s where I took Jin to plan our escape.”

“What are we going to do with all this information?” Kalugal asked. “All I need to know is where Simmons’s office is.”

Jacki looked at him. “Are you still thinking about shrouding yourself to look like him or one of his superiors?”

“We need to capture the director, detain him, and then I can walk in shrouding myself as him. Before I do that, though, I will need to talk to the bastard and learn his mannerisms and inflection.”

Jacki frowned. “I just thought of something. Even though we had access cards, we mainly used them to get into our apartments. When getting into the offices or the training facilities, we just walked in. I think they scanned us somehow.”

“That complicates things,” Turner said. “They are probably using biometric scanners, and there is no way Kalugal’s shroud can fool those.”

Kalugal turned to Kian. “Can your hackers do something about that?”

Kian shook his head. “Messing with that is a sure way to attract attention. We can’t afford it.”

It seemed like his clever plan wasn’t going to work after all. “Then we need to get rid of Simmons and Roberts and maybe even the recruiter. Without them, the program will fall apart, and the trainees will be sent home. Case closed.”

“For now, maybe.” Turner tapped his pen on his yellow pad.

Kalugal arched a brow. “Do you have a better plan?”

“Not yet. But we don’t have to kill them off.” Turner reached for his bottle of water. “Roni dug up some very good dirt on the two of them. Remember my idea to find female subordinates and thrall them to accuse the two of sexual harassment?”

“Is that the dirt Roni found?” Kian asked.

Turner nodded. “Both had complaints filed against them by female coworkers, starting long before the two joined the military and continuing after. The claims were silenced, but we can find the women and have them testify or leak the original complaints to the press.
