3. Chapter 3

Secret society

Diana paces back and forth in her lab. She is actually not angry with Steven, but with herself. She had patted herself on the back on preparing her breathing test tube, but now is not sure that it will work. Nor can she find that special human female. Her self-doubts in this project are building. Making worse The Great Leader has sent an encrypted message hinting at his displeasure in finding she made no real headway for obtaining his internal power source. However, she has someone to take her anger out on.

"And I am telling you that those names are important for me!" Diana spits the words out in frustration. She turns on Steven her eyes flashing as a fist slams down on the counter. This is her lab and no one should be questioning her on her orders. In fact, she is second-in command of this fleet.

Steven's voice remains as professional as usual, his demeanor appearing calm. "Diana all I am saying is that this could cause issues. I would say even as dedicated as Youth Corps are that they are going to be hesitant, or fearful not understanding what is happening. I am questioning this, and I have no idea what you are doing in here, and nor do I want to."

"You have no reason to know. Just do as requested." Then Diana turns her back on Steven.

Steven shakes his head, "Fine Diana, but when you do whatever you are doing. Please make up something, because if you like it or not the Youth Corp will share with each other."

Diana turns back, and looks at Steven, there is fury in her eyes. "Get me those names. They will do as ordered."

Steven's voice speaks in a monotone voice, but there is a caution in his words. "Diana the Regime has trained them as children to be what they are. However, I will tell you this. There is something that I, and other officers can't quite figure out about them. It is like they are a secret society of their own. Trust me Diana. I will do as asked, but please again I don't want to know what it is." With that he turns and leaves.

Diana glares at Steven as he leaves. She feels like everyone around her are morons. All she wants is the known names of Youth Corp members having some sort of relationship with humans. The Youth Corp are the most devoted individuals in the Regime. Secret society!
