Chapter 26

[ Mission 2_ ]

[ Darkfrost. Nuclear Generating Facility. Mon, 22 Dec 40XX_. 10.12 PM_ ] 

[ Coordinate: -9°.10’221” S.248°.7’425” W_ ]

[ Wind: 10m/s to East 46°_ ]

[ Terminal Func//Index//A7HQ_ ]

[ Distance on target: 2400m_ ]

[ Target mission: [ Moira Astrophel, Keir Barkovitch, Braxton Collymor_ ]

[ Primary objective: Avalscar_ ]

 

"Oh, the cargo I've been waiting for," Seth muttered cheerfully. He ran while remaining alert to his surroundings. "Finally came too. It's nice to have cool equipment. I hope you brought me some good stuff, Raven."

 

[ We're sure you won't be disappointed with this one. Manufactured and made specifically for you, all equipment automatically connects to your Exosuit. It's definitely your style. ]

 

Seth was at the forefront of the enemy if not for his mask Scanner mode; perhaps he could not hunt down targets at night. 

 

All his missions must be done at night. Where the guard of the enemy area is weakened. Seth could have done his mission during the day. Only, he preferred to move in the middle of a pitch-dark situation. 

 

"I found the cargo, Raven."

 

[ That's all your combat needs. Put down the weapons you want to change. 9mmx17 melee lethal modified silencer Pistol. Flashbang and flash grenade hollow, 5000-grain magazines, and 70-calibre tactical sniper rifles; this series is lighter than what you're carrying right now. ] 

"Yeah, god bless the Montefalco system."

 

Seth unlocks the cargo lock with his identity tablet. Raven's cargo shipment needs an ID lock on the tablet. Anyone will not be able to open it unless using a particular digital identifier.

 

This is a unique access key.

 

[ Identity match, Hunter, XXX_ ]

 

The indicator light on the cargo was lit and turned green. Automatically the cover opens. Seth quickly changed all the combat equipment needed; he changed everything. He is more enthusiastic about his new equipment.

"Hoho. Nice gadget stash." Seth said, trying his new weapon, capable of firing position, comfort, and clear visuals even though it is 5000m away.

From his riffle calibre 70 sniper telescope, Seth could see the entire nuclear plant area in perfect detail.

[ Good hunting, Hunter. ]

"Wish me luck, man."

Seth strolled. Blending in with the darkness of the night after combing through all the areas using his mask scanner mode, he walks; away from dangerous mine areas.

Not far away, he walks into the enemy's front lines, but Seth gets an unexpected guest visit. He stopped, sitting among thickets and giant pine trees, hiding; his Exosuit automatically camouflaged well in the surrounding environment. 

"Behemoth Heavy Railgun Tank. We'll meet again. One of three hell destroyers. But this is different from the Tank I trained with. Looks like your behemoth design is better, Raven." Seth whispered, barely audible.

[ We produce different designs than those on the market. We modified it a little. It's not much different, but our armament is much more upfront than that Tank. ]

"I had a outstanding idea to destroy this Tank. Good thing you got me a good gadget stash, Raven."

[ Do it; impress us. ]

Seth walked backwards, slowly, silently. He prepared traps that were scattered in several places. Seth took out a stainless box. Stick it on top of the bushes. The Box emits a constant flickering indicator light.

"It will attract their attention. We'll see how you hold up, motherfucker."

Seth put other boxes in certain places. Per his intuition, he was sure Behemoth would fall into his trap.

[ Armed ]

"All set."

Seth threw at the front of the Tank with a large boulder.

[ Klontang!!!! ]

Behemoth missile shells instantly rotate 180°. Seth goes into the undergrowth. He smiled obliquely when his trap attracted the heavy tank railgun's attention.

"Gotcha."

The Tank was patrolling not far from Seth's hideout. Go round and round on a big road cutting through the forest's depths. Every now and then, he stops; part of the sleeve is like looking around for Seth's whereabouts.

Seth was about to close the gap. Installed some temperature detection traps in some places to keep the Tank Behemoth confused. Inevitably, one by one, he moved, approaching the stainless box trap containing electrostatic shock waves. Because the primary mission should not be an explosion in the area of a nuclear power plant. Seth attempts to lure the Behemoth out of the nest – away from the restricted area.

They are unaware of Seth's trap, as the tank wheels through a stainless box where the indicator light turns red; an electrostatic shock wave is ejected from the stainless Box, destroying vital parts of Behemoth's Tank. From the drive system, temperature or air control, and fire control. The invisible electrostatic wave killed the entire performance of the tank Engine without being noticed.

Slowly the behemoth tank struggled to move, the drive wheels faltered, and repeatedly, the sound of the engine roared fiercely. Finally, the Tank's wheel panels were detached from the lock hooks and destroyed.

Behemoth was seriously damaged, and the cabin control system was completely shut down. 

Seth patiently waited; behind the giant pine trees and the darkness of the night, he aimed his sniper weapon.

The hatch opened wide, and three Behemoth operator soldiers came out from inside the tank cabin and cursed at the damage they had suffered. They blame each other and complain that Moira Astrophel will kill them.

