Outlaw

9. Calypso

I basically jumped out of my skin. I really saw was a hologram of the government lady but at first glance anybody I could make that mistake. When I walked into the room I wasn't expecting the first thing I saw to be a hologram of the scary woman who is chasing me so you can understand how I was a little freaked out. The people around the room were engaged in conversation before I walked in, all sound died. It was as though my entrance had triggered the flipping of a switch that turned off everybody's voices. All eyes were on me, Tori and Colt as we walked in. Someone curious others accusatory and some just confused. Honestly I couldn't blame them I would be a little confused as well. Tori glanced around the room, signalling everyone to continue. It was obvious she held an air of authority among these people. We three took our seats on the long round table situated in the middle of the room. The life-sized hologram of the lady moved from where it has been placed to the centre of the table. This version was a lot smaller than the one I had originally seen as it now had to float over the table. An information table appeared next to her, also a hologram. The information table read:

Name: Dr Kyra Mosheyev

Occupation: works for the government, specifics unknown

Age: unknown

Strengths: intellect, strategy, mass command

Weaknesses: perfectionist, her temper

Other details: mainly unknown

"As you can see we don't know much about this particular individual,"

said a man at the other end of the table. He was a rather portly man with short cropped black hair, not unlike Tori's. He was in a business suit, a black one to be precise. What was it with these people and black? That was the only colour they ever seem to wear?

"Jove is right,"

Tory spoke up from beside me. How was it that she seemed to know everyone here? Did she hold a position of command? There was still so much I didn't know about these people.

"We will have to send some spies to infiltrate the inside of the enemies operations. If we want to know more about our phones we need to find information from the source. Focus on finding information on Dr Mosheyev. Anything would be ok, we just need to know more than we currently do. I will you Tara,"

Tori gestured to a young woman about halfway down the table.

"And you Flint."

This time she addressed a man at the other end of the table. He was stern and brooding, not unlike Colt. Military or ex-military would be my guest.

"To go and join the enemy forces, find out what you can from the other soldiers and attempt to rise in their ranks for as long as you stay there."

The two people Tori had addressed got up and left the room. Tory herself she continued to address the gathering.

"Raine and Rosemary go and monitor their security systems. I want to know every move they make exactly when they make it. Watch their cameras are there datafiles anything you can get, I want to know all there is to know about their plans."

Two identical women with long, blonde, straight hair, round glasses and stern expressions got up and left the room as the other two had previously.

"Night and Hunter you to go on scout missions at night, observe their defences and methods of transport anything you see that looks like it could be useful in our struggle, report back to me immediately. Do you to understand your orders?"

"Yes ma'am."

The two men replied and filed out of the room in the same fashion as those before them. The were now only 10 people remaining around the table including me, Tori and Colt. Everyone looked in our direction gazing at Tori waiting to find out what to do next.
