""The Blackroom?"" Both Mathew and Greg exclaimed in unison then from that point on only Greg asked the next question as the elevator descended "You mentioned that name earlier, but what's so important about this so called Blackroom anyway, Chief?
"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing Sir. Why is this room so important and high clearance that we didn't even know about it or how to get there until you came and are now taking us there?" asked Mathew They made it all the way to the ground floor first then Jerry extended his hand in an attempt to follow the procedure for the elevator to go to the sub level floor next but the second his finger got close to the gold protruding rectangle shape with the wings emblem on it, the elevator started moving downwards, throwing him off balance."What the!" exclaimed Jerry in shock and confusion as he staggered, trying to get his heart rate back to normal as the unexpected motion of the elevator not only caused him to lose balance for a moment but also caused his breathing to spike a little.
After calming down, Jerry moved back and began to ponder with his hands on his hips "What was that about?" He mumbled to himself and got lost in thought, which was so serious that he needed for Mathew calling him multiple times before he snapped out of it.
"Are you okay Sir?" Mathew asked with his hand on Jerry's shoulder
The older looking man, without moving his shoulder slowly turned his head and stared intensely at Mathew's hand on his shoulder with a stern look, which immediately prompted Mathew to remove his hands from it and then Jerry went on to answered the question.
"The Blackroom, also the known as the real mainframe of the GHA which contains the access codes of all ever made Dot Log chips, implanted or not, regular ones like yours or more secured ones which high level officials like myself are about to get and also all recorded information of everyone with the chips in it's servers""Okay?" Mathew replied in a wondering voice, expecting Jerry to continue talking
"And as for why it's so important and high risk, imagine a terrorist getting his or her hands on all that information, all those personal information. Do you know the type of damage they could cause?" Jerry said as he looked behind to Greg for an answer but all he got was a side head nod meaning "No idea"*SIGH*
He exhaled then continued "Unbelievable. Imagine if in a best case scenario that they do a mass kidnapping or even worse a targeted kidnapping of secured personnel because they know exactly where said individual would be and the exact time they would be there from their previous daily log movement pattern."
This made Greg to wry in discomfort. He understood the magnitude of the image Jerry was trying to paint for him."Disconcerting isn't it?" Jerry said"Yes Chief""Bad but don't think that that's the worse case scenario""What could possibly be worse then that Sir?""Worse case scenario is they could figure out a way to overload the chips, chips which people have close to their brains. Do the maths yourself, which I know might be hard for one of you but just try and calculate the number of deaths that would be caused by an explosion in the head and if not death then the number of comatose or vegetative state patients due to nerve damage"*GULP*"Wow, I never thought something so good could inherently be bad just because we don't see it yet" Mathew spoke out after being overwhelmed by Jerry's reply then he continued but is interrupted by Greg who was previously in deep thought.
"Hmm! Inherently bad just because we don't see it... hmm!" Greg murmured with scrunched forehead."Why are you repeating exactly what I just said?" Mathew asked out of annoyance and a little curiosity"Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking of how you sounded an awful lot like that kid Michael""Michael? Who'is that? What are talking about?" Mathew asked rolling his eyes."No, don't be offended but I was just thinking that what you said is exactly what he talked about outside today so I was just thinking that you were quoting or just copying him. He also sounded like he was quoting someone else too cause no way a normal kid talks like that so if you're offended I said you're copying a kid then don't worry cause most likely you're copying someone else older by copying him." Greg smiled then scratched the back of his head coyly."Michael! Oh you mean that kid who always makes noise while people are trying to do their business. That kid! So Michael is his name? Sorry but I don't listen to anything that brat has to say so no way I was trying to copying him. Maybe he's the one copying me""How..." Greg looked embarrassed for his sibling "He said the exact sentence you just did but before you so how can he be the one copying you instead of the other way around""I don't know, maybe he's psychic and that's how he knew what I was going to say and said it before me so by default that's copying" Mathew retorted then folded his arms."Psychic? It's true that he has that vibe about him but don't be ridiculous, psychic are just tricks like magic shows and superpower in movies" Greg laughed "What nonsense are you two talking about this time?" Jerry addee his voice into the conversation and the commanding voice from their superior caused Mathew and Greg to jolt back to their senses."Nothing Sir. And Sir, I wanted to ask before I was interrupted, but if this information you just told us is so high level then why are you disclosing it to low class personnel like me and Greg. Did we get more clearance aside from just being permitted to go to the sub level floor itself but to also hear about all of this "
Jerry grinned "Don't worry about it and your qualifications. Before anyone is allowed to work here our agents would have already investigated every single thing about them first. At the moment I know more about you two than you even know about yourse—"
*GOOM*
The sound of the elevator stopping abruptly at the sub level.
