Chapitre 151: Another planet down
1st December 2023
"In an unprecedented step, the Pakistani military has detained a number of Rangers members in Punjab on suspicion of rape and corruption. This is the first time the military has retaliated against one of its own for such serious accusations. The arrests followed an internal investigation in collaboration with local law enforcement agencies, demonstrating the military's commitment to justice and accountability. The decisive action has been praised by civil society organizations, emphasizing the need for comprehensive reforms to ensure increased oversight and accountability within the armed forces. The ongoing investigation aims to deliver justice and restore public trust in the military's commitment to upholding the rule of law....."
"The Colombian government has taken unparalleled measures against its own military after substantial allegations of corruption and drug trafficking surfaced. The incident started in Cali when the police tried to detain a senior military official who was allegedly engaged in illegal activity. The clash between the military and the police escalated tensions, raising concerns about the extent of corruption within the armed forces. The government's resolute response showcases a determination to combat fraud at all levels and sends a strong message that no one is above the law. To rebuild public confidence in Colombia's security forces and counter the impact of criminal networks, significant changes and a cooperative approach across law enforcement authorities are urgently required.
"In a shocking turn of events, the Japanese police have arrested several influential individuals from the country's administration who were allegedly involved in sex trafficking and illegal manipulation of national resources. The arrests shed light on a network that exploited vulnerable individuals and engaged in corrupt practices, profiting at the expense of the common people. The accused, described as wealthy and well-connected, have been accused of charging exorbitant amounts from citizens for services while exploiting their positions of power to amass personal wealth. The arrests signify a strong stance against corruption and the abuse of power, reaffirming Japan's commitment to justice and protecting the rights of its citizens. The authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation to bring those responsible to justice and ensure that such criminal activities are rooted out from the nation's administration..."
Over the past month, such pieces have started to appear in numerous nations throughout the globe. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others were exploding. Multiple accounts from throughout the world released videos and pictures of people taking down some extremely powerful persons. These men and women had resisted, of course, but the authorities looked determined to bring them to justice.
Before every arrest, the authorities posted the proof, which made the public turn against them. These made no difference to the offenders, and only their devoted followers were able to hold off the mob and the police who arrived to arrest them. Although it appeared to be a wonderful idea, the fact that these powerful individuals who were detained also held positions of authority meant that if one of them were to leave, chaos might ensue.
It was here that all the AIs came and interfered and took matters into their own hands. North Korea might not be able to send men everywhere to take down these bad men and women, but it didn't mean that the AIs couldn't. Since the governments had shown sincerity, they needed to be appreciated.
Of course, not all governments were friendly, and some simply adopted a wait-and-see approach. And it was because all the nations learned about a brand-new object that had recently emerged above Jupiter that these governments instantly took additional steps to root out criminals.
A whole ass city had just appeared out of thin air above a planet and this had led the world leaders go into a frenzy. Few days ago, they had learnt about the betrayal of David and Miss. X. Due to Miss. X's employment over the years, numerous secret organizations including the CIA, Mossad, ISI, and others came under fire. The authorities, however, were also concerned that North Korea might not be prepared to repel the alien invasion in light of this news.
But once the city appeared in Jupiter, they felt their world views change again.

On the Battlecruiser that had taken out from Mars, Robin had appeared above the planet Jupiter. Since the creation of Command Centers on Mars, time had passed, and while there weren't enough people to completely staff a Battlecruiser, there were enough to transport the Battlecruiser into space and perform tasks that the spaceship required in order to operate effectively.
The Terran faction's command centers in Starcraft 2 had an issue because they required Vespene gas, a type of hydrocarbon that served as a fuel. Currently, Mars lacked such a thing. In order to create the Vespene gas, scientists from Novus and Terra have found a means to use the hydrogen gas in Jupiter and the amount of carbon on Mars.
The Novus had already constructed a teleporting arrangement that connected Earth and Mars, and had so begun communicating. Another amazing creation that Robin and others had seen in action was the teleporting configuration.
And what was truly astounding about this formation was that none of the planets' environments had an impact on the others. The Novus made a truly significant discovery with wormhole technology. No wonder the Hierarchy had to suffer under their hands for a long time.
Robin exited the Battlecruiser wearing the Blue Beetle costume as the back hangar of the ship opened.
"Sigret, you will have to take over the city that I am going to bring out as I am not sure how the whole city works."
"A city of size ought to have its own AI. I will have to purge it since the city is not in your control in the game." Sigret brought up. Like before, Robin was unfamiliar with the game but was familiar with the movies that served as the basis for the game. He started the game and stopped at a specific scene.
The game was Star Wars : Battlefront.
And the city he was going to take out the Cloud City. Since the game was a typical first-person shooter and not an RTS like some of the others when he had brought out a large edifice, there wouldn't be any in-game characters to go with the enormous city he was going to bring out.
To seize control of the city's mechanical systems, he had summoned Sigret, JARVIS, and the other EVE from the Arks. Robin reached into the game, caught the enormous city in the palm of his hand, and brought it out. The modest construction quickly grew into a large one when he positioned the metropolis directly above the planet Jupiter.
Enough to fit multiple battlecruisers easily.
Cloud City was a striking blend of futuristic design and industrial functionality. The city's structures are built upon floating platforms and repulsorlift technology, allowing it to hover.
"JARVIS and I have assumed control of the city's primary mechanisms. The AIs here are pretty defenseless, as it was made out of fear that they will take over the humans." Sigret suggested. Robin merely gave a shoulder shrug.
Cloud City's exterior features a mixture of rounded contours, sharp edges, and smooth surfaces. The city's distinctive appearance is created by the buildings' use of a mix of metallic accents, glass panels, and translucent materials. Both form and utility were emphasized in Cloud City's architecture. Although the buildings had a beautiful, sophisticated design, they also provided housing, commercial space, and other facilities. Balconies, walkways, and bridges connect the different sections of the city, allowing residents and visitors to navigate the floating platforms and enjoy panoramic views.
Large windows on the exteriors of Cloud City's buildings allowed natural light to permeate the interiors and offered spectacular views of the ethereal surroundings. Additionally, these windows provided views of the city.
Along with a very tiny crew of the Captain and six other people, who were solely tasked with navigating the spacecraft, many scientists from both the Novus and Engineering Bay had traveled in the Battlecruiser.
"There is docking bay on the port side. We are prepared to begin docking operations. All systems are green, and we have established a clear approach path. Miss Sigret has opened one hangar for us." -Crew
"Excellent. start the docking process. Begin thruster adjustments and align the ship with the designated docking port." -Captain
"Docking sequence initiated. Thruster adjustments in progress. Ship alignment is on track."
"Any obstacles or potential hazards in the docking area?"
"Negative, Captain. Docking area is clear of obstacles and hazards."
"Final approach. Standby for docking."
"Standing by for docking, Captain."
"It's good to have spent the past few days somewhere else than the red, barren planet. This place looks excellent." Robin and Sigret too used the thrusters to land just near the docking bay, as the blast doors opened by themselves to allow them in.
"You have control over all precoders?" As he passed through the tiny blast door, Robin enquired.
"No. Only a select few functions. I have control only on this side of the docking bay."
