Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

>>Why would they talk? Tsk. With the short drama. Who would have the confidence to talk? No one wanted to be the object of attention.

'That's just a simple lesson. Why would I let the leaders of my troop easily be read like an open book? Would you?' 

>>Speechless.

"I think you want us to work together and build a kind of bond between us." A young man named Chris answered. 

"Thank you, Chris. You're right. We want to develop a bond between you. And this is the privilege you all have as A knight. Many knights will be on your team in the future. But knowing each other gives you the confidence we are not some kind of dark organization or whatnot. Also, when you saw each other in the open. You know what that means…. However, only those that wort it and attain a certain level could know other families of Terra world."

So that's it… The people smiled.

"You are 50 and they will group you into 10…. After the completion of the implementation of the contract. We will assign you various categories of knights and your missions. Don't forget… everyone must sign a contract. So, the earlier your squad, team, and whatnot complete the signing of the contract, the better. Why." He paused. 'Shit… I haven't talked this much since I was born. So tiring.' 

The spacious room was in dead silence while everyone's eyes brightened with their rapid carbon dioxide escaping from their mouth. Why is it important for them to finish their signing their contract quickly? Seeing their anticipation, the young man twisted his lips under the masked and change his mind.

"You have to find out." He declared.

What!

All their anticipation deflated like a balloon, sighing and relaxing their back on their chair while some looked at the young man like giving him a serious beating. Why raised our hope if you knew you won't tell us? They complained in their mind.

The young man ignored their grumbling and continue like usual. "Work smartly and don't fail Terra, because Terra won't fail you. Any questions?"

After a couple of silent moments in the room, a middle-aged man stood up. "Since we won't be working in the shadows anymore. Will our family be safe? I mean, is there any provision for our families."

"Nice question".

The young man looked at the face of his future knight with a smile hidden on his masked. 'Family can be a strength but alas also a weakness.' He cleared his throat, seeing their brightened face. "The moment you joined Terra, your family has always been under our protection. So now, your level had increased in Terra. You can guess what will happen to your family member."

Hearing this, they released a lot of sighing relief in the spacious room while also a smile blossom on their face. Their worry had been taken care of. Their worry was not unfounded, though. Thango could play dirty when they realized they couldn't lay their hands on you. And these people understand that.

"Are there any more questions?"

The knights looked at each other and saw no one had the intention of standing up. Watching this, the young man nodded slightly. "Remember, don't get tensed up. Terra always watched over her people-"

[[Danger. Unknown threat discovered.]]

[[Lifeform identify]]

[[Kpriv Detected.]]

The young man paused for a few seconds when he received the latest intel. The knight noticed and raised their brow. But at once, the young man recovered as if nothing happened. He looked at the knight. "This will end today. Till when next we meet. Work hard…. I hope to see all of you at the next level." With that, he left the room with a large stride. 

What! 

Next level.

Is there a level higher than us?

Many questions flow in the brain of the knights. However, before they what was going on. The young man had disappeared. However, the flames of determination in their eyes burn. All of them vowed to attain the next level. 

Beep! Beep!

While the knights were preparing to leave the room, Numerous notifications appeared on their phones. Without further ado, all of them checked their phones while all the murmurs disappeared, leaving the room silence like a graveyard.

"I guess, the race had already begun." A skinny young man murmured. However, since the room was quiet. Everyone in the room heard his voice, and they all nodded.

…

Emma was back in the sanctuary, looking at the video feed with seriousness, with various thoughts running through his brain. He pursed his lips. 

[[Master, what is your order.]]

"Let wait for a few seconds before we decide what to do." He sat on the nearby chair, not averting his gaze from the screen. "When will the Paralaz sensors and Eagle Eyes be completed?" He asked out of the blue.

[[Both technologies will be completed tomorrow. And ready to be manned to the UAVs while the Eagle Eyes will be dispatched to every corner of Vulture.]]

"Can we shorten the time to half a day?"

[[Probably. If all--]]

"Do it" Emma interrupted.

[[On it.]]

[[More Kpriv Detected.]]

[[Counting…. 10 Kpriv]]

[[Master. I detected a variant among the Kpriv]]

At once, Zeus displayed the live feed on the variant. Though the image was somehow blurred. But the physique of the variant was different from the other Kpriv. And also it behaves differently than the others. He stood at his back, making an indistinct sound to the others Kpriv.

[[Master, with the behavior of the variant. It's giving the Kpriv other like a commander or king of the pack. So, I name 1-star Kpriv.]]

"Ok," He nodded. 'Fuck! So, this is getting more complicated than I expected.'

>>Are they looking for something or what?

"That what I don't know." He grumbled. "If we had completed those sensors. I could have monitored without losing any of their movement." He complained.

>>You've done your best… So, don't beat yourself unnecessarily.'

"You think I'm beating myself unnecessary." He shook his head. "What do you think will happen if this blows out beyond our imagination? Hmm?"

>>It will invite attention from other cities or Continents. I understand. Your foresight is quite something.

"Foresight or not. The main issue is to understand what this damned Kpriv is doing here. And where the hell are they coming from." He rubbed his forehead. "Zeus, rerun the scan of Sambisa forest. We are definitely missing something."

[[On it.]]

 [[Connecting to an available satellite.]]

[[Hacking into the satellite…..]]

[[Hacking successful.]]

[[Redirecting the satellite.]]

[[Scanning commencing…]]

Emma watched everything without blinking, tapping his foot on the floor gently. He watched as the satellite scanned Sambisa forest. After a couple of minutes, a message appeared on the vast screen. 'Nothing abnormal found.' Seeing this, Emma slammed the table in front of him.

"Are they fucking appearing out of nowhere.!" He yelled. "This I can't accept."

[[Kpriv is moving!]]

Hearing the sudden raised in Zeus's voice. Emma quickly calmed himself. He looked at the screen with rapt attention. The speed at which the Kpriv was moving was jaw-dropping. Emma couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The Kpriv they discover previously was probably playing. Its speeds pale compared to the present speed appearing on the screen. Emma did not know when he yelled. "What the hell!!"

How can a beast move this fast?

'Lily, you have more knowledge than me. How is this possible….! They are moving 10 times the speed of a bullet!' He shouted in his head. Lily waited for a couple of seconds before responding.

>> many things in the universe will go against your basic understanding. And this is one of them. The earlier you accept, the better.

Emma didn't know what to say. His brain short circuit for a few seconds, before taking a deep breath.

[[Sir, the Kpriv are closing fast on the nearest settlement.]]

[[You have to decide now. According to their current speed. The Kpriv will arrive at approximately 8 seconds.]]

'They cover over 15 km in less than 15 seconds.' He flopped on the chair.

>>You don't need to worry about their speed at present. You must find a solution first.

'Do you think my brain is at rest? I burning my brain out here. What! Do you expect me to rush and confront them!'

Hearing Emma's outburst. Lily remained quiet. She understood the pressure on his shoulder. After thinking for a couple of seconds. He sat up straight with his eyes brightened. "Send the Kpriv video feed to the three powerful organizations. Let see how they handle the situation."

[[On it, sir.]]

[[2 seconds before the Kpriv arrived]]

Emma shook his head. There is nothing he could do. 'I hope those people discover the Kpriv on time and find a way to escape.'

…

In three different locations, the head of the three most powerful organizations receives an anonymous message. Seeing this, they were dumbfounded. How could this be! With the various security protocols, they've put in place. Someone could still infiltrate their phone. This made them question their security personnel.

However, they put the thought at the back of their mind. They need to deal with the anonymous message first. Without opening the message. They called their various IT teams to check the message for any nefarious activity.
