Form a defensive formation right now!" shouted the red beret commander through his megaphone, his voice now cracking and trembling violently, holding back panic. "Do not retreat! They are just holographic illusions! Our modern weapons can definitely destroy these cheap illusions! Shoot!"
"Commander! Our radar is messed up! The helicopter instruments are all dead!" the panicked voice of an Apache pilot was heard from the communication radio, leaking into the grou

Zero and One Justice
"Please, I beg you, Thorne. I have billions of Euros in offshore accounts. I can give it all to you. Don't kill me!"Silas Croft's scream shattered the cold air in Panopticon's main server room. The usually flawless tech sociopath now backed away in panic until his oversized chair toppled over. His body hit the glass floor hard. He sobbed, crawling backward trembling, away from the horrifying figure stepping into his room.On the main monitor screen behind Silas, the AI system still blinked bright red displaying the text *target deceased*. However, the reality standing before him was very far from dead.Caleb Thorne ignored the pitiful wailing. Every breath he took sounded wet and gurgling, creating a horrifying noise due to his right lung filled with blood. The jagged piece of steel spear was still firmly lodged in his chest. An incredibly sharp pain tore his nervous system every time he stepped forward.Caleb stopped walking. He vomited a clump
System Error
"You have truly lost your mind, Thorne!" shrieked Silas Croft from behind the loudspeakers, his tone shrill cutting through the billowing nerve gas. CRAAASSH! The solid, pointed steel spear as thick as an adult's arm slammed into Caleb's body without mercy. The cold metal tore his white shirt, shattered his right ribs with an incredibly loud snapping sound, and pierced straight through, tearing his right lung. The jagged steel tip protruded out from Caleb's back, dripping pitch-black blood mixed with fresh red blood onto the glass floor. Caleb coughed violently. Fresh blood spurted from his mouth, wetting the floor beneath his feet. "What did you just do, you idiot?!" roared Silas from inside the safe server room. His voice cracked with a completely irrational panic. "What kind of combat tactic is this?! You killed yourself on purpose!" "I am turning off your machine, Silas," answered Caleb quietly. His breat
Discarding Logic
"A very touching sacrifice, Mr. Thorne. You truly let yourself die a foolish death for a woman and your pet dog."Silas Croft's synthesized voice echoed bouncing off the steel walls of the fiftieth-floor hallway. The flat tone of artificial intelligence pierced through the increasingly thick gray-green nerve gas smoke.Caleb Thorne coughed violently. He vomited clumps of black blood onto the glass floor. His right leg, torn by a bullet, felt incredibly heavy as he forced himself to step forward. His black suit was already torn and soaked with his own bodily fluids."They are not pets, Silas," answered Caleb with ragged breath, staring straight at the end of the long hallway before him. "They are my family. And I never let junk machines touch my family.""Family is a biological weakness. An inefficient variable that always leads to destruction," replied Silas through the ceiling speakers. "Look at yourself now. Your lungs are beginning to fail proc
The Bleeding God
"Fall back, Viktor! You will die a foolish death if you keep standing in front of me!"Caleb Thorne's voice sounded hoarse and panting. His breath raced hard on the cold server room floor. Silvery-black blood continued to flow heavily from the torn wounds on his left shoulder and right thigh. The thick fluid soaked through the remains of his white shirt, creating dark puddles that reflected the flashes of gunfire."A good dog never leaves its master when under attack, My King!" roared Viktor Krum accompanied by a shrill, mad laugh.The Russian giant stood firmly withstanding the rain of bullets. Three gaping holes in his stomach and chest continued to spew fresh blood. The barrel of the Gatling machine gun in his hands glowed burning red from overheating, but he kept pulling the trigger towards the ceiling. Unfortunately, Viktor's bullets only destroyed concrete and empty cables. Panopticon's spider drones moved with an agility that made absolutely no sens
One Step Too Late
"Execute the anomaly now."Silas Croft's mechanical voice echoed chillingly from the ceiling speakers, giving an absolute command to his killing machines.For an ordinary human, realizing a trap exists in less than a second is an impossibility. However, Caleb Thorne's military brain worked much faster. His one remaining eye had seen that the hundreds of red laser dots were not aimed at his chest, but rather locked onto the empty space exactly one meter to his left.Caleb knew that was his landing spot. However, the electrical signal from his brain had already been sent to his leg muscle fibers. The exploding biomechanical momentum of a high-level soldier could not simply be canceled in mid-air. His godly combat reflexes had betrayed him.Caleb leapt to the left at lightning speed.RATATATATA!The sound of automatic machine gun fire from hundreds of turrets shattered the quiet air of the server room. Thousands of high-caliber bull
The Unguarded Glass Fortress
"This place is too quiet, Caleb. Even for the size of a secret data syndicate headquarters."Isabella Vane whispered sharply while pressing her back against a main lobby pillar. Both her hands tightly gripped a silenced semi-automatic pistol. Her eyes, emitting wild silver flashes, swept every corner of the spacious room.They had just stepped into the Panopticon skyscraper in the heart of Frankfurt city. The giant building was made entirely of pitch-black glass that absorbed the street light. Just as Isabella had said, the main lobby lined with gray marble was completely empty. There were no security guards patrolling. There was no receptionist behind the marble desk. Even the metal detector gates in front of the elevator access were completely dead.Caleb Thorne stood tall in the middle of the lobby. His black suit covered the ancient bone vest he wore. His right hand reached into his pocket, pulled out a white handkerchief, and he coughed softly into th
