CHAPTER EIGHT - THE CYBERGATE OPENS

𝓣𝚁𝙴𝙽𝚃

I WALKED INTO NATE'S LAB with Devon, Ravi, and Zoey wearing a black hoodie. "Nate. Where you off to?" Devon asked.

"I'm developing some new weapon prototypes. Gonna upgrade them with animal DNA, so I. . . thought I'd. . .  head to the woods and get some insect DNA to work with." Nate explained as Zoey and I walked to the new weapons along with Devon.

"Uh. . ."

"Hold up." Ravi said, stopping Nate. "Dude, you know the rule. You're not supposed to go off base without an escort. You're too important."

"I need this DNA. If anything happens, I can handle myself." Nate reassured.

"Why not let us come along and keep you company?" Zoey questioned.

"Fine." Nate replied, giving up and agreeing.

"Let's go." Ravi said.

Nate was scanning a mantis while Devon and Ravi were sitting on a rock.

"Praying mantis DNA is just what I need." Nate said to himself. "Now, what other insects are around?"

"How about this spider? It's an arachnid, but—" Zoey began as Nate stepped back.

"I love pretty much all creatures, but not spiders." Nate informed.

"I'm on Nate's side with this. My husband once put a spider down my back when we were children and I've been afraid of them ever since." I added, coming up to the two.

"Thanks, though."

"Oh, OK."

Nate found a scarab beetle and was about to scan it when Ravi's wrist comm beeped.

"Rangers, a Robotron has been spotted stealing Morph-X in Sector Lima 8-3." Commander Shaw informed.

"Roger that." Ravi replied.

"Nate, go back to base where you'll be safe." Devon told him.

"I'm not done yet. I just found this scarab beetle." Nate informed.

"Nate—"

"I know. It's the rule." Nate interrupted. "OK. I'll go."

"Uh, actually. You guys can handle the Robotron on your own, right?" I spoke up as all of them looked at me. "I can stay here and help Nate with his research. It seems important."

"You sure, Trent?" Ravi asked.

"Yeah. You guys go. Call me if I'm needed." I reassured as the three left.

"Thanks, Trent." Nate thanked me as I nodded, watching him scan the beetle.

"It's not a problem. I'm sure those three can handle the Robotron themselves anyhow." I said.
