Finally, after 4 long days my laptop works again. They are not kidding that windows 10 have quite some error and problems, nevertheless it's quite good…. and free.
Nevertheless, here it is the part 2.
Captain John Shepard eyed the armed man down in the hallway carefully, he could felt his sweat dropped in his face. "Curse my lock" he say to himself slowly. Although he is glad that he led one of his platoon to an important job to protect the president he cannot say that the atmospehere is not tense. The new Russian President, Alexei Petrenko apparently is still fearful of possible attacks on him like his predecessor or like the ex-head of SGB. John really couldn't blame him though, but that's the price of controlling shadowy organization like Ganjin and the Green Brigade. Things are under control now though, he was on perimeter defense when Voeckler and two JSF SEALS, the Navy really like that name apparently, takedown Theron and the rest of the organization is being hunted one by one and things are safe. But no, the Russian President insist on one battalion of SGB guarding him, and seeing no way he would backdown, the Enforcer and the JSF and other participating countries forces all send one battalion too but most of them has to wait in the airport and only one platoon allowed to escort their respective leaders, along with the usual presidential guard. John was ordered to select one platoon from his company and led them, at first John is rather excited to be out of the range of the tanks from other countries but soon kind of regrets it when he saw what was used to be Buckingham Palace is now more appropriately could be called Buckingham Palace, apparently the UK send one regiment to protect it in the event the guards try anything funny, John is more concerned about IF they are the one that try anything funny.
The meeting room has many hallways leading to it so each country got assigned to one hallway each and the leaders go through the hallway to the door of the meeting room. Oh how the world has changed, John thought. Several years ago meeting like these would be filled by holding hands together and with a big smile posed for the camera and now the whole world watch on the tv and wait if the world would go to peace or go to World War III. Well, the world still have to wait though John thought while looking at the door to the meeting room, for the past hour it is full of cursing in the leader's native tongue and shouting match along with the occasional silence and other leaders try to quell them.
From the meeting seems to go it seems that the world has gone to World War III, but fortunately something hold them back by the leaders still "talking" until now. The other guards concerns him too, not the British palace guards in the hallway that hold their L86A2 quite tense as they expect the JSF or the Secret Service tactical team to fire on them anytime, it's the other countries guards. John expect them to burst the door to the hallway open and eliminate the guards and his team and take the president hostage, it would be a disaster to the USA. Sure their guards have the same amount of men and women but that didn't rule out the possibility of they making some sort of alliance right here right now, John honestly didn't believe that could happen but the possibility still exist, there are hundreds of guards other than the JSF and the Secret Service, men and women from Europe, Russia, India, China and not to mention the ever presence of UK to that themselves to gain favor from the European Federation and rejoin them, public opinion always seems to be largely anti some sort of Europe organization ever since Brexit and the rejection of the invitation to join the Federation proves it, but then the Russian deploys an entire battalion invading UK in search of the White Snow, the JSF and the Enforcer prefers small tactical team but no, the Russian has to sends an entire battalion and since then the public wish they didn't get out of the Europe and wanted to join the Federation and it's nearly happening but officialy the UK are neutral hence the London as the peace ground.
The world is shocked thought, the hunt for Ganjin and the Snow White gets uncovered in a security leak, no doubt by Ganjin as a retaliation. JSF black ops operation at Europe in the hunt for the Snow White and a Europe Enforcer Crops company assist the Ganjin stealing UAE's gold brings down the reputation of the countries and led the entire world to a new level of distrust.
And just when John finished the train of thought he heards footsteps of someone running near the hallway, the JSF troops nearby immediately run to take a look and before John could join them, they already reported back to him.
"Sir, it's the President's Chief of Staff and he wants to see the president right now. Over." The squad leader report.
"Why? Is something's wrong?. Over." John inquired. For a moment he thinks that it is some sort of attack by a spy ala the CIA or the Third Echelon, John glad it's wrong. But still, what is more important than saving the world World War III?
"He said that the NASA Director calls and wants to speak to him immediately. Over." The squad lead relayed to him.
Must be something important on Pluto, John thought for a moment, they did put it on television that the probe is nearing the chunk of rocks two days ago, but still it hardly matters, right? "Tell him that the president has spefically ordered to not interrupt the meetings and put all matters on hold and I believe that is the exact words from him and repeated by the Chief of Staff not long after that." John barks the order to the poor squad lead acting as a glorified messenger that has to still hold the Chief of Staff in the hallway. Over."
"Yes sir! Out" The squad reported. John then push his HUD on an access the squad lead's camera on, he could see that the squad leader and his squad tries to hold back the Chief of Staff and several other presidential staff. Shortly thereafter, the Chief of Staff and his staff seems to back down but immediately thereafter push through the barrier and the camera sways and shows the roof, apparently they somehow push down the JSF squad leader and seems to heading to the hallway.
John then the HUD back and immediately intercept the Chief of Staff with some of the JSF troops heading to the commotion and with the Secret Service too, and oddly the British guards just seems curious but not chase after them too. After going around the corner he could see a few JSF troops has pinned the Chief of Staff and his staff down. John then slowly walks towards the poor man that just enter his 50's and seems dazzled by the tackle of a JSF corporal and been pulled up by the corporal, fortunately this time the Chief didn't tries to run again. Honestly he tries to applaud the Chief for his bravery pushing down some of the best troops in the USA but is it really that important?.
After being pulled up John then proceed to approach the guy. "Alright, you just push through a squad of JSF and tackled down by another, what was it that's so important?" John says while completely baffled by the man's willpower.
