"Hi Mel , ready to go home..?"
"Yeah let's go before that , what's the excuse..?"
"Well..we had an exam."
"On the first day."
"You don't say.."
"At least tell a lie that's believable"
"I'm telling the truth. Look at this.." I said showing her the image of the rankings from before.
"So.. you really had an exam...?"
"Yeah..I'm sorry. You waited for me..?"
"Yeah , I thought you would come even if it's late a bit and sat there the whole lunch break.
Some senior girls even looked at me with pity.."
"I'm so sorry..."
"Nevermind...I'll just have you come with me for shopping this Saturday."
"How's that related to this.."
---------------------------------
[Later in the lab]
"Jarvis you there." I said entering the lab.
"For you sir , always." Lighting up the whole room , his voice came.
"So... how's the development of MK-beta coming along."
"We were successfully able to implement the twin drive arc reactors in the suit sir...
But the nanobot integration from project bleeding edge have not been successful."
"Mmm..what's the problem.."
"Sir..the nanobots that would make up the armor will not redirect properly on heavy strikes that the current ones would bear . So if you were to use it , that would only mean a downgrade."
"Redirecting the nanobots for auto repair is one of the main functions that will make that suit unique. So we can't ignore it. How about we increase the processing of nanobots."
I asked Jarvis after thinking a bit.
"Sir , the current performance ratio is calculated because excessive working of all the nanobots would increase the temperature."
Jarvis replied projecting a virtual image of the armor.
"Then we just have to add another layer for redistributing the heat and also provide another layer of shock resistance"
"Sir , are you thinking of using the project undersheath ."
"Yes. But we will have to store it in an external source instead of storing in the bone cavities as we planned before." Bringing out the holgram for undersheath I begun modifying it.
"One minute sir...
Running live model ...
Model successful"
"Told you."
"Still we cannot say for sure after we run a real test , sir."
"I know , it'll work. Continue the production after applying all the new changes.
What's the estimate time..?"
"Estimated time period 14 to 16 days."
"Damn...so I'm not gonna be getting it during the USJ incident...
Yeah..how about Veronica.."
"Sir project Veronica is still I. assembly period. We will be able to finish in 4 days time."
"Four days...that might be ok . Anyway give more importace for it's completion."
"Certainly sir. Recently there was an attempt for breach in our server. Although I had it managed , we couldn't trace the source."
"Someone tried to hack into my server...! Hmm keep the firewall up all time and keep me posted if something like this happens again."
"Sir , you're being called upstairs for dinner."
"It's time already. Guess I should go...
Oh Jarvis , did you get any new information on task 1 yet."
"No sir. I have not found any more evidence than the black box recording. It seems like someone doesn't want that information to be out. All the relevant info on it are being removed gradually."
"Someone is actually doing that.!"
" Sir , do not get me wrong but it's been years already , maybe you should.."
"Yeah it's been years , But my mind just doesn't accept that. I feel he's still alive.
Even if there's a small chance that he is alive , I won't be able to forgive myself if I left it alone."
I said standing up.
"I will try to look into more secure places sir"
"Yeah.. thanks Jarvis."
------------------------------------
[Meanwhile]
"What's the status report."
"Subject is currently living in the cliffside mansion near musutafu , Japan.
Along with his , childhood friend and schoolmate Melissa Shield.
There seems to be a underground lab facility in the house.
But the security is tight. I cannot breach in directly.
I also tried an attack on server. But there seems to an advance AI on the lookout."
"What about the data gathering..?"
"Primary observations are done.
I have made contact with the girl. I maybe able to aquire the repulser technology tomorrow , since the girl will bring one to UA next day ."
"Good. What about the UA faculty. "
"They still don't suspect a thing. I am clear. "
" Good. Keep observing him and try to get the scan on repulser as fast as possible."
"Understood."
Hey guys it's phantom again with another chapter.
I have a doubt about the time line here.
what's the time difference between the first battle class and USJ attack.
Did it happen next day or few days later.
Post your thoughts in the comments and please enjoy.
PEACE OUT
