Chapter 3- Plans and Phases
Thank you for reviewing, mach5plus1, TronTigerElectus, for reviewing. I'd also like to thank the guest who did so and address their comment:
I put in that last chapter to convey some of the bitter thoughts that had been running in and out of Zed, Mara, and Paige's minds. Paige in the fact that Tron took her boyfriend away, Zed and Mara the same (in a friendship matter) but also their worry about Paige as she seems to become consumed by her dedication. I feel that is important to know.
Anyways, onto the story!
Tron stood at his hologram screen. His eyebrows furrowed as he viewed the code in front of him.
As of three cycles ago, five programs put together the heist and stole something from the Occupation…but what was it?
So, he used the inactive feeds to make his way into the Occupation. Easy enough.
Something caught his eye. He quickly pulled it up and dissected it until her found out what it was.
An information cube….
Quickly, he pulled it up and began sifting through what was supposedly the contents. His eyes widened at the sight.
Either they're just nailing random things to aggravate the Occupation or….
Tron glanced back to the other room. Beck's still sleeping….
He looked back to the information. According to it, he had roughly 3 Mylacycles before it arrived.
Closing the tab, he straightened and headed towards the simulator.
I better prepare.
Who knows what I may face?
"Is that it?"
Paige looked up at Damian as he pulled up the code for the ship. She nodded and turned back to her work, "Yep."
Jude crossed his arms, "I don't get it. Why are we doing all this planning for some ship?"
"It's not just any ship." Zed said, his voice distorted by the mask, "That ship holds the final piece of phase one."
"…Phase one?"
Zed grew excited, "We've been working on a certain concotion for sometime now. On that ship is the rest of the f_"
Zed squawked in pain as Mara elbowed him, "Enough."
But the trio's attention is caught and they whisper to each other with wide eyes.
"What do you plan on doing after that?" Shawna asked.
Paige sighed, and looked up, "There's this….program we need to find. If we can track him down, we can hand off the concoction."
"Then what?"
"…Not important." To be honest, Paige hadn't really thought what they as a group would do after they finished their mission, one they started seemingly ages ago…
"…Rend?"
She looked up to Mara, who was watching her carefully. Shaking her head, she continued.
"But before we can do that…we need to prepare for the time ahead, especially for phase two."
"Well where would we need to get all that?"
Paige nodded to Zed. He took charge of the hologram, twisting it around until it showed a map.
"Word has it that a new shipment is coming in that is supposed to track down us rebels." Zed rolled his eyes before continuing, "If we get it in the next two cycles, we can make sure that not only won't happen, but we'll be able to find our program."
Hopefully the three thought in unison as the lights came back on and they set to work.
Sorry this is really short. I promise they will get longer!