Seth fires his tactical sniper bullet with a quick shot, killing them silently. One attack; triple kill. All three Behemoth tank operator soldiers were killed-collapsing simultaneously.

In the sense of security, Seth came out of hiding. He dragged the three corpses to hide their bodies. Throwing them to the bottom of the abyss, Seth erased the traces of thick blood that seeped into the snow.

"No one will be looking for you. Sorry. But, I had to."

[ Nice job, Hunter. ]

"Oh, thanks. You flatter me, Raven. Let's continue the journey."

Seth turned around. He walked to the forefront again. Climb the highest cliffs in search of assault loopholes. The sounds of the turbine reactor plant sounded deafening. Vapours of high-pressure thermal white smoke emanated from it.

His footsteps stopped a steep cliff in front. Seth calculated the depth. That top peak is the perfect place to scout and execute. He has to reach there.

Seth prepares for a long jump. He's going backwards. Slung his rifle strap to his back. "Ready? Go!"

[ Hup! ]

Ran with long, firm, and substantial steps, Seth jumped. It's like he's flying through the air. Rarely does the steep cliff go further than its estimate. The crazier Seth, death-defying and left with no choice.

In fact, Seth couldn't believe that he was actually doing this.

It had occurred to him that he would die, freefall down the ravine, but his hand managed to grab the middle of the cliff, and Seth almost slipped. Thanks to his strengthened muscles, he contains athleticism, plus the performance of an Exosuit that automatically makes his body capable of taking any obstacle of death.

"Woah!"

Seth moved his hands, crawling like a spider; he quickly climbed to the cliff's top without difficulty. Even if the snow makes it difficult to walk. However, Seth managed to grab the lip of the cliff.

"Dammit. That's the stupidest thing I've ever done!"

[ Practice makes perfect, right? That cliff is acceptable for you. You went through a variety of exercises without a harness. Beneficial, isn't it? ]

"Talk is easy, Raven. If only you knew what it's like to fight to the death. But, I told you so many times. This is so much fun."

[ Sarcastic sarcasm. You're getting good at it, Hunter. ]

Seth just chortled.

Seth sat on the rocks, raised his binoculars, and began to scout the enemy area. The soldiers there wore full-closed uniforms as protection from exposure to nuclear radiation.

Seth's eyes wandered, searching for his target. Maybe he was lucky tonight. His sophisticated binoculars continue to scrutinize the entire angle while formulating a plan of attack; Seth weighs in. Full of accurate calculations because wrong-wrong; he could have died ridiculously.

In addition to completing this mission, he must be able to survive and return home safely to Oakenvale for his revenge. Seth swore he wouldn't die before it was all done.

"I also want to laugh at the suffering of others. I also want to know what it's like to ruin someone else's life."

[ Haven't you ever done that? When trapping Castor's team. That's how you ruined his life. ] 

Seth focused on his binoculars. "Not enough. The proof is that I almost got beaten to death by them. That's not enough, Raven."

[ Need more or not satisfied? ]

Seth snorted sharply; discussing them felt like his life was taken away by an evil death, trauma, anger, and resentment squeezed together. "Both of them. It will never be enough before they die."

Finding something interesting, some soldiers were seen hauling long containers out of the steel warehouse. Dozens of containers were carefully carried by them. Two officers behind them with Moira Astrophel.

"I see the target; they want to deliver something valuable in those containers. Special containers are seen waiting. It says Glische."

[ Glischë? It's a container owned by a German company. ] 

"Is he a buyer? Or just rent a container? We are still determining who's gonna order that, do we? Besides, we don't know what's in it."

[ Maybe nuclear weapons or something? Whatever it is, consider it dangerous. Can you see the barcode series? Let us search Cyberspace. We can track who's renting or where they're going. ]

"I'm not surprised, anyway. What else will we find? Yesterday Spain now Germany, interested in this crazy group? Wait a minute." Seth responded, twisting the sharpness of his binoculars. "Yes. I can see it – MEZKR1857156721857CVR?”

[ Cyberspace database_ ]

[ Searching barcode series MEZKR1857156721857CVR_ ]

The algorithm Matrix runs on Seth's tablet. Raven is still looking for that barcode series's shipping destination or container tenant.

[ We got it, Hunter. Details will be sent to your tablet. Check from there. ]

[ Cyberspace result_ ]

[ Status of containers leased from the Port of Bremerhaven_ ]

[ Sending location: Port of Oakland, U.S_ ]

[ Tenant Database: Phillip Anthony Graves_ ]

Seth frowned, staring at the analytical data on Phillip Anthony Graves. "The container will be delivered to the Port of Oakland. USA? How so? Isn't there a lot of security? This man-a, a renowned scientist and activist, was arrested for possessing C4 while entering a commercial airport. What the hell."

[ Therefore, find out the contents of the container, Hunter. Whatever happens, do not let the container go from the area. Execute them all. Failed this delivery. We are still determining what his plan is. We have a bad feeling about this. Keep in mind your primary mission is to find Avalscar. Stop them. ]
