Paris' POV
"What's going on?" Malakas na tanong ni Jack sa mga personnel sa loob ng monitoring room.
Malaki ang pulang exclamation mark na nasa loob ng triangle ang nagfaflash sa malaking screen. Nagiging pula din ang buong silid na ikinabahala namin lahat.
"Sir, we received a distress signal from Afghanistan. A group of American tourists was held captive by local rebels." Sagot ng isa na kakababa lang ng telepono nito. Mukhang nakatanggap na ito ng tawag mula sa higher-ups.
Bago pa man makapagsalita si Jack ay tumunog ulit ang desk phone at siya na mismo ang sumagot sa tawag.
"Mr. President..." usal nito. Agad kong nahulaan na ang presidente ng US ang kausap ngayon ni Jack. "We are waiting for the instruction, Sir," saad nito ulit at nakikinig sa mga sinasabi ng Presidente. "We should be able to do that, Sir. We will do it and we will keep you updated." Turan nito at tsaka ibinaba na nito ang tawag.
"Sir?" Tanong ng isang personnel kay Jack.
"Search the location of the hideout of the terrorist. Kieran, keep the president updated," utos nito sa lahat.
Mabilis na tumalima ang mga personnel. Pati na rin ang mga kasama ko ay mabilis na umupo at gumalaw ang mga daliri. Hindi ako gumalaw at nanatiling nakatingin ako sa screen para makita ko ang mga nangyayari.
I wanted to tell Jack that S can do the job by locating the hideout of the terrorist in Afghanistan but there are a lot of eyes and ears in this room. They don't know yet how to exactly use S. It will only create suspicion if I will act like I know S in the middle of a crisis. I decided to observe first before moving.
"Sir, we are accessing all camera functions but it seems like the incident happened in an isolated location where there are no cameras or capturing devices," saad ng isa sa mga personnel.
"Damn it! We have to find them as soon as possible!" Matigas na sigaw ni Jack na mas lalo lang nagbibigay ng pressure sa lahat. He reminds me of Garwyn. Napapailing na lang ako. People under pressure are turning into dislikable people. Ngunit hindi ko naman masisisi si Jack kung ganito siya ngayon. The President of the country is waiting for updates. He could kiss goodbye on his job if the Pentagon could not solve it.
"I found some trace!" Sigaw ng katabi ko na hindi ko alam ang pangalan.
Napalingon naman kami sa kanya. May mga video na nagpiplay sa kanyang screen. It was blurry in black and white.
"The last captured image from the group of tourists is in a town called Panjshir. It became a ghost town after a group of rebels took over the town," saad niya. "This town is now a nest of the rebels."
"Good job, Dylan," puri naman ni Jack dito na Dylan pala ang pangalan. "But we are not sure if the hostages are still in town or they were sent to a different hideout." Problemado pa rin na saad nito.
Ramdam ko si Jack. Lalo na at hindi pwedeng hindi kaagad ito malaman ang exact location ng mga rebelde at ang mga hostages. The President will surely demand answers as soon as possible.
"Why don't we use S? This is a perfect opportunity to test the attack specialization of S," suhestyon ko naman dahil hindi ko na sila matiis pa. They are wasting too much time.
"You're ignorant. That's why we hire you to do a test on S. We are not yet fully familiar with the advance AI. What if this thing doesn't work as promised? What if there are inconsistencies? We cannot afford to take the risk of using the AI without a proper test!" Sigaw sa akin ng isa sa mga personnel.
Of course, normal lang na masigawan ako. Lalo na at hindi naman nila alam na ako ang gumawa kay S. I will be dumb if I get angry over it. People within the room right now are pressured and easily get irritated.
