"Sir, it appears that our activities have been slightly revealed,"

"Define your statement," someone whose figure could only be seen through the light from an office lamp replied. The sound of writing could be heard throughout a seemingly large dark library.

"Around a month ago, the scouting party assigned to one of the southern steel elf villages reported that one of their HACO sentries assaulted an Eruditio citizen while completing its objective. Eruditio's authorities have compromised the said sentry and have been investigating."

The sound was silence, followed by the figure standing up.

"Have the scouts received the required information?"

"Yes, sir. It appears that neither the villagers nor the Eruditio authorities are aware of our presence. What are your next orders sir?"

The figure's shadow towered over a pile of papers and books, taking the map of Eruditio amongst.

"Send in our foot soldiers to cut off any entrances and exits of the villages. After doing so, raid the villages of its blacksmiths, metals, and energy cores," the figure smirked, "Project A.L.P.H.A will not fail."

Whenever Bruno entered the simulation using the new AROD Rooney had given him, he would always visit places he could and will never be able to go to. He would visit the most technologically advanced cites, to the rural villages followed by open, empty grass fields that he thought would never exist in such an advanced kingdom .

As Bruno stood under a large tree, he looked down at his stumps for legs. He murmured, "It looks like I'm floating."

"Lolita, come back here! We have to be able to forge these parts and send them to the factories!" Bruno jumped when a small but muscly steel elf ran past his incorporeal body.

"Coming, father!" the steel elf exclaimed, running towards a taller steel elf. Bruno followed 'Lolita' to her village just for fun. He then followed his curiosity by loosing himself in the village to spectate the different every day lives of an elf living in a village. Most of them were blacksmiths, others were miners, repairmen, mechanists, etc.

Before he knew it, he could see the sun setting on the horizon, which marks the end of the day. Bruno realized it may be time to rest from his simulation.

"Hey! You!" A tall steel elf shouted as he stomped angrily towards a workshop. The steel elf must have seen the people adorned with pitch black uniforms and goggles that concealed their faces, stealing their Noumenon core, metal ores and machine parts.

But what came so sudden was the curved blade that penetrated the chest of the tall steel elf. The small steel elf from before, Lolita, ran towards her stabbed father as he was slowly approaching death, his blood dripping on the ground.

"Father!"
