AutoTerra: Operating Systems

Chapter 49: The Uniform

Harnan was back in the chair, watching the conversation of the three of them with his hands propped up and his head and the other knocked at the table. His face and neck were a bit bonyok because of Mavin's beat, sour expression, annoyed treated like this.

Yes, although impressed joking like a fellow man, but embarrassed also seen Edrick and Astan who have a position below them. So lost the authority of this black-haired man.

“So...”.

Mavin looked serious about the topic this time. His two green eyes began to sharpen, noticing Edrick and Astan who were in front of him.

“As the initial plan. The Aravan071 team will go to the wreck of Feron 072 to search for the remains of evidence of BioEmerald's involvement in illegal experiments, duplicating the AutoTerra System. If you find additional information about the Feron Company that was not found, it is an additional value.”

“Only, Astan's involvement in this mission has its own reasons.” Mavin breathed a moment. “Astan is alleged to be Vice Chairman Ash of Unit Leston09 who was pronounced dead in the incident on the spacecraft. It is still not 100% certain, but what makes us believe this Astan is Ash because Astan often complains of getting dreams or hallucinations in the form of space ships, massacres, and shadows accompanied by groans and electric sounds.”

“All the dreams and hallucinations that Astan gets are most likely part of his past memories, but not so obvious because Astan has amnesia.”

“Amnesia?” edrick was a bit surprised.

“Gosh...” Astan leaned his body with both hands supporting the back of his head. “I'm still not sure about all that, let alone about my state of forgetting memories.”

Mavin smiled knot. “Nah, this is also the reason why I want Astan to join this mission. That is, to find out the clarity of the illusion that has been shaking Astan.”

“You are still confident that including Astan on a mission to Feron 072 is the right choice?” asked Harnan, sitting relaxed with both legs raised back to the table.

“Yep.” Mavin replied confidently, “The strong reason is because the voices passing in Astan's head always ask Astan to come back. Images of his dreams and hallucinations also always show about a place on a spaceship, as well as the many corpses in uniform.”

“That means, the moaning asks Astan to return to a spaceship that the dream shows. And of course, the spacecraft in question is the Feron 072 if it is related to the identity of Astan actually, namely Vice Chairman Ash of Unit Leston09.”

“Aduh…. Your explanation is a bit muter-muter, yes.” Harnan scratched his head. “Intinya, Astan's involvement in this mission all to help Astan find out about the facts of his dreams and hallucinations on Feron Ship 072. It is possible that all the hallucinations are closely related to Astan's lost memory. If it is true that Astan is the Vice Chairman of Ash, then with the return of Astan's memory through this mission will make it easier for us to collect more data and evidence of the crime of Feron Company and BioEmerald.” Organization

“Ooo...” Edrick nodded. “I understand, although I admit Commander Mavin's explanation is too muter-muter.”

Mavin lowered his head in lethargy as his lengthy explanation was considered long-winded. Imaginary gloomy auras appeared in his head.

“So, during the mission, we entrust Astan to you, Chairman Edrick,” said Harnan again, “Do not until the other personnel know everything about Astan, starting from Astan's original profession as a hunter, until his involvement because it is still suspected as Vice Chairman Ash who suffered amnesia. Not even your wife knows.”

“Ready, Deputy Commander!” Edrick saluted steadily.

“Haaah..” Astan sighed, turning his face away for a moment. “You guys want to involve me in a military mission.”

“This is also for your good and the government.” Mavin smiled wryly at Astan. “After all, you're also curious about your real past, aren't you?”

Astan thought about what Mavin said. It's true, Astan was curious about his past before being on the Thornic Ship 035. Yang Astan remembered only about the memory of when he had just finished raising a lot of money with Suda, the result of odd jobs with a reason to improve their lives in the future. And it happened when Astan was just in his early teens.

From these memories, Astan was sure that after that they both lived on the ship Thornic 035.

But that short time it happened?

Come to think of it, there are indeed irregularities in Astan's memory. The incident had been many years, while he himself had only lived with Suda for three years.

It's quaint….

Is it true that Mavin thinks that Astan has amnesia?

Again a similar question always crossed Astan's mind, still not 100% sure that he had worked in the military.

Edrick looked at his watch. “It's time to meet the rest of the team, Mr.”

“Well, this!”

Not yet Astan stood up, his face was pelted uniform by Harnan.

“Military uniform?” Astan looked at the uniform.

“Of course you have to wear a military uniform while you're here. You think you're allowed to wear kayak-free clothes like that? Which there are people on the more suspicious.”

When he noticed himself, Astan just remembered that he was still wearing a black leather jacket suit.

“Iye, iye…. But, don't wear thrown too. Dikasih baek-baek, that is,” pussy Astan does not like the attitude of Harnan.

“Already, don't fight again.” Mavin. “You change clothes first, Astan. We will wait outside.”

As they walked out of the office, leaving Astan alone to change clothes, Astan shook his head, sneering back at the annoying attitude of Harnan who seemed to be getting annoyed with him.

...~*~*~*~...

The Military sector is the largest sector in the entire Ribelo-II Group headquarters, as the main heart of the headquarters structure. It is the most important sector in which military activities are conducted, training, sports, preparation, and residence for military personnel.

The Military Sector consists of the dormitory area of the members of the military, various indoor fields as training grounds, office space for each unit and team, a special cafeteria, and a large, there are many more facilities available in this sector.

Mavin and Harnan are currently serving as members of Team Aravan071 at one of the indoor courts, Military Sector. Beside Mavin, there was a young man who was the representative of this team. While beside Harnan, the figure of Edrick is still with a hat and black mask that always covers his face.

All members were seen lined up neatly in a resting standing position, Astan also stood at the very end, had several times given a rebuke signal by Edrick to stand more firmly again like a soldier.

Understandably, during his time as a hunter, Astan did not know about military-style orderliness. Line-lined as they did before the negotiation was the result of his experience while still in SD.

“…. Irawan Yunus, Lavisto Ordalez, and..”.

Harnan's brown eyes had noticed the row of Astan who seemed to try to stand as fast as possible as Edrick hinted.

“….Astanu Hernawan.” Harnan lowered his tab after he finished his announcement.

“Good.” Mavin stood with both hands behind. “As previously planned. 13 personnel, including the chairman and vice-chairman of the team, will carry out the mission to Feron Ship 072. The goal is to gather more evidence about BioEmerald's involvement with the Feron Company over illegal experiments. If there is any other evidence you can gather regarding Feron's data, it is an added value to this mission.”

“This mission has been run by several teams, but all of it did not produce results at all.” Mavin sighed, trying to ease her anxiety. “Therefore, I hope, this mission can be run smoothly by this new team. I also really hope that all personnel can return safely.”

Some of them looked a little lethargic. Astan was convinced that they were beginning to feel anxious given the difficulty of the mission, and that some military teams had not survived there.

This must have made them depressed. But because of the demands of work, guaranteeing a brilliant future as a space government servant, it is their obligation to carry out missions as heavy and difficult as any mission.

Mavin continued, “Because we are being chased by time, the mission will be carried out the day after tomorrow. So, prepare yourself carefully. Do not let your guard down in carrying out the mission, and remain vigilant. Understood?!”

“Ready! Copy, Commander!” said the line of personnel in unison.

Mavin nodded. “Good. Now, you can come back.”

Mavin gestured for Harnan to immediately disband the line.