"The NASA Director, they find something important in one of Pluto's moon." The Chief of Staff explained while tries to regain his breath and mind after the incident. "It's really important and really couldn't wait."
"Look, you tell the NASA Director that it can wait, and while he is busy looking into space, the President tries to save the world from world war III and unless the moon explodes and reveal some giant alien weapons than you can proceed." John said, he really curious of what the NASA Director want to say but alas this is not the first time such things happens and John has been warned by the Secret Service Special Agent in Charge. I mean the Vice President hasn't push the hotline to the Secret Service.
The Chief of Staff stares to the JSF captain and goes back and talking to his phone. John smiles and nearly do a 180 degrees back to his position before the Chief goes back to him. "He said yes." The Chief of Staff said again.
John is baffled again, surely he is kidding. "What yes?" He carefully eyed the Chief of Staff which seems so tired himself.
"He said that the Pluto's moon just explode and there's some sort of Alien artifact In it, could be a weapon he said too." The Chief of Staff seems couldn't believe what he just said.
"He said what?" John think that this is must be a joke, surely it's impossible. "Can I speak with him?"
The Chief of Staff then hands over the phone to John and John immediately talk to the NASA Director, "Mister Director, i must warn you that this is not a joke, if so why does the Vice President has not informs the Secret Service that the it is really important?" John explained to the Director.
"But I already ask the Vice President to do it." The Director seems confused.
John could hear that the commotion behind him and somewhat has goes stronger and turn back to see what happens and he could literally facepalm if not for the helmet. It's his other JSF squad behind him holding back the Secret Service agents that are trying to talk to him. This is why JSF did not suit becoming security guards he solemnly thought. He could saw the British guard look down to the noisy yanks.
He then motioned to the JSF squad to stand down and let the Secret Service goes through, they then immediately tells John exactly what he didn't want to hear, the Vice President calls the hotline but the Secret Service leaders could not believe it and therefore it took too long to reach him and he takes part in delaying such an important matters.
Letting go a sigh, he then proceed to unravel the situation. "Alright everyone, Code Green, I repeat Code Green. We have to get the Chief of Staff to the President."
The "Yes, sir!" immediately rang from the JSF troops and the secret service agents after the Special Agent in Charge bark the orders too. They then proceed immediately too open the door and meet the confused face of the world leaders, and the weapons trained by their guards to other guards from different country. John want to tell the JSF troops to not follow but unfortunately muscle memory and reflex kicked in and the JSF troops immediately point their rifle too but after 5 minutes of repeated "stand down" order in different language from different people, all of the guards has lower their weapons but look of distrust still exchanged.
John scanned the room, he could feel the tension from all the people in this room. Well, the World War III nearly started in this room but fortunately the itchy finger troops are not here. After more silence moments, John sees the Chief of Staff finally moved to President Becerra of the United States of America and whispers to him about something, but clearly to John it's about the NASA phone call. The look of the President's face after hearing the news is clearly epic in John's eyes, he could see a mix of shock, confusion and "YOU MUST BE JOKING" painted all over the place, but it's almost comical. Maybe because he clearly could saw the President almost laugh and pull a "Nice one, you almost get me".
Nevertheless, the expression is gone and President Becerra face is back to a serious one, the most serious one John ever saw, more than last year's State of the Union about how he going to make the Europe pays for what they did. And calmly he said to the world leaders, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been informed that there are a more important matter in hand and I feel that it must be presented to the world leaders immediately."
John then sees the Chief of Staff tinkering his tablet with the help of a British palace staff and it then plays a video on a screen John could have swear it wasn't there previously. But nevertheless the video was stopped by the Chief of Staff after a few seconds playing and he whispers something again to the President and the President nodded his head.
"Fellow world leaders, my Chief of Staff told me that this matters are highly classified and request that our guards to wait outside and let our staff in." The President announces.
Nodded agreements then ensues from the room including surprisingly from the European prime minister, Nathalie Pérreau, and the Russian President that John noted would be the first time they agree on anything this year.
"But I would like my highest officer nearby, as my generals aren't here I think they would fill the military standpoint needed." President Petrenko requested.
"I agree mister president, a military officer would fill the gap." Echoes the European Prime Minister.
After words of agreement spoken by everyone then everyone except the highest ranking officer present from each countries and the leadre's staff leave the room. As the highest military officer here, John then stays where he are and proceeds to give his rifle and sidearms to his second-in-command, Robert Wright and give him command for the JSF platoons.
Then the door are closed and the Chief of Staff plays of the record. What follows is the most shocking the video in humanity's history, John couldn't believe his eyes when he sees it. The Charon explodes and out a big alien artifact that pulls out the probe and strike a thunder that apparently destroys the probe as after that the screens goes to black. He is so sure he could be never more shocked when the rocket to a new generations of LOKI platform is downed by an European Federation laser, boy how he is so wrong right now. Other people in the room is also visibly very shocked, the world leaders are so shocked that their eyeballs could leave their eyes when they viewed the video and some of their staff have their jaws dropped to the ground. The room filled with silence except for the occasional gasps and "Oh my God". The revelation is clearly overwhelming, John thought, and tries to regain his composure after seeing the video. For a moment he think that this must be some Hollywood CGI or something, apparently his brains to rationalize it but couldn't, it is undeniable that it's real and NASA Director clearly won't mess around.
After everyone regains their composure, the world leaders started to try to figure out how to unravel the mystery of the object. But John is sure that one mystery has been solved today, humanity is not alone in the universe.
