Position and Shoot

Sometime after that mission, my friends and I were getting ready inside the base. While waiting for Athar and Gras to return, we discussed the next plan. It seems Alya and Ethan are still doubtful about the proposal that the action begin with an attack on the edge of the city.

“As I said, the guard will be tighter if so,” Stella said.

Instantly I thought of an idea. Plans like that made me think of an action movie I'd seen.

“How about we attack it in unison? We can knock out almost half the guard troops directly,” I propose.

“Can you explain in more detail?” ask Ethan.

Shown in my head was a movie scene, the events in it almost resembled our current condition. People were doing demonstrations as usual, only there was a long-range shooter who was in position, precisely inside the building and untraceable. At the right moment, they shot all the officers seen at the same time.

“Wah, great idea! I didn't expect you to remember that scene,” Ellie said.

“Miris once. We are inspired by the film,” Zilei quipped.

“Do not get it wrong. The film is a picture of the idea and the thought of the maker. Already many films have come true,” reply Leora.

“But, can everyone use a remote weapon?” ask Sara.

“We have many people who can use it,” replied Lukas.

“Really? I never thought they could actually use it,” Ellie said. “I got info if they practice there more often,” reply Luke.

“Are they not caught?” many wonder.

“There are also many secret places like this,” he replied.

“Alright, Malka's idea makes sense to me. At least the risk obtained is smaller than the previous idea,” reply Ethan.

Ellie went to pick up the long-range weapon she made. We both saw him briefly explain about the weapon.

“Is there a thermal detector?” ask Alya.

“There, this way we can use it night-night,” Ellie replied.

“But as far as I know, there are protective devices that are difficult to detect, one of them with a thermal detector,” I replied. Lydia explained it to me.

“Means it will be difficult if done night-night..” muttered Ellie.

“Demonstration alone makes no sense if it does at night,” said Zilei.

“Athar and Gras may be until later tonight. We can get the activists moving in the morning. Then we can start the action at noon,” said Alya.

Suddenly Athar and Gras came.

“Eh? You guys came faster than we predicted,” said Lukas.

“Is there any info from there?” ask Ethan.

“They focus more on long-range weapons. They want to do it hidden,” Athar replied.

“Pas once!” reply Alya. Then Alya explained back what we have discussed so far.

“How?” ask Alya.

“Good. I can shadow him. When do we start?” reply Athar.

“Tomorrow,” replied Ethan.

“Me and Athar will tell them now,” Luke said.

In the end, we decided on the plan.

“Synnefa!”

The next day, when the sun shines on the surface of the planet, the sky is very bright. The visibility was very far away, we were helped by the weather today. Like the sky is very pleasing to us to carry out our mission.

“Is the sky listening to us?” muttered Ellie. I looked at the sky, subconsciously smiling to myself. It was as if the sky was smiling at me.

People have started moving towards the city center, more precisely the royal administrative building, the Knox Corp building, even the royal palace are also targeted by the crowd. Peaceful demonstration, more or less like that.

Today, the entire continent knows it.

Guard continues to be tightened along the track passed by demonstrators. Meanwhile, Knox Corp only told them that they would receive representatives to talk about together…

Not only in the capital, similar events also occur in almost all corners of the continent. They did a demonstration in front of the tower.”

Everything went according to plan, we monitored from the top floor of the same inn as our headquarters. Now we are engaged in communication with all activists across the continent. Yes, we became the main command of the mission today.

“It's almost at Knox Corp, ask the shooting team to prepare,” Alya said.

“Tim shooter. Shooting team. Take a ready position. Countdown, twenty minutes. Replace,” Athar said through a communication tool. All of us who use it can hear it too.

“Tim west side shooter, already in ready position. Waiting for the next command. Replace.”

So did dozens of firing teams from various sides around the Knox Corp building. I monitor developments from live cameras installed by them and from the news as well.

Slowly, the demonstrators had already entered the main road leading to the Knox Corp building, where Knox was inside.

Suddenly the phone rang, apparently Alya's phone. Alya left us for a quieter place.

“Fifteen minutes. Maintain the condition of the demonstrators. Replace,” says Leora.

“We're five hundred meters from the location. There are a lot of guards there. Replace.”

Alya came up to me, then gave me her phone.

“Malka? Did you hear me?” ask Jack.

“Jack? Yes, I heard you,” my reply.

“What's there okay?”

“Sure. How're you? Isn't it very dangerous to call in front of employees?” my reply. “Take it easy, I'm in my room,” he replied. “In the meantime I will also gather in the Knox room for press release,”.

“Alright, hope you're okay there,” I said.

“You too, I hope everything goes well,” reply.

I'm back in the monitoring room. Time backwards is already seen in ten minutes. The demonstrators were in front of Knox. The building was given a barrier iron wire and guards laid out there.

“At this time the demonstrators are already in front of the Knox Corp building, the royal administrative building, and the royal palace. With loudspeakers, they delivered the protest."

Knox soon appeared on the television screen.

“For those communities who oppose our technological development that makes it easier for humanity. Later there will be experts and experts who explain this misconception…

What all parties need to know. We will not extinguish the energy of the sky as the source of energy for all of us. As much as eighty percent of the needs already depend on it. We should turn to eco-friendly energy, leaving behind fossil energy that is harmful to the sky…

I appreciate this regular form of protest. I do not demand a form of freedom of opinion. This demonstration will also be discussed further for the survival of all of us, up to ten years, one hundred years, the next thousand years.”

Quite a long statement from Knox. Countdown is three minutes away. All weapons are in position and target.

“Aready on target. Replace.”

“Defend each shooter's target. No one overlaps with each other. Replace,” reply Ethan.

Almost touched a minute countdown. The whole conversation went to Ellie. It counts down time.

“Sixty seconds. Last report still accepted..”.

“Thirty seconds. One-way communication, turn on the wave weapon. Set to heavy lubricant..”

“Fifteen seconds. Lock target..”

“Ten, nine, depalan, seven, six, five, four.”.

“Three... two.. one...”.

“Shoot!”
