The Resurrection of Bass-Chapter 5
At about the same time that X was recovering and Axl was being questioned, another event was occurring. Bass was about to initiate phase one of his plan. He had approached the end of a mountainside overlooking a huge fortress.
"So, this is Sigma's tower," he said, "bit smaller than I expected." Bass took a deep sigh and jumped down the mountain. He landed at the base of it and ran towards the tower. He ran past what appeared to be a red flash of light. In a security room of the tower a maverick was watching the security system. Soon a small beeping noise went off. He looked at the pictures of the supposed intruder. The perpetrator's pictures were blurry because of the high speed he was traveling. The operator assumed it to be nothing, cursed the system, and went back to playing gameboy.
Before approaching the door of the tower Bass hid behind a rock and observed his surroundings. He noticed two guards in front of the door and four cameras above them. Bass decided to take out the cameras first. He switched his buster to sniper mode and sniped the four cameras. The guard in the security room paused his game and turned around to notice the cameras were out.
"Guards 1 and 2, report," he said as he spoke through the outside intercom. No answer. He waited and repeated himself. Soon the cameras clicked back on. The first image that could be seen was one of the guards fixing the camera.
"No problems security," the guard said. "We just had a small technical glitch,"
"Alright, just don't let it happen again," the maverick in the security room said, unpaused his game, and complained that he did not get paid enough for his job. But the security guards turned around and faced the other way. Bass walked past them and they didn't even flinch.
"Holograms," Bass said, "they always come through in a pinch." He walked inside and entered a corridor. He heard guards walking down the hall talking to one another. Bass remained calm, and pressed a button on his arm, making him seem like one of the guards.
"Oh, hey," the first guard, "Where are you stationed at?" Bass used his scanners to do a full analysis on the guard. He finds that the guard is stationed at sector B12, so he says that he is stationed at B12.
"Oh, excellent," said the guard, "you're our replacement."
"Very well, you two go on your break, I'll take over for you." Bass said. The guards left the corridor. Bass did a quick scan of the tower and deduced that the fastest was to get to Sigma's control room was to use the service elevator on the basement floor. So he got in an elevator and proceeded to the service elevator. There was a big burly guard in front of it.
"What are you doing here, your not authorized to be here," the guard said.
"Move please, I need to use this elevator," Bass said.
"No."
"Hmm..ok, how about you look the other way real quick," Bass said while slipping a huge wad of money into the guards hand.
"Would you look at that," the guard said, while looking at his watch, "3:30, my break time." The guard left his post, taking Bass' bribe.
"Idiot," Bass said to himself as he got in the elevator. He resumed his normal form and pressed the button that would take him to Sigma's level. "Phase one, complete, phase two, now commencing."
