Chapter 54 - Planning Next Operations

Within the outskirts close to Atlas City was a base of operations which belonged to the TEMPUS group, making it their main headquarters for their operations. Currently, Altare was chatting with Zai who was the only one present due to the other members scouting out the United States. Moona had to return to Indonesia to handle other matters since she did help out, she also needed to find more information since it is possible they also have connections in the Eastern side of the world. 

Regis Altare was rather concerned with the recent developments, especially with what he had heard about Merryweather and this Hina person as well. Things aren't exactly going in their favour as they can't pinpoint where they could find their main base of operations. Both Zai and Altare were currently in the meeting room which has a large circular table where they hold most conferences and business dealings. Zai was sitting on a chair with his legs up on the table as Altare was pacing about.

Altare: "It still doesn't make any sense..."

Sonzai: "It's very much clear that they're covering their tracks. One of them has to mess up eventually."

Altare: "I'm aware of that Zai, however it wouldn't be that simple. What we seem to be dealing with at the moment is the robots that is being led by the supposed Shadow. They are programmed for things that prevent us from tracking them."

Sonzai: "Even if that were the case, they all link around Atlas City."

Altare: "That too, yet I don't believe that the Atlas Corporation is involved."

Sonzai: "How sure can you be about that?"

Altare: "I've done dealings with them under Yagoo's jurisdiction. If they were to backstab us, they would've done so a long time ago."

Zai honestly wasn't trusting that as he is aware of what Atlas Corporation has been doing behind most of Gunrun's operations and dealings. 

Sonzai: "Bullshit. They're doing illegal marketing by creating Artificial Intelligence that are combat ready. One flick of a switch, they can murder an entire population."

Altare then sighed as he looked at Zai.

Altare: "There's nothing I can do about that as we're under Yagoo's jurisdiction. There's nothing we can do to intervene in their operations or expose them without causing problems. It can lead to thousands of deaths, similar to you losing control all those years ago within that massacre."

Zai then stood up, aggravated almost immediately as he walked up to Altare's face, having an intimidating presence.

Sonzai: "Don't you dare mention this to my face again. Got it?"

Altare was sweating a little as he realized he pushed the wrong buttons as he calmed the situation down.

Altare: "I'm sorry, I said something that I shouldn't. But you get my point right?"

Zai then sighs as he takes a few steps back, understanding what Altare has said, but was still pissed off that he brought up the past.

Sonzai: "I get it. Just don't mention it again and we'll be fine."

Altare then nodded as they heard a beeping sound, which Altare recognized immediately. He walked up to the desk, pressing some buttons as a hologram of Josuiji Shinri appeared.

Altare: "Shinri. What news do you bring?"

Shinri: "It appears that everything connects to Atlas City limits."

Altare: "How so?"

Shinri: "From what we could gather, arranging from scraps that were left behind, combined with certain weaponry that is quite similar to Atlas tech... We suspect it to be somehow connected to Atlas."
