Chapter 31

[ Moira Head Office Detected_ ]

"I found it," reported Seth in a tone of firmness as always.

Since successfully defusing the weapon of mass destruction, Seth feels he is getting an incredible injection of energy. Face intense situations, get him addicted to the adrenaline rush that rises, and the excitement of successfully completing missions or blowing up the target's head so quickly,

The pleasure he did not get in his whole life. Seth's decision to accept Raven's proposal and employment contract is anti-mainstream. It doesn't matter to him, finishing off the bad guys.

The idealist has always wanted to finish off the type of people like this crazy group. Seth would never mind being sent to any region to hunt down his targets.

Large steel-walled room. The fortress was magnificent for Moira alone while all her subordinates worked in dangerous areas, and they could have been killed horribly at any time.

Moira’s office was different, the only place with nil radiation exposure levels.

"What a fucking woman! She can relax in the fortress of her office safely, away from radiation exposure." Seth grumbled, cursing. "I was astonished. Here the radiation exposure is very high; how can the room be safe like this, and can you avoid it all? I mean, her office is still inside the facility. Come on, there must be something in the way? Steel doors are not enough."

[ Find it. Whatever the odds are, it could lead us into Avalscar_ ]

Seth nodded. "I'll find a way to get in there."

Looking for a driveway option, the steel door was fitted with a digital numeric keypad panel and required a Moira access card. Seth remembers he got a special access card while looting Moira's corpse.

"Oh, yes. Looks like it's here."

The Access Card was marked by Moira's fingerprint and a photo of her face. Seth put it in the slot; now it remains to decipher how much the digital code is. Using his tablet to hack again. It took Seth about two minutes to gain access to the steel door.

The steel door moved slowly. The top light was originally red; it has now changed to green. Something whirring sounded from inside the door.

[ Cssssssssshhh! ]

Wide open in half, white smoke came out from under the door; Seth slipped into it. After the steel door, there is a particular glass door that opens wide when the steel door behind Seth's body is tightly closed.

"Oh, I know why this place is so safe. This special bulletproof glass also guards it. But it's still weird. You know, it's like there's a big wall separating them. This is not the only barricade. There must be something else."

Seth moves wary, suspicious. Perhaps Moira set a transparent trap in case someone unwanted seemed to sneak in. However, this is indeed the safest place in the facility. Seth put the gun in the holster again.  

"Too vigilant."

[ You have to be careful, Hunter.  ]

Seth began to search all corners of the room, looting archives, laptops, and documents scattered on the table. He found a personal record with the code name; Hellion.

"I found all the documents. Important archives. Hellion. This is what you're looking for, Raven. So, the disgusting and annoying green liquid has the name CTX12. That's the biochemical name. Self-made derivatives of the reaction become more dangerous. These crazy people suck. Can you−"

[ Nice. We will extract all those important documents. You have nothing left. Cargo is on its way. ]

Seth read the file carefully. All descriptions and markings on the boards are taped to the walls. Those files are the cylindrical designs of portable weapons of mass destruction that he successfully disarmed earlier.

"She sold it illegally. This project, Classified. She lied to Barkovitch just to play him. I told you, didn't I? That woman poisons the world and sucks!"

[ You executed him. Don't take this personally. ]

Seth laughed mockingly. He shrugged his shoulders. "Who made this personal? That's you, right? Yeah. I'm just teasing you, Raven."

Using mask scanner mode, he searches for the whereabouts of Moira's secret safe. He has yet to find any leads on Avalscar. But, he was sure – Moira must have hidden it for her own sake.

"Where are you hiding? You must be around here somewhere, right? Remembering your master. Avalscar is so very important. She must have hidden it in the safest place, so no one could find it."

From mask scanner mode, Seth discovers the safe is behind a small cabinet where Moira designed the room to be a relaxing room, inside which there is a large flat-screen television.

Seth fumbles, and something strange is detected behind an antique relic statue at a slight angle of several degrees to the left. He grasped the head of the antique relic and tried to turn it.

"I know! Moira must have a secret room."

When the statue was rotated, something opened wide from the other side of the Cabinet slot. He moves robotically, and a steel box with a digital lock button comes out.

"Huh, she always uses the same pin. Who would have thought? Moira's not that smart?"

The safe is wide open; this time, a lever is inside. Seth frowned. "A Handle?! Another way to the gates of hell?"

[ You're being sarcastic, Hunter. ]

"Insensitive," Seth said, laughing blandly. He lowered the lever.

Another room on the other right side wall was wide open.

"Bingo. I found something. Looks like a secret room? No one would have thought, would they?"

