Chapter 13.2

The Southeast Military Base

51:23

[RY4N]-Nothing! Nothing at all! We got nothing ever since he disappeared! We are not progressing if we keep this shit up!

The young Officer seems to be talking to himself in the Great Leader's office, moving around mad about these times of his life. Some of his teammates seems to be present for a while as well.

[KYR4]-And what do you expect?? We didn't have a normal mission of ours for days now! The Great Leader was the only one making these missions possible! If those cowards didn't leave us one year ago, we could've gotten more information without Him present! It's obvious that we have nothing now!!

[MY4]-KYR4, take it easy...

[KYR4]-Okay, then YOU handle him, MY4!

[MY4]-*sigh* RY4N, those times aren't any better for us either. Please, just relax and clear up your mind. You were brothers, I'm sure you will find a way just like He used to.

[RY4N]-I don't think you understand something, MY4! I will never be like him! No matter the situation, he always found a way out of any problem, but I can't! Okay!? I can't do it! Don't you see?? I'm his shadow, nothing more! After all these years, I'm still not ready to be the Leader! I'm still not ready to face reality!

[MY4]-But--

[RY4N]- --No! No buts! Just admit it! If he was here, he already knew what to do! He would've already solved the problem! But he isn't here anymore!

[MY4]-Maybe He is still out there, RY4N!

[RY4N]-Then why didn't he return!??

MY4 doesn't say anything in return. In the end, she feels the same as him. Though LUK3 managed to make her feel better, she still worries about this whole incident deep down in her heart.

[RY4N]-...It's happening again! The past repeats itself again! The previous Great Leader died in the City of Above ten years ago too! But that time, the former Leader of the base was there to witnessed His death! He witnessed how the General killed Him in person! We knew He was dead for sure! What about CHE5TER then? Nobody knows where he went! Nobody knows what happened to him! Not even the soldiers managed to find his body! Back then, even without a will, we managed to continue the Great Leader's work! What about now? What about his work??

[KYR4]-So what if He isn't here!? Hm?? CHE5TER managed to continue your father's work because He didn't give up no matter how hard it was for Him! Why do you give up!? You said you want to continue His legacy, yet all I see is you complaining every single day of your brother's condition! So what if we have nothing? We had nothing from the beginning! 250 years and we still didn't have any progress in our freedom, with or without the Great Leader!

[RY4N]-Then, if you are so sure of yourself, what do you suggest, Officer KYR4?

[KYR4]-I suggest that you shut your mouth and stop crying about everything! Like it or not, you have to lead us now! Master was planning to make you the Leader of this base anyway, what's so different?

[RY4N]-...

[KYR4]-I swear, sometimes you manage annoy me more than LUK3, and that's a huge problem!

[MY4]-...Can we stop all of this? We should take a rest now. We are all tired, that's why we are so angry now.

[KYR4]-*sigh* Fine! I will see you all tomorrow morning!

KYR4 leaves a bit mad. Of course they are tired and angry. In the past days, all they could do is to investigate the enemy's city and they didn't manage to find anything new at all. The only way for them to find something useful was through their old missions, but since the last Investigator is nowhere to be found, that isn't possible.
