Hostile Takeover 1
None of the ministers were under any illusion that their task was one without risks. As great as the benefits that came from being in their current positions were, that was how severe the risks were too, and none of them wanted to lose everything after all they had achieved so far. The only difference between Bolovia and the others was that she was more aggressive and forthright in her approach to securing every advantage for herself. But in the case of the anomalous source, without the consent of old Ludwig, it was impossible to wrest any control over the project from him, as he was given full authority over it by the administrators themselves. That was why Bolovia had been gathering support from the rest of the ministers to exert pressure on Ludwig and make him comply. But with the sudden event that had just happened and the risk of exposure now prevalent, an opportunity to force old Ludwig to comply had presented itself. Bolovia was fully ready to exploit the situation to h
Hostile Takeover
Faced with Credence’s reprimand, the meeting became much more civil, with minister Cole and minister Bolovia no longer going at each other’s necks. There was silence in the meeting room for a while until minister Eisendale finally spoke up, asking, “What else do we know about the earthquake—specifically regarding the anomalous source project?” This question was directed at old Ludwig, but it was minister Bolovia who answered. “The project already risks complete exposure. As of a few minutes ago, I received information that the fifth division of the security bureau, which is the closest in the area, had already arrived on site and begun investigating the cause of the earthquake. It is only a matter of time before they discover the black site facility buried deep in the hill.” Hearing this news, all the ministers were immediately alarmed. “That fast? Then aren’t we wasting time here by doing nothing?” “Exactly! The anomalous source project can never be known to the public an
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
