"Alright Grey, let's do this." Wrench said through Grey's earpiece.

"Wait, considering that Albion and Clan Crystal profited off of the bombings, we need to infiltrate Albion HQ or at least recruit an Albion guard to do it." Grey suggested.

"How are we going to recruit an Albion Guard?" Sitara said. "They're not going to tolerate working for Dedsec!"

Grey gave a suggestion. "Maybe we can find one that was dismissed."

Sitara rebuffed him. "You wish."

As Grey headed to Albion HQ, he noticed a guard patrolling the area. He went up to go talk to him. The man had blue hair, tan skin, while having Asian features.

"You might look like you need some help." Grey said.

"Of course." The guard said. "Hey, aren't you Dedsec?"

"You might as well break the seal." Wrench sighed through Grey's communicator.

"Yes, I am Dedsec."

"That's good to hear."

Grey was confused. "What? But I thought you were supposed to capture anyone affiliated to Dedsec."

"Unlike everyone else who works at Albion, I refuse to believe that Dedsec set up those bombs. You guys exposed the crimes of Solas, then why would you commit a crime yourself?"

"Garnering followers on our social media?" Grey answered.

"Whatever. Anyway, I'm happy to join you."

"Great-"

"On one condition. I want you to help me deliver this love letter." The guard said, giving Grey a letter.

Grey looked at the letter. "That it? Or..."

"That's it."

Grey looked at the letter again for the address. One the letter was a picture of a girl one year younger than the guard with long brown hair, a pink dress, and long brown ears.

"You should check her out, she's a pretty good artist."

"But what is her name?" Grey asked.

"Lucy. But she goes by her online alias of CandyEvie."

As the Albion guard left, Grey checked CandyEvie. She was a major fan of a franchise about cute little monsters battling each other.

"Pa-ke-min?" He read.

"It's called Pokeman. Or... I don't know how to pronounce it."


Lucy didn't live very far. As Grey knocked on her apartment door, the girl in the picture peeked out.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Someone wants me to give this to you." Grey said, handing Lucy the letter.

The girl was giddy with excitement.

"EEEEEEE!" Lucy squealed.

Grey stood there as he watched the girl held the letter as if it was her own child. Lucy allowed herself to catch a breath before returning to Grey.

"Sorry, I'm normally shy a lot, but this is amazing!"

Grey stood there, in an emotionless blank stare.

"Can you take me to him? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please?"

"Ok."


Police sirens wailed as another suspected Dedsec member was arrested by Albion. Grey blended in the crowd watching the scene with Lucy following him behind.

"What's up with you?" Lucy asked.

"I want to keep my identity a secret." Grey said. "So I'm not engaging with the police."

Grey took out his phone and crashed a drone that was about to scan him and Lucy.

"Oh my god..." Lucy gasped.

"Let's move." Grey said as the two continued forward.


Back at Albion HQ, the guard Grey met with earlier was in the same spot he was at.

"Hey buddy!" Grey called out.

"Scott!" Lucy said.

"Scott? That's his name?"

Scott turned to find Lucy and Grey returning. As they both had their reunion, Grey looked around to see if any Albion guards would come to investigate.

"Um, you're gonna help me now?" Grey asked after five minutes.

"Oh yeah! What do you need me to do?"

"Dedsec wants an Albion guard to sneak into its headquarters to find evidence that Lunis and Crystal profited from Zero Day."

"Wait, they were behind the bombings?" Lucy asked.

"How could my boss do this?" Scott said. "My boss may be strict, but she was never this evil."

"Us at Dedsec only know Lunis and Crystal played a role in the bombings."

"So you're Dedsec?" Lucy asked. "That must be why you're acting so weird when you're near cops and drones."

"How do you guys know this?" Scott said, after Lucy.

Grey answered, "I was informed by a friend about it. He showed me a large sum of money was delivered to Clan Crystal's leader and Albion's CEO."

"Okay, I believe you." Lucy said.

"I trust you too." Scott said.

"Good, take this and my friends will inform you on what to do next."

Grey gave Scott one of Dedsec's communicators. As Scott held the device in his hands, he shooed the former away.

Scott looked at his girlfriend. "If anything happens to me, just know that I'm always with you."

