Chapter 21: EMPeeps

[K's Pov]

At time like these, I am at my office at the tower. I have access to every ideas whenever I am in my office. I am hurt, Puro is severely hurt, and Scott is barely conscious. We failed to prevent the giant from entering the tunnels, and we ended up horribly injured. Luckily Puro is smart enough to send Colin to fetch more medical supplies in case we will need it. The white wolf and the Prototype became the nurses. Soon enough, I am up on my two hind legs. My back hurts, but other's injuries hurt more.

I stood up from the grass and I looked around the garden. The weak black wolf rests on the grass, and Scott is sitting on the office chair. The Prototype and Colin are watching over Puro. Scott looks busy on the computer. I slowly approached the friendly Protogen and I noticed the screen of the monitor showing a notepad, and the notepad is already filled with words typed in. It reminds me of Prima on his first day of acting weird. This is giving me some bad vibes. Scott leaned back on his office chair and let out a sigh.

He then turned to look at me, finally noticing my presence beside him. "K! How is your neck?" Scott asked and I rest my left paw on top of his head, gently rubbing his head. "My neck is in good condition now. What were you typing?" I pull my left paw from his head, and Scott looked at the screen of the monitor, then he began typing on the keyboard again. It seems that he can manage on the keyboard, unlike Prima who had to use his claw as a USB plug. Scott is using his claws to press the keys, and he is doing alright with it.

"It's about these dreams I had for these past few days regarding Prima. There's this Malware that connected both of our minds, and through the dream I am able to awaken Prima's true self. It's like I am the key, and Prima is the lock. The Malware lives within Prima, and I am afraid of what it can do to the fully awakened Primagen." Scott let out a sigh, and he placed his right paw on his abdomen. His abdomen has the scar from Prima kicking him, and it's slowly healing up from the looks of it.

"About this Primagen. What's a Primagen?" I asked and Scott paused from typing on the notepad. He turned to look at me. "Primagen are the predecessors of Protogen, according to this Malware that told me in my last dream. The Malware knows a lot about the Protogen and Primagen. Speaking of Primagen, I thought of the perfect way to stop Prima from pestering the black latex nest." Scott turned to look back st the monitor and he clicked the mouse a few times, browsing to what appears to be the files.

The monitor then shows a blueprint of a small device that resembles a bomb. "This is an EMP. It can generate a small electromagnetic field around itself that will discharge every electronic devices, and possibly fry them. I also ran a program to scan the contents of the disc I brought days ago, and apparently it contained more than I expected." Scott browsed through more of the folders, and he clicked on a folder. The folder revealed to be containing photos, and the Protogen anatomy and blueprint are one of the familiar pictures I noticed.

"Do you want to check it out for yourself?" He asked, looking at me and I gave him a nod. Scott stood up from the office chair, and I took the seat. I sat down and I clicked the images that I am familiar with. I then pressed the right arrow key to browse through the next number of images. The next image shows the anatomy of a Primagen. It looks similar to the Protogen, but is taller and more aggressive. I noticed one particular detail that caught my attention. The brain of the Primagen is both biological and artificial. I turned to look at Scott, and he is just standing behind me.

"Will the EMP be safe and efficient? Prima has a brain that is both biological and artificial. Would it fry the circuitry in his brain?" Scott placed his right paw on his visor. He looks to be busy thinking about the EMP. "I was thinking of the EMP frying the visor enough to temporarily stun it. I didn't know Primagen has a biological and artificial brain. I can tune the EMP to a certain frequency to make the field smaller so it only hits his visor, and not his brain."

"I can help you with the making of EMP since the problem is big enough to threaten the tower, and my home." Scott pull his right paw from his visor as I turn to look at the computer. I closed the images and I clicked the one that contains the small EMP device. The image also shows the instructions and materials needed in order to build it. Being done with the images, I noticed a gas mask on the workshop table. "I made that for you. I hope it is enough to replace the one you were wearing." I smile and held the gas mask with my left paw. I placed the gas mask back on the workshop table. "I'll use this in the future."

I stood up from the office chair and turned to look at Puro. The black wolf and white wolf are cuddling each other on the grass. The black wolf is hugging the white wolf close to him. "The two wolves are at it again. Will you be fine if we are to cuddle like that?" I asked and I looked at Scott. Scott is already looking at me with his visor showing a slight blush on his snout. I chuckle and I reached out my right paw to hold the friendly Protogen's left paw. "Maybe in the future after the mess, we can be like those two. For now, let's build the EMP."
