"No, just stunned for now." Dimitri said. "They'll come around in a few, I set the shocks to minimum".

"That's minimum? Wow, can't wait to try out maximum and..." Ayodele said.

"Back to training." Dimitri cut him short.

********************************

The final teams had a five against four due to what happened to Khalid earlier so they needed an extra man, Dimitri offered to be a part.

In the end the team scores ended as:

Link   102
Royal Rumble   51
Team Charlie   48
Queens 45
DEATH   45
Action   42

The top five kills were:

Agent Dimitri  59
Vladimir  21
Alexander  20
Bertha 19
Diana  19

We had already rounded up by the time Vladimir and Alexander came around, both looking disoriented and blank.

"That would be all for today, Vladimir and team Link will be leaders for now till the next training session, take the suits with you and study them, there are a lot of features on it but do not place your finger on the elbow, don't ever or you'll never recover." Dimitri said sternly. "Do not take any weapon as you return back to your resting quarters and be prepared for anything in phase two".

As we all returned we knew something was going to happen later on, Alexander and Vladimir had unfinished business.

********************************

In my room I study the suit, running my fingers through the body, it has this smooth metal texture but has an organic feel. Then I look at the wrist guantlets. On the left wrist is a curved main metal with various buttons, I tap one and a construct pops up.

'Hello Mr Charles, I'm NS7, your personal companion until this suit is no longer functional, how may I help you?' the construct says.

" Uhun? I need to know what exactly this suit can do". I reply.

'This is the prototype to the fully functional suit but with everything set to the bare minimum, It comes with a force field generator, insulated fibre mechanism, can fix damaged tissue to an extent, agility boost, strength boost, and can be modified to fit the present situation.'

"Do you know anything about the alien invasion that is yet to come?"

' I'm afraid that's classified information that I'm not in the position to give.'

"Hmmn, classified. I see. Can you reconstruct this suit into something different that doesn't show that I'm in a suit?"

'What do you have in mind sir?'

"Gauntlets."

The suit reconstructed to form  a pair of guantlets on my hands. Pretty sleek I thought.

'The suit will be summoned by thought sir'

I smiled and nodded.

I knew I was going to be ready when the insect man came.
