Immortals

Chapter 5: Persistance

"How was it Captain?" Officer Skoda asked.
"Well the good news is that we've discovered something new however the bad news is that there hasn't been a defence like that since..." She replied.
"Since five years ago." Officer Skoda stuttered.
"Yes since 2011." Andrea stated.
There was silence and then sighs.
"So that's all we've gathered." Andrea said bluntly.

"Cap'n, have you rested up?" The officer came from the hall.
"Oh, yes, officer. Thank you." Andrea said.
"So how did you defeat those few hundred?" He suddenly asked. Slowly putting pressure on her. There was a pause for her to think.
"Well, umm, you see I spent a lot of the time trying to find their weak spot/s. In that time I ran around and dodged them. Until I spotted it. Then I just put my swords through the head and it worked so I continued to strike them until they were all gone." She explained.
"Wow alright. Then how come you didn't die?!" He urged. Andrea felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"Um I'm feeling a little uncomfortable." She whispered and looked to Officer Skoda, asking for help with her facial expressions. He understood.
"I'm sorry Officer, but we still have a lot of work to do. If you don't mind, we will leave now." Skoda said slowly walking in between her and the Officer. The officer was intimidated but not satisfied.
"Alright, then. Goodbye Cap'n Andrea." He snickered. He left.

"Oh thanks so much Skoda!" Andrea shook his hand.
"What was that about?" He asked.
"I'm not sure. But it didn't feel right." She answered. She knew exactly what that officer was doing. They both stared into the dark hallway where the man had left.
"Ok. Get some rest, Andrea." Skoda said walking away.

She stood there. 'Yeah will do' she thought.

While Andrea and Skoda were off to their quarters that curious officer decided he would get answers by himself. When all people were supposed to go to sleep the officer went to sneak into the High commander's office.

He opened up the door, it creaked. Nothing moved. He carried on. He waited for a small click in the door then began crawling. He crawled along the floor until he reached the desk at the far end of the room. There were filing cabinets to the right and left of him. He decided to go left first. They were in rows of three and four high. He worked his way from the top left to the bottom right. He opened every one. Looking for officer details. He found the folders Labelled A, B and C in the first cabinet. They weren't the officers he was looking for. He moved on to the next and the next and so on. He kept on going, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K...Bingo. K was the folder he was looking for. He looked for the surname Konerko. No luck. He guessed her information wouldn't be so easy to find. He decided while he was in the cabinets to look for her partners information. Officer Skoda's information was in the S folder. He opened it up.

'Officer Kace Skoda', found it. It stated his strengths, weaknesses, abilities and his rank. The officer got slightly mad. Skoda was ranked higher then he was. 'Figures, he's teamed up with a machine after all' he thought. He put the files back and left everything how it was. He decided he wouldn't go to the right filing cabinets. It was most likely that her information was in the desk. It seemed odd but the officer didn't second guess. Nobody knew of the High commander and Andrea's past, so he didn't question anything.

He moved behind the wooden desk. Checked every drawer and every crevice, but nothing. He glanced over to the side and saw a glimmer of metal. It was between the desk top and the drawer. He pulled out the drawer and found a small compartment, it was big enough to fit a file in. He picked something up and gasped. He was incredibly shocked.
