Chapter Twenty-Two
âProfessor! Itâs working.â
âWhat is?â Laurie had his answer before the technician could respond. When his personal interface reappeared and his console booted up, he wasted no time. âGet the defense array online immediately and all the hatches open if Wolfson has not done so already. Bring the network up and contact every student and faculty member you can. We need to get them to safety.â
âRight away, sir.â
The professor opened a holoscreen. âCyra, are you there?â
âI am. Itâs good to hear from you, Professor!â she responded, her smile wide despite the fatigue in her eyes. âWere you able to locate the source of the disruptions?â
âActually, no. Weâve worked on it but all ourââ
âLaurie! Iâm finally able to get through to ya,â Wolfson said cheerfully as he appeared on another screen. âEverything is back online. The tunnels should open now and the security bots are reactivating. Good work!â
âIt wasnât me, Wolfson,â he admitted. âIâve been blind since the start of this. We werenât able to get a lock on whatever caused the problem.â
âReally? Then whoâ Hold a moment Laurie.â The head officer looked to the side. âYes, Haldt? Were you able toâ Eh? Took care of the disruption? Where wasâ Kaiden!â
âKaiden?â Laurie would have laughed if it werenât for the chaos surrounding him at the moment. Even when he had no idea what he was doing, the ace always seemed to find a way to be useful.
âThe shipâs cannon is coming online!â That caught his attention instantly. He looked at a camera feed from the main plaza and craned it up at a definitive glow in the shipâs cannon.
âSir, from what weâre able to discern about the shipâs model, that cannon is currently at thirty percent of a charge,â one of the technicians explained hastily.
âWe have control again. Everything is working and we will execute the plan,â he stated. âPrepare the array and target the ship.â
âRight away.â A trio of technicians rushed over to the array to help the others already working on it.
âSome of the systems are still rebooting. Weâll have it ready in approximately three minutes, Professor.â
Laurie nodded and took a position at the main console as Cyraâs monitor appeared next to him and Wolfson signed off. âWhen weâre in, weâll have access to the shipâs EI. Weâll cut the power to everything but the main engine. If they do not surrender, weâll threaten to send them into the ocean and overheat the core.â
She looked at him in surprise âA blast like that, ProfessorâI mean, the ship is massive!â
âI said threaten, Cyra. Thereâs no need to actually do so,â he pointed out. âIt would be a waste. How are you holding up down there?â
âMuch better now that all the defenses are activating,â she stated. âWe had to be selective on what we powered up and had people running spare generators and using older model power cores for the bots. Everything is working as intended now.â
âVery good. Keep it up. Weâve weathered the storm now.â He wanted to believe his
