TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR
EPISODE 58: SPEEDY GONZALES



The hologram image is a keyboard and screen device, and is only visible in Cointa's vision as a control room inside a satellite. The woman's hand typed a series of rows of numbers, opened the encryption code, entered a number of new numbers, until in front of him lay several satellites and one of them was an American military satellite.


The woman continued typing numbers and letters to insert a logarithm virus into an American satellite until a password for entry was obtained. In less than two minutes, the logarithm had cracked the entry code and Clementine was able to get an image of the American military's satellite control room.


From the corner of his eye the Prefect noticed the Auris clock that had been set to guide the countdown starting from ten minutes ago so that he did not lose any precious time for a second. Seven minutes to go. And now the hardest part is taking control of the drone which is certainly in the USS Jameson.


It is not difficult to find the position of the USS Jameson in the middle of the Indian Ocean because there are not many large ships that pass in the ocean, especially in the time like now. The difficult thing is to penetrate the defense of the firewall installed in the third layer to protect the communication system, navigation, and drone controllers that turned out to be named Speedy Gonzales.


Clementine Cointa commented short, “You are brash using the name of my favorite cartoon character.”


Once again the introduction of the virus into the computer system of the USS Jameson. Numbers and letters resembling a tank swarmed into the satellite network, which soon descended into the US Navy's carrier network.


According to the calculations on paper, if the virus is able to decode each firewall for two minutes it will certainly take about six minutes to take control. And that means within a minute, he should have made up his mind about the drone before it reaches its target in Tehran.


One minute.the virus managed to break down the first wall…


One minute.the virus broke down the second wall…


Cointa thought it would be easy before the virus took longer to break down the third wall…presumably the coding experts on the USS Jameson were trying hard to send a retaliatory virus to guard their wall, which unfortunately remained impenetrable after two and a half minutes…


“YESSSS!!!” Clementine cheered in excitement.


The Auris screen shows several modes of control and his mind acts spontaneously by looking for something that can make the drone return to the USS Jameson. He searched for about a minute, but had not found it until his eyes were fixed on the red button mode that read Self-Destruct at the farthest corner on the right. He pointed the cursor at the button and pressed the Enter key.

The USS Jameson commander could only stare at the screen as it was filled with images of a fiery red flame, but a few minutes ago he still saw the light of the city of Tehran ahead ready to become a battlefield. The man turned to drone control team Speedy Gonzales, “What the fuck was that?”


“Droniya destroyed, sir!” the pilot answered with a face of shock.


“The control system is gone from our hands,” the navigator added.


“You mean the drone was not destroyed by the Iranian side?”


“We still don't know! Something entered the computerized system and took over the drone control program to be destroyed through the Self-Destruct.” program


“And it looks like it's not an Iranian virus, sir!” continue the sailor who is in charge of supervising the ship's communication center which is also in the room.


“How can you be sure?”


“Because something entered the drone control room through our communication line.”


“Where did that come from?”


The sailor replied steadily but accompanied by a face of confusion, “Technically, sir.it is from our own surveillance satellite..”.


The commander scratched his head that was not itching.he did not know what report he would give to his superiors at the Pentagon, and of course all sorts of reasons could not be a shield, he said, however this mission was a failure for him…

Clementine Cointa smiled with satisfaction at the blazing flames on Auris' screen. It is a sign that Speedy Gonzales has been successfully paralyzed. The woman muttered to herself, “Nothing can paralyze Speedy Gonzales other than herself.”


The young man who became the model of the painting asked because he saw the face of Cointa who had been beaming back, “What the fuck was earlier..” his attitude could be understood because it was possible that the man did not know who the Cointa Prefect really was, and that was the real Cointa, or if he knows it could be his character who is always curious and likes to interfere in people's affairs. “... I'm surprised to see you, intermittently serious… then now grumbling about Speedy Gonzales. Who is Speedy Gonzales?”


The woman laughed at the model's expression, “You don't know who Speedy Gonzales is?”


“He's not my guy!”


“Then why do you keep calling his name from earlier?”


Clementine Cointa was even more surprised, “Why not? There is no relationship between us.”


The man gasped, seemingly only aware of his position. She was just a painting model, while this woman was a client. Of course.he can certainly do anything, call anyone. He responded with a vibrating voice, “Ya. I'm sorry.. I'm sassy!”


On Clementine's side, he only saw a disillusionment with the young man's attitude and it made him aware. For a long time indeed he smelled something on the man he often rented as a model of this painting. It's just that he never wanted to know further because it wasn't important to him, but at this moment when this young man was precisely knowing what he could do and his success tonight…


Delusukus cheek of the young man, “No need to apologize! I may be too hard on you. I want to tell you who Speedy Gonzales is.”


"Really?” the young man stared in disbelief.


“I will tell you after we finish my painting, how?”


“Alright,” the young man smiled happily. “We continue now?”


“Not this one,” Clementine pointed to her painting that was left behind when it got an SOS call. “I just got a new idea for my painting.”


“Oh?” the young man's face was disappointed. “I think we'll chat after this painting is done. Means it'll be long?”


“Do you mind lingering with me?”


The man shook his head, “No...of course not... It's just that I'm afraid it will make you spend even more money to pay me.”


Clementine smiled, “Which doesn't matter to me.”


“Do we want to do it now?”


“Bby, just I ask you to do something first for me..mau?”.


“What is it?”


“Open your clothes.”


“My clothes?” the young man was surprised. “Why?”


“Because that's the basic idea of my new painting?”


The man smilingly nodded, “I understand, you want to paint me naked.”


“You understand too..” Clementine again nodded.


“Naah, already...” said the man after doing what the naughty client told him to do. “Pose what do you want me to do?”


“Pose that you don't remember what I just did,” said Clementine, who just finished installing her Tazzer.


“Hah?” the young man gawked. The next second, the man's body strained for a while before collapsing to the floor due to something stinging him.


Clementine Cointa smiled looking at the fainted man and gave orders to Auris, “Auris connection to Amnesinox!”
