Urgent Gathering At The Hive 1
Old Ludwig had no choice but to explain what was going on. He told them about the earthquake and the black site facility located inside the hill, where the testing and experimentation on Cale—whom they all knew as the anomalous source—was being conducted.Hearing this news, all the ministers except Bolovia were immediately surprised and quickly came to a realization.“So that’s where you were keeping the anomalous source and conducting experiments on it. Who would’ve thought it was actually so close to home? I thought you’d have smuggled him into the wilds just to prevent any of us from getting our hands on him.”Minister Eisendale was the one who spoke, only for Minister Cole to follow up sarcastically.“Heh, in the end you couldn’t protect your secret and keep things under control, and now you’re forced to come and share it with us. So much for hoarding everything to yourself!”After saying this, Minister Cole suddenly shifted gears and addressed Minister Bolovia, asking, “But you d
Urgent Gathering At The Hive
At the same time, in multiple locations all over the fortress, several people were getting the same message all at once…A few minutes later, an emergency conference meeting was being held by Hive members to discuss an urgently pressing issue.Eight people were gathered, all of them in different states of untidiness, showing just how hastily they had all tried to be here. As it was early in the day, most of them had other engagements prior to this that they had to be pulled out of just to show up for this meeting.As soon as everybody was gathered, one of them immediately spoke out in irritation.“What is all this fuss about? I was handling a very important task when I suddenly received the summons to gather urgently without so much as an explanation as to why. So, whoever is responsible had better have a very good explanation for all this!”That person wasn’t the only one with complaints. Several others among the eight also expressed severe dissatisfaction at being dragged here on su
Insurance
What was a black site?Simply put, they were unregistered, unregulated, hidden locations that operated outside the purview of any fortress’s administration. In a way, they were secret facilities where anything could be conducted without the official knowledge or approval of any governing body inside the fortress.The activities carried out in black sites varied widely, ranging from illegal manufacturing and distribution of contraband products to immoral acts like torture, unlawful imprisonment, or the forced experimentation on ceruleans.By this description, underground fight clubs and black market hubs were technically types of black sites, since they existed outside official regulation. However, they were a special case because their existence was usually widely known, along with the activities carried out within them.True black sites, on the other hand, were completely hidden from everyone except those directly involved in their operation.It was nearly impossible to stumble upon
Grim Intimidation
“Sir, we have discovered something.”As soon as Officer Woniel reached Conrad, he went straight to the point and gave his report.Turning his attention away from the two accompanying individuals, Conrad asked, “What did you find?”Officer Woniel replied, “We found a black site facility built deep inside the hill, extending at least fifty meters underground, sir—maybe more.”Hearing this, Conrad glanced at the two people beside Woniel while musing aloud, “Is that so? How did you discover this?”Woniel answered, “The partial collapse from the quake revealed a hollow inner cavity inside the hill, exposing part of the facility’s top structure.”“Then do you know what type of black site facility this is?” Conrad asked again.“No, sir. We were still in the process of investigating when we ran into these two individuals here, who requested to see you.”Now that the matter of the man and woman beside Officer Woniel had come up, Conrad finally turned to them and asked directly, “And who are yo
Another Troublesome Case
After going over the previous crime scenes, it wasn’t that Conrad hadn’t discovered anything useful—it’s just that what he discovered couldn’t help him in identifying the identity of the killer right now. But it did help Conrad create a profile of the killer and their motives.Conrad believed that the reason the killer was attacking all these people and consuming their blood was because they were injured and wanted to recover.The reason he thought this was because during the killer’s first few attacks, there were a lot of lingering traces of a huge battle that took place, which suggested that the killer struggled a little before taking down their victims.It was the same for the first few times they attacked, suggesting that they weren’t significantly stronger than their victims, and only in later attempts did the traces begin to disappear as it became significantly easier for the killer to overwhelm their victims—suggesting they were growing stronger.When you considered this, the r
Drawing Attention
The commotion in the laboratory did not go unnoticed. With the violent quake that served as a precursor to the fateful showdown in the lab’s lower levels, it was very hard not to notice that something was going on.Especially in the outer district of the fortress where the laboratory was located… as soon as the quakes hit, every resident of the outer district was alerted, with many who lived close to the epicenter of the quake running away and abandoning everything in panic.All of this naturally drew the attention of certain entities within the fortress, all of whom made a beeline for the hilltop upon sensing the commotion.It was only a matter of time before the center of the quakes would become surrounded, but amongst the interested parties, the security bureau was the first to arrive, responding quite swiftly to the disturbance, as was their duty.Conrad stood outside facing a partially collapsed hilltop, which was suspected to be where the quakes had originated from.
