AutoTerra: Operating Systems

Chapter 67: Identification Marks

It was obvious that the giant engine parts of the Ship Core were moving, some of the flaming engine side was channeling the Crystal Core energy from the four generators throughout the ship. Unfortunately, the energy is not distributed evenly due to one generator room destroyed.

Edrick had looked over from the glass of the control room, watching the running of the Core Ship machine. He was a little disappointed by the destruction of Room C and the death of two soldiers. Even if there is not one generator, at least the Core of the Ship can still function even though it is not so optimal.

“No problem if Room C is destroyed. It's just that there may be some parts of the ship that are difficult for us to access because the energy from the Core of the Ship is not evenly distributed,” said Edrick.

“We can only hope the Ship Core energy can get to the targeted areas.”

Edrick nodded in agreement with Wirma's expectations. “OK, we will start to draw up the next plan.”

All the team soldiers lined up neatly, preparing to listen carefully to the leader's every explanation. Astan also joined in a straight line with both hands placed to the back of the body.

“Our soldier lives with nine members. For the next part of the mission, we will split up, dividing our team into three groups so that each group goes to three main areas that have been targeted, namely the Public Deck, Medical Deck, and so on, and Security Deck.”

This time it should be split into three groups. Astan believes that this mission will be more difficult. They will spread to several parts of the ship to get to the destination, certainly more variations of monsters that they will meet later.

Edrick again explained, “According to the negotiations, each group consists of three members. Wirma, Zered, and Farhan go to the Security Deck. There they will help keep an eye on the surroundings, give access to places locked by certain security systems, and find out footage of various surveillance cameras recording the events three years ago. From the recordings, we can find out what is the cause of this ship lost contact and so chaotic, it can also be additional evidence for the BioEmerald.” trial

“Tenma, Lavisto, and Irawan will go to the Public Deck, looking for additional data. The data in the form of evidence of BioEmerald's involvement with the Feron Company, data on embezzlement transactions, various illegal information, to whichever staff is involved.”

“The rest me, Astan, and Bery will go to the Medical Deck. We're going to look for evidence of illegal experiments and information about why the monsters on this ship were created. Definitely the cause can be found out in the laboratory area.”

Astan can understand Edrick's decision for a team with him. Of course, because Edrick is responsible for overseeing Astan during the mission. Astan's goal from the beginning was to find out if he did have a problem with his memory, and by going here might be able to make Astan recall.

However, until now Astan had not remembered anything at all. Instead he had experienced the same thing as he had when carrying out Guild missions with Arni and Grim.

Something went wrong that thanks to him even made Astan free from the trap of Illusionist-E illusion.

“Hehe.”

“Akh?”

Spontaneous Astan turned his head, looking out of the control room through the door that was still open. Whether just the feeling of Astan or indeed what he saw at a glance is a real figure? Astan was like he had just seen a strange shadow sneak onto the sidelines of the wall of the energy generating area, vanishing just like that. At first glance Astan also heard the sound of someone's laughter which was strangely similar to his voice.

Actually, what did Astan feel? Whose other voice did he hear in his mind? And what kind of figure had he just seen?

“So, is the explanation clear? Is there anything to ask?”

Astan's daydreams crumpled when he heard Edrick's voice. He refocused on the leader's explanation. For now, Astan must remain focused on carrying out the mission. Soon Astan will find a mystery about himself.

Astan was really curious, what kind of memory he had lost about himself in the past.

….

In between the walls, a shadow moved deeper and deeper. A pair of bright yellow eyes curved upwards, a sign he was happy when he saw the figure of Astan in a state of fine.

“You who dare decide to save that despicable creature using my power!”

Although in the same form, the shadow has two voices from different personalities, one sounds more subtle, while the other sounds heavy and full of anger.

“Our strengths…. You don't realize that you're a part of me too?! You were made of a mistake!”

“So good you're talking like that! …rgh! If only we weren't trapped in one body, I'd chop you to pieces!”

Although both personalities are still noisier, the form of his shadow is still calmly creeping deep into the ventilation lane of the ship.

“Heh, I'm not sure you dare to do that. Sooner or later, Astan will know the truth.”

That heavy voice was speechless anymore, he just groaned withstanding his frustration of not being able to do anything. Being stuck in the same form with an annoying personality really makes him suffer.

If the goal of the heavy voice could be achieved, he would no longer be stuck with this subtle voice and would definitely finish him off.

Even finish Astan off as well.

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

The entire team has agreed to split into three groups, each group has now moved from the Energy Generation Area to their respective destinations.

About 15 minutes have passed. So far, Edrick's group has had absolutely no obstacles, whether it was by monster attacks or difficulty accessing certain lanes. This time, they had to pass through the Dormitory Area first in order to get to the Medical Deck.

In the Dormitory Area, they entered a corridor. The three decided to try to check every room there, who knows there is something valuable and can be used as evidence as well.

Astan entered one of the rooms whose doors had been destroyed. The room was minimal lighting, the lights were flickering due to the Core energy of the Ship was not channeled optimally because of one chaotic generator room. And it's also a mess.

Every step, Astan's feet involuntarily stepped on the torn fabrics scattered. Through night vision, he saw a room here containing four beds and across the line of lockers that had been partially destroyed.

Astan was curious, trying to check the contents of the lockers. There was nothing suspicious there, just clothes, uniforms, and other supplies. However, his gaze was attracted to one locker without a door.

When checked, Astan found a military uniform that is still neatly arranged. He took out the uniform, rubbing a small bar of identification on the chest of the uniform. It was written clearly a name that made Astan was surprised to read it.

It is very clear there is the name ‘Astan Pradipta Cornell’ with the position of vice chairman of a military unit.

“This, my name..?”
