Chapter 10: Answers
Two hours later
"Okay team, what's our progress?"
"We've got about 20 left to sift through, we're tired, we're hungry, and WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?"
The team was still researching. Their fingers were numb, their eyes were tired, and they desperately wanted to stop. But Numbuh 1 didn't let them. "We're looking until we find something!" And he was always true to his word.
About 5 minutes later, Numbuh 4 found something. "Hey, guys!" he said. "I'm not sure if this is the right mission, but look at it!" So they did. The mission information wasn't opened, but the name-
Sector V took one look at it, and started laughing. "Man, who was the weirdo who named this one?" Numbuh 2 said. "Whoever they are, they really deserve an award!"
"Y-yeah," Numbuh 5 said, trying to hold in a laugh, "But w-we really need to f-f-find the file and w-whatnot…" She clicked the 'Access info' button by the file name, and this came up. Her jaw dropped. (Note: '0' means censored)
"Operation '0000': Father's Unlawful 000000000 000000000.
Date: April 17, 1998
Intelligence picked up a rumor that Father- a sworn enemy of children- was creating a machine called a 'Delightfulization Chamber'; capable of hypnotizing a child into doing whatever adults told them. Father was planning a showing of his machine to an adult audience, in order to show its 'usefulness'.
But that isn't the worst part. Rumors were that Father was using five children-his own, in fact-as test subjects for the chamber. The assignment? Save the children, destroy the machine, and defeat Father.
However, this wasn't the case. The troops failed to save the children, and though the machine was destroyed, we are 100 percent sure that it was rebuilt. The kids were never identified, and their locations, ages, and whether they escaped or not are unknown.
Until yesterday, Numbuh 1 thought.
Even after the failure, there was still one operative who kept going back-even until her infamous 'not-decommissioning'. Her name was Numbuh 11. She currently works for Father himself.

"Well, that's nice, but shouldn't we be looking for the file?" Numbuh 3 said.
"Numbuh 3, this is the file!" Numbuh1 said. "Oh sure, so theother info is gone, but this is all we need."
"That Amber kid must have been telling the truth," Numbuh 4 said.
"You can hardly call her 'kid'," Numbuh 2 said. "She's about a year older than us."
"Well, we now know that she's innocent. We'll tell her tomorrow. But now- last one to the food court buys the food!"
All of Sector V left-except Numbuh 5. She was a bit mad. The other operatives were treating this like nothing, like Amber was still an evil goody-goody. She needed more information, like how to shut down the machine. Then she thought back to something she had read-
"Even after the failure, there was still one operative who kept going back-even until her infamous 'not-decommissioning'. Her name was Numbuh 11. She currently works for Father himself."
Numbuh 5 smiled. Time for a little information forcing, she thought.
Numbuh 3 stuck her head through the door. "Come on, Numbuh 5!" she said.
"Okay, okay, keep your shirt on." She ran out of the record room with a smile on her face.
