Carolina POV

Mother of Invention

My fists were clenched as I made my way to a meeting with the other freelancers and the director. I felt angry and embarassed, angry because Six and C.T had gotten away, embarassed because they got away after Six beat me and left me unconscious.

When I thought of Six I couldn't help but feel hurt, he had betrayed us without any warning. And I thought...

I shook off those thoughts when I saw the door to the meeting room.

"How the hell did the insurrection get onto the Mother of Invention?" This was the first thing I heard as I walking into the briefing room after finally waking up from my confrontation with Six.

I saw York toss down a projector, "A couple dozen projectors were spread across the floor, I would bet on Wyoming's life that Omicron was making and keeping up holograms to keep us distracted."

Wyoming had an indignant expression on his face, but before he could say anything I spoke up, "Sir, Six and C.T got away, they took what seemed like a Prowler. I engaged Six to try and stop him but he beat me and left me unconscious."

The Director brought a hand up to his chin, "That explains why we didn't detect the ship when it left, the Prowlers cloaking systems would make sure that we wouldn't know its location when its off the ship, and make sure we can't fire at it. How could Omicron have set up such elaborate holograms and so many on his own?"

York and North, subtly, glanced at each other. I narrowed my eyes in my helmet in their direction, feeling something was off, "I don't know sir, maybe he is just able to do more than what you expected."

The Director nodded, "That is quite possible..."

"Sir, are we to go and hunt them down? We can't just let them get away, not with treason, and a Prowler." When I spoke he looked at me coldly.

"We will do nothing, we can't track down a Prowler, not to mention that Six and C.T both are skilled agents. Without any insurrection bases, they could go anywhere, and we wouldn't know where to start. Until we get a solid lead on them we will not waste resources to go after them."

"Sir, what about their equipment?"

"They aren't going to give it up, they will make sure to hold onto it I am sure." I nodded, making sure to keep my emotions in check and not make a fool of myself.

He looked over us all coldly for a second before he turned and walked out, "Dismissed."

York POV

When we were dismissed, North, Maine and I all met up in my room, all our A.I popping up, "You guys did good out there with the holograms."

"Thanks, we all worked really hard on making it convincing." Theta was the one to reply whike Sigma just gave a small smirk and Delta gave a simple nod of the head.

"So, now what?" North wondered, looking at his comrades.

"Now? Now we wait for the rest of Six's and C.Ts plan to unfold. Make sure to watch out for Carolina and the Director, I think they are getting suspicious of us." My fellow agents nodded and we all left the room, Maine heading to the mess hall, North to his quarters, and me going for target practice.

My aim needed some work with this damned left eye of mine...

The chapters WILL get longer, I promise. In the meantime, I am sorry for how late this short chapter is, but I got a few other big stories to focus on, another I want to publish, and I have to think of school and such - I hope you all enjoyed the lil explanation chapter.
