A rapien wearing a metal safety helmet was fixing the emergency power supply. "Larry," he affirmed into a head set, "From what I'm seeing here, this power outage isn't caused by any wearten technology I've seen before. It's some sort of virus that has been unleashed into our systems."

Larry heard the message and theorised, "Wait if it shuts our systems down, does that mean our radars may have been affected?"
"Yes, and it possibly means that ships that are really far but in range of the radar would be hidden at any point of time, though manual cameras at close ranges show no sign so far." The engineer replied.

The engineer continued fixing and rewiring certain wires. "Power supply added." The engineer congratulated himself and contact Larry about the news.

Cam tinkered with the elevator controls when he suddenly heard an announcement, "Power Supply added."
"Good, now bring me down please." Cam begged. The lift began moving down as the buttons panel dangled from the wires.

The elevator finally reached the floor Cam wanted and he left the elevator.
Cam started sprinting as he called Larry, "Larry where the heck are you?" Cam heard the response and made his way towards Larry.

Many brawlers exited their apartments and were wandering around trying to find some other brawlers. Larry observed them through hidden cameras. "You see the culprit?" Bob shook his head, "Though we should keep an eye out on the robots, they have the highest chance of sneaking in with the virus." He advised.

Cam burst through the door and slid towards the screen, "What ya doing lads?" He chimed. "We are looking for the possible culprit..." Larry chanted monotonously without paying much attention to Cam.

Cam placed his arms of his hips and whistled, "I got some info to share too you know." Larry waved his hands, still looking at the screen, "Go on."

Cam sat down on a chair and recalled, "When I was walking by, I think I saw the doors to the air base was lock...and it looked like someone was trying to break in. I also noticed that the lights in the lift had a tint of lime inside the white light."

Bob silenced him, "Did you say something about the air base?" Cam rolled his eyes and repeated, "Someone was pounding on the airbase doors."

Bob widened his eyes, "The merchant! Dammit! Larry, I'm going to escort the merchant to the lobby. Larry shook his head, "No I'll go, I need to meet the brawlers anyway." Bob took control of the cameras and allowed Larry to pass. "Make the announcement to the brawlers to tell them about the meeting point as soon as the contact area gets fixed." Larry shouted as he exited the room.

"No! Why is this not opening!" The merchant frantically thought. He grabbed a metal clamp that he found in his ship and started unwinding the sliding doors. "It's not working! Do I have a laser cutter of something?"

A blue translucent sword suddenly pierced the side of the doors, scaring the merchant. He took a step back as and hauled the doors down, "Merchant! Come with me. We got you." The enicollien merchant followed the group consisting of Larry and some soldiers.

They swiftly made their way towards the lobby area.

Leon and Jessie stopped at a closed door way, "Damn, take a look at the map again, where are we going anyway?" Leon suggested. Jessie opened the map and reread it. While she was reading it, another announcement was made, this time round, it wasn't a robot speaking, instead it was Bob's voice. "All brawlers to report to lobby, near entrance and market district." Leon nodded with Jessie and they changed their route.