Seth stepped into it; the room was as big as a compartment. There was nothing but a special storage box in clear glass with a strange Cube object with an unusual surface.

The mask scanner mode system identified that it was Avalscar.

"Gotcha. I'm with Avalscar, Raven."

[ Well done, secure it, Hunter. The cargo has arrived close to the side of the container. Make it way. Continue the rest of your mission. ]

"I get it done."

Bulletproof glass box, Seth does not detect mines or anything in the vicinity. He touched her side, the atmosphere calmed down, and nothing happened. He was looking for a way to get the Avalscar out of there.

"This Cube has a strange shape. This is Avalscar, right? It's just like a regular antique. What good is this until it's up for grabs?"

[ We need to learn that as soon as possible so we can give you information, Hunter. We need a trial or some tests to make sure. ]

"Yeah. Whatever. The important thing is that my mission is completed quickly." Seth commented, relaxed.

The suit emits a blue laser beam to perforate the bulletproof glass. The laser beam melts each side, forming a hole in the box so the strange Cube can escape its throne. The object was treated special, stored carefully, and given a particular room in such a magnificent only for useless things.

"It must be more than my imagination. Remembering how Moira treated this. Very unexpected."

Seth intends to grab the Cube to get it out. However, suddenly he was stung by electricity which shocked him. He looked back, surprised; there was something strange with the Cube. He glows, forming a symbol and continuous intricate patterns that emit sparks resembling tesla.

[ What's the matter, Hunter? ]

"I got an electric shock coming from the Cube. It turns out that it can emit energy in the form of electricity. But, there is something strange. Suddenly, my body felt like it was getting a huge injection of energy."

The tablet system notifies important notifications and alerts that Seth uses full power mode. The Exosuit is on fire. All the equipment attached to his body – is in high stamina capacity.

[ Well, so we know what an Avalscar really is. She represents a very useful external energy-generating Cube. Its power can be applied anywhere. It is the perfect source of energy. ]

No wonder Seth felt strange inside his body after being stung. Avalscar gives him additional energy. "That's why the CTX12 is so energized and powerful to be used as a weapon of mass destruction. You think the weapons of mass destruction in that container have these CTX12 particles?"

[ Yes. Your theory is correct. CTX12 became dangerous because it used the Cube's energy source particles. We are still learning exactly how Moira does it. Hopefully, all of the woman's files can answer this riddle. ]

"So what should I do with all the CTX12 fluids that have been produced? You didn't know the radiation was so strong. I don't even know how to disarm CTX12."

[ You've permanently shut down all engine performance. Secure the Cube first. No contact with CTX12. We're still looking for options and information from Moira's file. ]

Seth stared at his watch. "Too time-consuming. Maybe I'll do a little experiment first. Mask scanner mode definitely helped me."

[ Don't take too risky a decision, Hunter. ]

"I'm used to the risk, Raven. Just trust me; I managed to disarm and defuse that weapon of mass destruction. I can definitely do it again. Otherwise, the bad part should explode. Let it be; at least I tried my best."

Slowly but surely, Seth tried to remove the Cube, although the electric shock was rather painful. He was looking for a toolbox with which to carry it.

"It must be made of plastic so this object cannot release its sting."

Seth finds a portable medical box. Immediately grabbed and took out all the contents onto Moira's workbench. Using the box, he slowly inserted the Cube and closed it tightly. "For a while like this first."

[ Now your mind is more open? ]

"It's a bit late. Sorry. Let you guys down."

After securing all the documents and valuables belonging to Moira, Seth came out of the office. He researched all corners of the fabrication using his mask scanner. The system detects the giant main tube of the CTX12 supplier.

"Hoho, that's the center. Where did you come from and produce?"

It's hotter than Seth thought. The ventilation did not work after he permanently disabled the entire control system. The reactor had no white steam turbine power spinning like the first arrivals before.

Seth had to neutralize all the liquid immediately; this heat could ignite an unexpected explosion. The problem is that the liquid is somewhat less stable; a slight shock or a drastic temperature change may result in an explosion, severe damage, and a profound impact.

Seth stopped to read Moira's work. With mask scanner mode, he finds the disarming parts of CTX12 quickly. 

[ NB: CTX12 disarmed. The chemical combination that produces the compound XX2OHC+ / MJ3NCL can neutralize the entire content of CTX12. The mixture can be made by...]

Seth grumbled irritably. "Oh my god, I hate all things chemical! Fucking Astrophel Moira. How could he make such a terrible weapon of mass destruction! You're dead, and you're hurting the living!"
