Solar Warden

Time to go Part 59

Knight went down to Samuel. He didn't want to talk over wireless. They had power again and the lift was working. Samuel was on the controls in the new room they opened.

"Commander you need an update?" Samuel asked.

"Yes and I have a new task so the update first."

"This energy storage has power for over a month. At least for that what we need. I found out how to activate the generator if we would need it. We also can close the doors now. Even turn on the generator. But without the control room it is worth nothing. The generator needs the storage system as buffer. I can lock down this control room only with our wireless connectors. That means it is hackable. The generator doors can be controlled by our side only. But if they get the control room they can cut the power. So the generator doors stay in the status of the power loss," Samuel reported.

"We can live with that as we leave anyways. So close down the doors after I recalled the troops. The next mission is to scout the cave we found with drones. Is that possible at that long range. We will fall back to the shuttles in the meantime," the Commander explained what he wanted.

"If we have drones, yes. But we need a nearby relay like a combat drone or our communication relay. Depending how many drones we have they can also relay and fly deeper into the cave. Also there is an option to scan and fly back and transmit. That might be a problem if they get shot," Samuel replied.

"That means it works. You have some time to work that out. A shuttle will pick you and SW-3 up near the canyon. They have some drones on board. The exact number I don't know yet. Do you need to do something here?" Knight asked.

"No, I already have prepared everything. Just was checking the control interface by myself. We already transferred all information from here to the Icarus," Samuel replied.

"Good, then we can leave?" Knight wanted the lock down the sub level.

"Yes, sir." Samuel followed him.

"SW-7 move back behind the power generator. Then prepare to leave the facility," Knight ordered.

Samuel closed the door of the energy storage and control room. Two of SW-7 came back from the train tunnel with their bikes, the others were in the front hall of the power generator room. They had to lift the anti-gravity bikes higher to get around the generator. But that was no problem.

Samuel and the Commander went in last. Then the next door closed through the command of Samuel.

"Now I have to cut another cable. Then we also have not the imminent control of it. But are secure from hacking," Samuel informed.

"Go on." Knight went out of the generator room joining Davis. "Are the bikes already outdoors?"

"I brought them in the hall before the lift. They could be also used as sentry in a limited way," Davis replied.

"I just wait for SW-3 to arrive, then we will leave. So I hope we won't need to defend here," Knight told him. Then went to the others. "Diaz, Pearce move your teams up and prepare for the departure."

Samuel was finished he left the generator room and closed the door. At the moment only three of SW-7 were here. The rest headed to the lift.

The Commander went into the autopsy room. SW-2 was guarding there. Jones had finished it and was also with the others outside.

"Are we done here?" the Commander asked.

"Yes, sir. We found no implants. But he had most organs twice. This explains why they are harder to finish off," Freeman reported.

"But only one head. We will see what that information brings us. You also can move up with your troops," the Commander replied and went with them to the lift. "SW-7 move all to the ground level."

The lift was coming back. He, Samuel, SW-2 and therest of SW-7 went in.