"We are here! Common let's check it out" Jerry commanded as they all waited for the doors to open. Jerry was reaching for his strap to pull out a taser...MOMENTS EARLIER
"Fuck! What am I going to do now?" I said out as I pulled my hand along my face in a downward motion, stretching my under eyelids in the process and then pinching my cheeks on both side with all my fingers.I was going out of my mind panicking and I couldn't even think straight in situations of extreme stress. I abandoned my gear and walked over to the door then I stretched upwards to look through the only transparent area on it.[ERROR] The display continued to give the same message but this time it was flashing red*STRETCH*
No matter how much I stretched and even went on the tip of my toes I still wasn't able to get my head up to the bottom of the only transparent section of the door
*JUMP*"I have to see what's on the other side" I said then braced myself and jumped as high as I could and with my hands I held on the the bottom part of oval shaped transparent section of the door. Grip firmly in place I pulled my entire body weight upwards with my arms vibrating because of stress on them and the exhaustion I was feeling until my head was finally able to see through the door
*BLINK* *BLINK*
"What the?" I muttered as I was finally able to see through. However, the view I got was something I wasnt expecting. *GULP*
According to the blueprint I had, there were only two rooms and two security panels to get through before the Blackroom? But, what I saw through the small transparent oval glass at the top of the door was another security room which didn't have a panel but used motion patterns with temperature and body rhythms to grant access.Only people whose body stature and rhythm while walking and standing with their natural body temperature already being recorded as authorized could make it through the room."You've got to be kidding me. This wasn't supposed to be here. Why is this here— Woah!" My hands gave in and I unknowingly let go and fell to the floor"Ouch!" I wasn't expecting the fall so instead of landing on my feet I landed on my butt then I hunched over in a sitting position to rub and massage it to relieve the pain while k had a frown predominantly pasted on my countenance."Looks like I actually needed Brian after all" I let go of my butt to sit properly and lowered my head defeated.[ERROR] The display went from a green colour with white writing the moment I failed the test to red with the words written in black and flickering on the screen. My overwhelming emotions had made me to forget about what would happen next if I didn't input the correct DNA blood sample as I was too lost in thought to think about it.Everything about this mission had been theoretical until I jumped back and even up to now and I hadn't had any experience breaking in or carrying out secretive operations of any magnitude beyond my sneaking to my bunker and evading the GHA watchful eyes so it wasn't a surprise that I would be terrible at this and would get overwhelmed when things don't go be way I planned.The wailing of the alarm sound were muffled to my ears as I heard them and all I could do was get flashbacks of all the planning and actions I've taken in preparation through the months just to get here and the GHA bastards still ended up winning because of my incompetence.*BEEP* *BEEP*
As the seconds passed I started to gain back my senses and awareness of my environment and the alarm and the urgency of things started to dawn on me.
"What am I doing—?" I tried to stand up when[SECURITY MEASURES ACRIVATED, LOCKING ALL DOORS] The display wrote and a voice said through the display in Divia's voice
*SLIDE*
Immediately the door of the previous room started to close gradually.