Lucy gave a silent nod and a thumbs up. With his heart racing in fear, Scott turned to Albion and slowly made his way inside.


"I can't believe I'm working for Dedsec." Scott said as he made his way inside.

"I can't believe Grey would be crazy to recruit an Albion guard." Sitara said. "Anyway, if your cover is blown, they will lock the security systems and Lunis will be forced to cancel her upcoming meeting."

Scott avoided prying eyes of the Albion guards as he made his way to Lunis's office.

"Heads up, we've got a problem." Sitara said.

"What?"

"The door that leads to Lunis's office requires an electronic pass to enter."

Scott arrived at the door Sitara was talking about. Sure enough, there was a security lock only allowing Lunis to enter.

"Shoot. Not even Albion Guards can enter through here."

"We can forge one. Just find a computer that has the pass."

Scott went to the nearest computer. As he downloaded the pass, he heard footsteps. He quickly blended in with the crowd as Lunis with several other people walked by. He returned to the computer with it successfully downloading the pass.

"Pass forged."

"Great, let's crash this meeting." Wrench said.

Scott made his way into Lunis's office. Seeing Lunis talking to several of her students from the school where she once worked for, he knew it was business.

"I see her. She's in a meeting with her students."

"Press the button on your communicator so we can hear the whole thing." T-Bone said.

With the tiny black button on Scott's earpiece, Scott allowed Dedsec to hear the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present you, Project Themis!"

The observers took notes as Lunis showed them her latest creation.

"Project Themis is an automated drone army that will strike at any criminal before they will launch a criminal act. They can go anywhere, all throughout the city. Soon, Dedsec will be on their knees." Lunis stated. "With Themis, this city will be truly safe."

"Is it like from the movie Minority Report?" A student asked.

Lunis looked at the student. "Don't know what you're talking about."

"Because I've seen the movie and your idea is very similar to the premise. You're introducing technology that can predict crime and will stop criminals before they act. Although in that movie, the police arrest criminals and not execute them."

Another student stood up.

"I think this idea is a little half-baked. You're basically making yourself look like the enemy to the people. We already don't have a good relation to the citizens."

Lunis called her guards to take the student away.

"Wait! Please I-"

The student was dragged away before he got to finish his sentence. Lunis turned back to her remaining observers.

"Any more questions?"

No one said a word.

"Good, let's try Themis out and see who is Dedsec."

Lunis brought out a small laptop. As she activated Themis, the large screen behind her showed the cameras on one of the drones. As Scott viewed what was filmed, he saw Lucy and Grey being marked as potential Dedsec members.

"Albion, we have suspected Dedsec at our gates."

"Copy that."

Scott snuck away.


As Scott made his escape, he contacted Grey about what he saw. He stayed out of sight until he made it outside the building.

"Guys, I'm out." He said.

"Good work." Sitara said. "We couldn't contact Grey. We don't know about his condition."

Scott went to Grey and Lucy's last known location. Albion guards were nowhere to be found, but Scott didn't let his guard down.

"HA!"

Scott was hit in the head with a large branch. It dazed him for a moment. As he looked up, he noticed a startled Grey looking down on him.

"Scott, you had me jumped for a second!"

As Grey helped the Albion guard up, the latter looked around nervously.

"Where's Lucy?"

"She was taken. We both hid in the bushes when you warned us, but Lucy's big ears gave her away."

"Oh no." Scott gasped.

"I don't know where they're taking her next."

"We have to find her."

"Agreed."

Sitara interrupted their conversation.

"Guys, head back to Dedsec HQ, we have another mission briefing."

"On it." Grey said.


Lucy wrestled for her life as Albion Guards brought her up to Lunis.

"So you're with Dedsec." Lunis said. "I was expecting two people, not one."

"I have no such connections with Dedsec!" Lucy said. "Your company is gonna fall, and you can't do anything about it!"

"We don't know where the other went, Lunis." One of the guards said.

"I'll never tell you!" Lucy said. "You'll get nothing from me!"

"Bring her to Crystal. She would enjoy a new slave."

"C-C-Crystal?" Lucy said. "Who is she?"

Lunis chuckled. "You're gonna love her."

Lucy was left kicking and screaming as she was dragged away into darkness.

CONNECTION LOST.
