Code Lyoko: Revolutions and Evolutions

Chapter 37

Thank you for your patience for this chapter to be completed. I took a week off in general, and then I took off for Easter weekend. But I'm happy to be back in the groove after hitting a bit of writer's block admittedly. I thank God for his help in giving me the fire and the plot to keep this writing possible. I also thank all of my readers for, without your feedback, I couldn't grow as a writer. Thank you for your continued support and your review. As always, read review and enjoy!-Pagliacci-11.

Terrance was typing at his terminal, overseeing the final touches of Lyoko. As he was overseeing the final touches, he received a call. Yolanda was on the other end, and as he entered some last lines of code, he asked, "What's going on?"

"Our friend is being relocated. Complications arose as I'm sure you knew would come along sooner or later."

Terrance leaned back in his chair, "I'm aware. I wish it didn't have to happen this way, but such is life, unfortunately. She compromised her position, but it's not the end of the world; we do have a few more productive field assets."

"I know, but we can't afford to take these risks, exactly. You know that."

"Indeed, I do. We'll be careful in the future. Where has she been relocated?"

"Not exactly within the desired range, but it will still work for our purposes. Tell Sylvia to tone things down, we can't risk compromising the mission."

"Will do. How is the angel?""

"She's alright. She's fully recovered, and she's back in her room."

"Alright, we'll keep an eye on things from here on out. Also, we came across some troubling things lately. Eagle cannot be allowed to continue her present course. I'm going to speak with Sylvia, and we will discuss neutralization options."

"Best hurry on that front. Things are already in motion that need to be remedied sooner than later. There is something that came to mind. What about Geppetto? We could use him."

"That exactly what came to my mind. It would be easy, it would be clean, it would be silent, above all, it would be efficient for our purposes. Besides, once we explain the severity of what is approaching, we will be able to work freely."

"What do you predict to be the ETA until Geppetto is ready?"

"Once he's green-lit, it will take an approximate six hours. It will be easier once we figure out how to corral the incoming resources."

"Well, we know the numbers that are coming, so that's easier to figure out. But can we properly acclimate them as we need to, considering their volume?"

"We very easily should be able to. It all comes down to precision timing. Bear in mind that we have a set window even when utilizing Geppetto. It will take time, but in theory, if I've done my math right, we should be able to make full use of the compliment and achieve our end goal."

"Mm-hmm. What about the conversion process?"

"That's left up to our system itself, which has been suitably prepared for this eventuality. Once we start up Geppetto, it will set those directives as default and will operate until manually told to stop."

"Okay, and what of our—friends?"

"Have Emilio drive them to Site B, and we'll discuss it from there."

"Very well. What if we are compromised during that time?"

"Fallback to Protocol Six, and after that, we'll send them to the relay station where we can then send them home."
