Chapter 24: Time To Regroup

Back at the SIC HQ

Commander Regelio: "Sir"

The executive turns towards him

Executive: "Ah, Commander. How's the report"

Commander Regelio: "Well you see, theres' a bit of a problem"

Executive: "Alright, let me hear it"

Commander Regelio: "First off, scout squad 6 has been completely annihilated. There were only 2 survivors. We are waiting for them to stabilize before we ask what damaged the convoy"

Executive: "What do you suspect?"

Commander Regelio: "Well, alot of the bodies have slice marks, a strange mark and seem to have been hit hard by some sort of melee weapon."

Executive: "I see. Rather strange. And what else?"

Commander Regelio: "Patrol squad 8 found 0242 along with 2 other unidentifiable escapees. 1 of the SUVs was destroyed and the other damaged. When pursuing, they lost them due to a screen of smoke near the exit."

Executive: "I see. Those guys sure are clever. Ill pardon you just this once considering its not necessarily under your control. But squad 6...we need to find out what caused it. It was also near the abandoned site 64. We are running low on manpower once more. Now we have to coordinate with site 62 and come up with something. Maybe...we should call them"

Commander Regelio perks up

Commander Regelio: "Do you mean-?"

Executive: "Yes. Those 3 should be able to do some damage. Afterall, they pledged their allegiance after the conversion. Plus, they're our only special squad in this region. If they cant do anything, we might as well alert the higher ups"

Commander Regelio: "Mr. Copper, do you think they would really partake?"

Executive C: "They'd have no choice. Even though they're directly under site 62, this is something that endangers our presence in this region. The only other one would be site 65 on the island of Cuba for the northern UA. The rest are down south in regions such as Venezuela, Colombia and Guyana. Not to mention the numerous facilities in the Eastern Star Federation and New Albion. With the fall of site 64, that means that there's only 19 facilities left. Not to mention, eventually regions will go to Europe as well once we take over this hemisphere."

Commander Regelio: "We really do seem limited. We need to hunt down those escapees and reclaim site 64. The scientists have not done any conversions recently but are planning bigger things"

Executive C: "Precisely. Schedule me a meeting with the Executive of 62."

Commander Regelio: "Aye sir!"

A roach is seen exiting the room. The roach crawls down the hall and takes a turn where Mandy is. Mandy picks up the roach and you can now see its a robot. She sticks the robot roach into her pocket and takes out her headphones. Commander Reg can be seen walking in the other direction from where she is. Mandy sighs before walking off. When she does, she encounters Laura

Laura: "Oh, hello Mandy"

Mandy: "Hey Laura"

Laura: "I need an inmate tended to. Can you go grab a nurse from your wing"

Mandy: "Every wing is under me Laura. Doesn't matter where i get the nurse from as long as its a nurse"

Laura: "There you go again with your smart talk. Just go get one to tend to the patient"

Mandy: "Understood"

Mandy closes her eyes and sticks her hands in her pockets as she walks off.
