AutoTerra: Operating Systems

Chapter 52: Ferron Ship 072

The space shuttle Team Aravan071 flew so fast from Planet Ribelo to its destination. All members are sitting in their seats, waiting for the pilot and co-pilot to stop the plane from reaching its destination.

During the trip, Edrick and Wirma moved out of their seats, starting to give detailed explanations of the mission to the team members.

“OK, we will explain some mission details to remind you. And also, we will make plans before arriving at Feron Ship 072.”

“Previously, I would say that the current position of the Ferron Ship is around Planet Nocturne,” said Wirma, “If it uses the FTL speed of this aircraft, the, it takes about two hours to get there.”

A large hologram panel appeared before them, showing a picture of the floor plan of a spacecraft.

Edrick pointed to the panel. “This is the plan of Feron Ship 072 that we know from the information contained in the military data.”

“We have also transferred the details of the floor plan to your system just in case,” added Wirma.

Justright. Their system panel suddenly appeared, showing the plan of the Ferron 072 similar to that shown by Edrick and Wirma. The Instant system panel also shows the same image.

“The structure and areas here are the same as those on spacecraft in general.” Edrick began to explain, “This ship has been three years lost contact, so most likely the power and fuel generation system is also no longer working.”

“Our main mission is to collect more evidence of illegal acts data between Feron Company and BioEmerald Organization. So, there's some point where we're targeting. Those places most likely store all the data we are looking for.”

“First, Public Deck. This Public Deck is the largest ship area. We do not need to trace to the entire deck, considering we are also pursued time to complete this mission. The place we definitely need to go is the Office Area. There certainly stores a lot of information about evidence of smuggling, embezzlement of funds, and data from anyone involved.”

“Second, Medical Deck, precisely in Laboratory Area. There are various kinds of Laboratory Areas there, ranging from Chemical Lab, Pharmaceutical Lab, to Biology Lab. Try to browse all areas of this lab, because the data contains illegal experiments there, especially data from experiments duplicating the AutoTerra.” System

Again Astan is still astonished by this type of experiment. He, even the members of the military who were here, still could not believe that the AutoTerra System could be duplicated.

So what kind of object was produced by this experiment? Would it harm them on that spaceship?

Edrick again continued, “Three, Security Deck. We can get the security database that's there, as well as the various evidence records. Of all the recordings, we will know what really happened on the Feron Ship 072 three years ago.”

“But...” Edrick crossed out the three places using his finger on the hologram panel. “All those places we can't access.”

Faintly heard the members whispered to each other, confused by the statement about all areas of the ship inaccessible. If it's inaccessible, then how do they navigate the entire ship and look for evidence?

Wirma sighed, “….Listen to me more clearly, okay? The way for us to access all the places and facilities that are there is—.”

The representative circled one place that was slightly behind the Public Deck.

“By going to the Energy Generation Area. We will try to turn on the Crystal Core generator to be able to activate the energy from the Ship Core to make it easier for us to access many places,” explained Wirma, “Only, just, most likely the generator will not function perfectly because the ship has been in operation for three years. Must have some component damage.”

“At least, still mending can be turned on. Importantly, we can more easily access the places we target. It does not matter if the Ship Core energy does not reach some areas such as Hydroponic Deck, Industrial Area, and some places that we do not target,” added Edrick anyway.

“Excuse me, Chairman.” One of the members asked, “How do we access the Energy Generation Area, while the location alone is somewhat in the middle of the hull? Aren't all regions inaccessible in the absence of a Crystal Core to awaken the Ship's Core energy? This plane is also impossible to directly land there, right?”

Edrick calmly replied, “We can still go to the Energy Generation Area by manually opening the gates connected to it. It will be very difficult and it takes a lot of people to be able to open each gate because the gate is very hard, and can not be blown or penetrated by a kind of laser cutter to open it because it is coated in thick steel.”

One more soldier was about to ask, but Wirma had already answered before the question was issued.

The soldier with the face. It was a bit uncomfortable when the representative already knew from the beginning what he wanted to ask.

Edrick explained again, “So, our first destination is the Energy Generation Area. Once the Ship Core energy is ignited using the Crystal Core generator, we will split into several targeted places. Don't worry about the Crystal Core, I've already brought it in my system storage.”

“More, we will carry out this mission according to the direction of the Chairman or I. In the middle, maybe our plans will change according to the situation we face. So, stay alert and try to make this mission run smoothly,” added Wirma as well.

“Ready!”

After more than two hours of travel, the speed of the plane has begun to slow down, the view of space through the plane's window also began to be clearly visible.

Astan was able to see the outside view. However, his two heterochrome eyes were rounded when suddenly a strange object crashed into the window of a nearby plane.

“E-eh, what is it?” said Astan shocked.

Spontaneous members also saw the object. They are no less surprised when they realize that the object is a human body that has been destroyed, its shape is not careless, hardened, oscillated in space. What made them even more surprised was that the clothes worn by the body were the armor of their battalion.

“I-it…. Personnel who was sent from our battalion, right?”

“Kok can be kayak so..?”

Edrick sharpened his bright blue eyes. Things like this have been as expected with Mavin and Harnan before. The personnel who were sent there and lost contact are confirmed dead.

But, it was unexpected that their deaths would end this tragic.

In addition, they also saw quite a lot of wreckage floating around out there. The debris is thought to be the remains of objects or parts of the damaged Feron 072 that were eroded.

“Chairman, we have arrived,” said the pilot.

Now the plane is slowing down, approaching a large spacecraft object that is around the dark blue surface of Nocturne Gas Planet.

At first glance, this scene was enough to make some members horrified to see it. Of course this is quite terrible, seeing a shipwreck oscillating for three years until it almost orbits on a gas planet.

Astan stared at the sight. He didn't know what to react to, everything felt hollow to Astan. Until when his eyes re-patterned, found a glimpse of the shadow in his mind.

“I'm trusted to keep an eye on the movement of this company on their ship. Hopefully, I can move up the ranks and have my own Unit, like you.”

“It's good. I can't wait for your achievement for the umpteenth time.”

“Hehe…. Of course, buddy. After this, I will definitely catch up with you.”

Astan lowered his head, massaging his temple. He just had a strange vision of someone talking to someone else. They looked close, and the voice from one of them sounded almost similar to Astan.

“Is…. What the fuck was..?” hiss Astan was upset.
