AutoTerra: Operating Systems

Chapter 42: Accepting the Offer

Mavin walked quickly through the corridor to his cabin carrying a tab, still disguised as an eccentric child Hippie. Other than not wanting anyone to be suspicious, he indeed had to rush up to the cabin to convey this to Harnan.

Hopefully the deputy commander is already in place.

Cabin door automatically open. Soon Mavin entered and locked it with a password. Residents in it suddenly jumped in shock while playing a mobile phone on the sofa.

“Bujubuneng! Nih son of a lizard ngagetin only..!” harnan snapped spontaneously while stroking his chest that felt almost dislodged.

“Ngagetin what? People just go in doang. You've seen all sorts of things, huh?” mavin asked suspiciously.

Harnan was silent with a somewhat sour face. Finish him off if the commander finds out he's watching ‘something’.

Reluctant to care if Harnan will answer or not, Mavin prefers to sit leaning on a single sofa with a sigh of relief.

“Can be the result.” Mavin massaged his temple.

“What?”

Mavin threw the tab until the end managed to hit Harnan's head to make a loud ‘pletak’ sound.

Really, so the commander has no courtesy the same older representative of him. How could he be trusted to be a battalion commander? Thought Harnan was annoyed.

“What the hell is playing throw-throw everything?!” namel Harnan while stroking his head that began to be purplish, “Could not be loved anyway baek-baek, so?”

Mavin clucked, “Ck! Huh, ah. Look aja, sono.”

Like the Mavin command, Harnan looks at the document data on that tab. Automatically his brown eyes widened in shock when he saw the contents of the data.

“Cuy, this—.”

“Hah?” cut Mavin waiting for a response.

Look at the faces no matter Mavin, want it feels like Harnan slapped using the stern of the plane.

“I think you deserve to be called the commander of the tadpole army rather than the commander of the battalion. That is, what is this..?” Harnan tapped the tab with emotion. “Seenak your ass you put Astan on a mission to Feron 072?! Outsiders should not arbitrarily interfere in military missions! If caught by the Great Commander, even to the General, you can be targeted to the bottom of hell.”

“It will not be proven that Astan is Vice Chairman of Ash.”

Harnan's emotions shrieked, turning in confusion. “Ma-you mean..?”

Mavin crossed his legs. “From the results of the conversation, it has been concluded that he is indeed the Vice Chairman of the Unit Leston09, Astan Pradipta Cornell or more often we greet as Ash. Most likely she actually had amnesia due to an accident that hit her on the Feron Ship 072 three years ago.”

“Truely so, apparently,” muttered Harnan for a moment. “Then, what's your reason for taking Astan on this mission? Now, Astan's profession is a hunter. The current situation of Astan is not a reason for you to recklessly enter non-military people into the mission.”

“I offer an agreement for Astan to be involved in the mission because something happened to him,” Mavin replied seriously, “This is important! And Instant's involvement could be the key to the success of this mission.”

“You mean?” asked Harnan in wonder. “I did not get any points at all as your strong reason.”

Again Mavin scolded his temple because of dizziness facing the nagger Harnan.

“Something in a dream and its hallucination asks Astan to return. There is most likely a place to return which he meant was the Feron Ship 072.”

….

“What?! You told me to get involved in a military mission?!”

Before Mavin returned to the cabin, the commander was still trying to make an offer to get Astan involved in his mission.

“Do you know that I am a hunter now?” ask Instant emotions. “The relationship between the military and hunters alone is considered tenuous, let alone the involvement of a hunter in a military mission. That includes violations!”

“I know. But, no one will know if we can keep this a secret.”

Astan chose silence. Long rise blood pressure if you continue to face with the commander of this antique mind.

“That moaning might just ask you to go back there.”

Astan was still furrowing his brows, getting more and more confused. Why did the moans ask him to return to Feron 072? Although some of Astan accept the fact that he may have amnesia, but he is still not sure if he had been to the pharmaceutical company's ship before.

Mavin again continued, “You may still not be sure if you are Ash who has amnesia. But, try to think again. If you are Vice Chairman Ash who previously served on the ship and survived, then the moans of your dreams and hallucinations ask you to return there.”

“For what?”

Mavin shrugged his shoulders for a moment. “We will never know the answer if we don't try. Think, Astan. Maybe this way you will get answers to all the dreams and hallucinations that hit you. This opportunity will never come a second time.”

Again, various sentences in the form of invitations were thrown from Mavin's mouth. Come to think of it, what Mavin said could be true.

The place where the moans in Astan's dreams and hallucinations are referred is probably Feron 072. The fact that maybe Astan was really Ash the military member who had worked on the ship, he said, but now he has amnesia and is haunted by the subconscious asking him to try to remember important things in the past. All of those allegations are completely connected.

I am getting more and more confused thinking about it. It felt, this head was about to break into pieces of glass.

What can I do? If all these allegations are true, then in order to free his mind from all this confusion, Astan was forced to accept Mavin's offer.

Toh Mavin will be responsible if this offer is a violation.

….

“So...” Harnan. “That's why you're involving Astan on this mission? But, are you sure that this Astan is the Vice Chairman of Unit Reston09?”

Mavin shook Harnan's head.

“Adoh!”

“Your question was from earlier,” said Mavin rather irritated, “Intinya, we just let Astan participate in this mission. Who knows, he can get his memories back after seeing the Feron Ship 072.”

“But, to ship it is too risky for adoh— rank hunters, again?!”

Again Mavin shook Harnan's head to two levels.

“Can I akali. Obviously, you rest first. At the hour past midnight, we immediately leave for the headquarters with Astan.”

Harnan rubbed his broken head. “You yourself how?”

“I still no need with Vice Chairman Noah.”

“Ya, already...”.

Harnan got up from the sofa, went to the bedroom still rubbing his head which had a bump.

“Do not try to do ‘something’ inside!” yelled Mavin still sitting on the sofa.

Apparently, Mavin had guessed that what Harnan watched was ‘something’ on his phone.

When we got to the room, Harnan replied, “Aelah~ Won't! No bar soap here, mah..!”

“You ‘mah ketchup bottle directly cured. Try using a liquid soap bottle.”

“Hahaha..!”

Harnan's laughter immediately boomed through the room until it was heard throughout the cabin, while Mavin himself tried to hold back the laughter from the jokes of the two of them.

Of course Mavin was just kidding. How could it fit just a ketchup bottle with a liquid soap bottle?

Gosh darn. Remember God, remember the afterlife.
