Dimensions: Hidden Tech

14: Inside

A white wolf raised his arm, motioning for Nick to drive in. The bay had the number '13' written on the front wall, the only color on the white surface. They stopped the truck, feeling the room spin to the left.

The radio crackled to life. "Wait for the signal to unload. When it does happen, once you are done with your load, help the others move the humans to the main room."

Foxy opened the door. He jumped down, gazing at the walls. Doors were placed on both sides, another at the front. In the whiteness there was a small vent on the roof, located on top of the truck. "I think I found our ticket in."

Judy opened the door, Ajax behind her. "We got some extra help."

Nick seemed surprised, but he kept collected. "You see the vent up there?" He pointed upwards.

"You guys can't fit, though," Judy said.

"That's the thing. Me and Foxy are going to get the humans out of the trucks." He pushed the back of the cargo down, a ramp extending. "Just do what they say, and we'll find a way out for you." He climbed up and joined Andr in aiding them.

Andr grabbed the child, holding her tightly. "The least they can do is give us some medical attention."

Judy began to climb the truck, pulling her self up from the side mirror. She put one leg on the roof of the truck, pushing off and reaching for the vent. She managed to wiggle it out, placing it down. "So I'm going to find the control center, right?"

"Yeah. Most likely. Either that or see if you can find the mammal in charge." Ajax clamped around the room, his metal frame echoing loudly. "But I'm afraid I'm going to have to shut down so that they don't detect me."

"Can't you use your super advanced shit to get the map of this place?" Foxy asked.

Ajax shook his head, scratches shining on the light.  "What ever they disabled me with, it disabled most of my technology. It made me unstable, too. I could deactivate at any second." He reached into his side, pressing something down. A small CD ejected out. He handed it to Judy. "Take it. I don't know if I'll still be active but it contains my memories. Maybe you can find something useful."

She took it, her ears drooping. "If you are, just let us know or something," she quipped, albeit in a lowly way.

Ashton examined the cameras. A light flashed on his screen. 'Vent opened; Bay 13.' He clicked the notification, bringing the camera to Bay 13. Static accompanied the blank screen. "Why aren't the cameras up in the vehicle bays?"

The otter rushed to him. "Maintenance is working on it."

"Can I get Squadron D4 and D6 to check all bays," he said into a radio. He kicked his feet up onto the table. "Only fire if needed to."

Judy slid herself through the vents, cautiously looking through the grates. Soldiers were sprinkled around the area, although not wearing any armor and only having a rifle. 'I see about 5 soldiers in the room in front of the vehicle bays.'

"They just called us in, keep looking to see if they're any more coming in."

Foxy and Nick entered a room, the white turning to grayness, leading a line of humans. Andr was in the middle, coming up to a soldier. They were all leaning on patterned tables. In the middle seemed to be a staircase.

Nick turned to one of the soldiers. "You guys got a suppressor on you?"

He tilted his head. "Yeah, what for?"

"I have sensitive hearing so I kinda need it since I'm guessing we are going to kill some."

"The fuck? They are here to be experimented on, not killed. Although that does sound like a good idea." He reached into his gear bag, taking two suppressors out. "Have him take one."

Nick passed it to Foxy, screwing it on.

Judy scooted back, getting view of more doors opening and more soldiers and humans entering. 'There's a whole bunch of them. I would say try and sneak away. I'll go and see if I can follow you from the vents."

Andr tapped on Foxy's shoulder. "Judy said to see if you guys could sneak away and she's going to follow you," she whispered.

He nodded his head, tugging on Nick's arm as he went towards the staircase. "Let's go."

A rhino came rushing up, alongside several deers. "Go into a bay, and just go around the entire thing. Once you're done with one floor, just go down to the next." They went by, opening the bay.

"That was cutting it close," Foxy remarked as he went down the stairs. It, became dimly lit, only visible because of lights mounted on the rounded wall.

Judy crawled to the end, reaching a black fall. She peered down. "Come on," she groaned. She placed her foot on the side, making sure it stuck. Holding on to the side, she held a starfish pose and shimmied down. 'Oh sweet cheese and crackers that's a long fall.'

A hooded figure jumped down, softly landing on their feet. They blended with the darkness in the corner of a hallway.

Two foxes came walking down, facing each other and talking. "Human's shouldn't exist, it's as simple as that."

The figure crouch walked behind them, taking out a knife and a silenced pistol. It leaped up, putting one of them in a headlock. It then aimed the gun at the other, firing a shot. Brain matter dripped out alongside blood as he fell limply.

"What the fuck?" The fox slipped out, trying to get ahold of his gun, before it jumped forward, plunging the knife into his throat. They fell down, blood spraying the ground. His lifeless body let out horrid sounds, gurgling.

"The guards are down. I am currently making my way towards the control center." It had a male voice, speaking into his wrist.

A voice came from a earpiece. "I just scanned the area and it looks like there's a bunny in the vents, coming down to your level."

He scoffed. "Can you I.D them?"

"Name's Judy Hopps. Been on the force for about a year and a half. Discovered the Nighthowler operation and shut it down. Seem's classy. What do you want to do?"

"Stay with the mission, but I'm guessing that they are on the same mission as us, and we can not let her and who ever is with her to find out about me."

"We do have a blackout stun gun. It's located in your rear pouch."

Shaking his head, he continued down the hallway. "How far is the control room?"

"Looks like you got a lot of guards. Two foxes are coming down. Nick Piberious Wilde and Foxy Jakyl. Nick also stopped the Nighthowler case, but Foxy doesn't appear to be with any police force. Should we do something about him?"

A coyote walked by, the figure stiffening up. "No. We could compromise the mission." Light shone on him, the hallway brightening up as he kept going.

"And if they make it to the control center before you do?"

"Wait. If they do something, call off the mission and extract me."
