Chapter 3

Priss was racing with her bike over the streets. Sylia was right, she was thinking, Youshihara was hundreds of miles away. Whatever they were doing here wouldn´t had the slightest influence. It wasn't even their busyness. It was as always. Someone wanted to hurt people and send boomers and nobody was able to do something about it. This would never change.

Flashback: 29. October 2033, two months earlier

GCRC Space-Port, Mega-Tokyo (under shared control of the USSD and genom)

In the last time, not much has happened on the Shuttle Space-Port. After the things that had occurred in the last months, the USSD was in a huge crisis and faced a possible disbanding. The defense satellites of the USSD that were responsible for the disastrous orbital strikes a few months earlier. The producing and control center of genom wasn´t in a good position either, they had lost important equipment and had been infiltrated by outside forces. But since the USSD was responsible for a much greater disaster, the slides of the genom sub-group would probably be overseen. As a side-effect the space traffic had decreased. Aside from regularly shuttle flights to genaros and back, the port was barely used. Two soldiers who were standing guard in front of a storage hall. They were both pretty bored, as they saw two female officers came their way. The dark haired woman in the front, a lieutenant, was smiling at them.

"Hello", she addressed them, "can you two tell me what you are guarding here?"

The two answered the nice looking woman quite happily.

"Some sort of experimental Battlemover so far I know, ah Sir. Someone in genom wanted it stored here for some time. But he never came to get it. Since then we are standing here. We were ordered to keep this thing here but nobody seems to know what to do with it."

"Good, very good, we are happy to hear this. Relax a little. We are glad to see two soldiers who are really committed to their duty."

"Äh, thank you sir. It is nice to be appreciated." Both of the men smiled. A praise from an officer, who was a good looking woman on top of that.

"We have a surprise for you."

"What." In the matter of a second sharp, metallic claws slide out of her fingers and she stabbed him in the chest. His partner was killed by the other woman at the same time.

A short time later the women, both 33C Assassin-Boomers, were entering a shuttle together with a giant box on a forklift truck. After they loaded it in the storage room of the shuttle, they lifted off.

"Boss, here is the delivery team. We have the package." They used the radio device of the shuttle.

"Good." Came the answer. "Bring it to me."

31. October 2033, two days later

"Has the package arrived?"

"Yes Mister Newman. It is being brought here now."

"Good Yamada. How long will it take till it is ready?" Yamada was a thin, middle sized and middle aged man who was dressed in a busyness suit an wearing glasses. His Boss was a bit taller than him, he looked somewhere between 25 and 30 years old and was wearing a black mantle and dark clothes.

The technicians answered the boss. "Sir, we have to acquaint to this technology if we don´t want to make a critical mistake. We have to see if anything was damaged. When we have to connect it to our computer-system and synchronise it. When we can upload the AI and we have to sort the software out. At least a few months I would say.

"Good, I can wait that long." He was smiling.

"We can connect one of our computer to it and take a look at the software to check if it is undamaged."

"Do that."

The computer was linked to the device the two 33C had brought them. As it was loading the data, lines of numbers appeared on the monitor. Followed by seemingly order less lines of words.

"Help, kill, save her, take control, hunt down, death, hide, protect, destroy, flee, fight enemies, love, stop it, destroy everything, save, kill, freedom."

"It is conflicting data from two sources, currently synchronising with each other", said the tech.

"Of course it is. Exactly what we wanted.

02. January 2034, Mega-Tokyo

Priss was riding through the streets of Mega-Tokyo like always. She just needed this from time to time. Here she could forget everything, for a short time. She was still on her way as she got the call from Sylia.

The boomer was flying through the town. His first target was a small factory, not a genom facility, his orders were not to attack genom property. He destroyed part of the building, shot one of the workers, who was standing in a corner in the head and wounded the others. He was ordered to hold back with civilian targets. Afterwards he run on the Highway. The boomer shot a car and caused it to crash. His sensors confirmed that the driver was dead. The other car drivers, who had seen him, tried to avoid him and caused a traffic chaos. This didn´t matter to him. He was already looking for other targets.

After he shot 4 parking cars in a side-street, the AD Police was approaching. His orders were to especially target the police. He easily killed 6 members of a SWATT team and 2 officers in K11 Combat-Suits who were trying to stop him. They were however able to cause light damage to his shoulder. But as he wanted to proceed he was shot in the side again. 4 figures in hard-suits appeared. The Knight Sabers, he identified them. He charged at them, trying a counterattack but they were easily faster and stronger as the K11. They dodged his physical attacks without any problems and managed to avoid nearly all of his fire. Since he wasn´t in perfect shape from the start, it was a losing battle. With a third hit on his shoulder, he lost his right arm. More shots by the other caused damage on his head and stomach.

As the Knight Sabers heard of the new boomer rampage, they assembled an were quick ready to stop the boomer. Sylia realised that the cops were already able to damage the boomer and managed to shot his arm of. Priss and Linna hit him several times too.

"You have picked the wrong time for this", Priss called out.

Linna took another shot, that ripped his head of and Sylia finished him of with a knuckle bomber on his torso.

"Again something like this", Nene cried out. "Only one day after Youshihara."

Sylia stood beside her. "At least this time we could do something."

Genom Tower , a few hours later

Quincy was furious. He was standing in his office screaming at several officers of his company. Nobody had ever seen the leader of genom so angry and lost of control before.

"Who is responsible for this? This is the last thing, really the last thing, we need right now. It was the same model like in Youshihara right? "

"Yes Sir", the current vice president of research and development answered him.

"The same model." Quincy let his head hang down. "Damn."

A house in Mega Tokyo, at the same time

Vice president Megumi Taiko was sitting on her desk in her house. She spoke to someone on her phone.

"Our next strike has just happened sir. The boomer was destroyed by the Knight Sabers but I think he did enough to reach what we wanted."