"Fuck!" I turned around to see the door closing in on me and then exclaimed

THE RIFT BETWEEN
I just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single reader that was able to get this far. Thanks for picking up this story and continuing with it even when the writing wasn't as good at the beginning and when the plot was feeling flat because I wasn't in a good head space or had enough free time to write what I wanted. Thank you for helping me grow as an author and tell my story and get your thoughts on it through the comments. Thank you for following me to the end of this journey. It's been almost two years since I started and finally the story comes to an end (or does it?) If you noticed I was kind of making things up as I went along which is why there are a few plot holes and things I forgot I had written before that didn't tie in well with the continuity of the story. This is my first ever book so a few mistakes are to be expected but regardless I apologise for them. I wanted to use this medium to both declare my appreciation for you guys as well as to pas
MAKING THE RESET
I had called my handler to meet me by a nearby coffee shop and by the time I got there he was already seated, waiting for me. Normally I avoid contact with him because it's always him hounding me about something but this was the first time in a long time that I was the one doing the reaching out."Sorry to keep you waiting Nick" I shook his hand then sat down."No problem, so, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting""I want you to tell me everything about the Arc Agents and what the GHA's real objective is" I didn't waste anytime to ask the real questions.Nick was shocked by the bluntness of my question then tried to deny everything I asked and said in that meeting, gaslighting me most of the time and so it ended up with me not getting any worthwhile information out of him. The meeting took place before I had to go for work so without getting anywhere we ended it and I went to work but I knew that my questions wouldn't stay with Nick but wo
CAN'T SAVE WHO'S MOST IMPORTANT
"Please make it in time""If I do this then maybe it'll make up for the fact that all of this happened because I jumped back""Please make it in time"I was currently stuck in a hellish nightmare which was entirely guilt driven. Every action and consequences of said action replayed in my head, panicking, unable to find peace until I woke up with a *GASP*After forcefully waking up, I reached for something with my hand only for that to be the ceiling of someplace I couldn't recognize or knew how I got there. I would pant, trying to catch my breath when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest.My teeth gritted and eyes squinting in pain, I reached for the source of this excruciating pain which was when I noticed the medical equipments I was hooked to and that I was on a hospital bed."This is familiar" I said internally after thinking of how it reminded me of waking up in a hospital as my host, the last time I jumped into the pas
BACK HOME
Mirajh jumped off from the top of the drone and they walked up to the others and because Mirajh was there, Talon quickly relinquished his temporarily given authority in favour of hers."Mirajh and Malkome, you guys made it. So what's going on?" Talon asked."It's over, all our forces have been killed and from the looks of it, we are the only ones left so the question now should be, what should we do next?"Once she said that all their forces had been killed, there was a unanimous dropping of jaws and none of them expected that it could have gotten this bad. They had completely underestimated the Arc Agents and the trainees. The GHA weren't even able to send their Forces Units to assist but the trainees alone along with help from the Arc Agents were able to decimate their entire forces."What about General Icon, does any of you know his whereabouts? If we can verify his status then we might be able to come up with a plan" Talon asked but seeing the look on
INTERSECTION
Levy who was close by and saw when Akarli was taking aim jumped in front of Boyo, trying to shield him with her body while I was beside the both of them, noticing too late until the shot had been fired.Jeremiah who the shot pulled back to his senses and he saw who she was firing at, the care he had for his best friend even though he didn't want to admit it made him lose it and reflexively he fired multiple shots at Akarli too, killing her on the spot next to Icon.All of this would happen in an instant but for some reason, because I didn't want any of my friends to be shot so badly that I dont know what happened but just like when that strange phenomenon happened back at the court during our escape and I managed to find where Boyo was because of it, it happened all over again.Suddenly everything began to slow down and the surrounding got pitch black with the only thing being as visible as day time were those in there with an angered Akarli holding on to the gu
FINAL PAGES
Once we were brought to the back, my eyes went to the elderly looking man sitting on a metallic chair with a caramel skin coloured lady by his right hand side. In front of them I saw two more individuals who weren't turned to us at the time we entered. One of them I couldn't tell their identity from their stature but the other I knew perfectly well who it was. "Char!" Before I could get the word out Levy called out to Boyo who once the both of them turned we saw an annoyed look on his face and it was clear by that look that he didn't want us to be there. The Upriser behind us pushed the both of us, telling Levy and I to keep on walking which we did until we walked up to where Boyo and the others were. "Nice to meet you, the both of you" Icon greeted us with a gentle smile which was obvious that he was hiding something from everyone, including those who were supposed to be his comrades in there. There was still something he failed to expose. "!!" Levy
