A loud knock is heard though Ally’s pod. Enough to awaken her out of slumber.

“What's happened?” Ally awakens as she unplugged her link wire from the pod.

“Just when I was able to shut my eyes.” Celi yawns. “ the site was finally uploaded but..” . James and Derick Fully clothed stared at celi. “The video is encoded to a specific tech to watch.” She looked at Ally while being all so worried. “ Cyber lens tech.” .

“Bloody hell.” Ally sighed. “ Is there a way to access the video through other methods?” .

“Unfortunately, looking through the files. it's hard coded to only run on a select system.” Celi informs.

“If that's the case.” Ally says as she flips open her hand. “Plug it in me.” .

still feeling slightly concerned, Celi asks “ you're ready for this?”

“ Affirmative.” Ally nods while pulling out her link cable. “If anything happens. I need one of you to pull me out by plugging me into the pod.”.

Everyone shakes their heads in agreement.

Celi takes a breath and says. “Ok, you should be able to access the site on your lens. Just click and download the video when you're ready!” . Ally closes her eyes as the download is completed. She uses her lens to activate the video. Suddenly, her body is at a stand still.

“She froze.” James thought as he walked near Ally's pod. “Get what you can and get out there, Miller.”

Ally’s slight is covered with a group of five people wearing a large collection of ski masks.

“What kind of video is this?” Ally thought. “ Feels like a memory link.” . She activities her ui. “I can at least control it. One of those masked men must of made it controllable to the public. otherwise, this would of been a continued simulation. ” .

“Help me!” a man shouts.

“ This looks like a hostage!?" Ally notices the feeble man beaten to the ground. "Feels like it's being recorded in some old department.” She looks up at the only sign of light coming from a single window. " so much crates."

Suddenly a load sound from the door opens.

“ Sorry for the hold up.” said by the pixelated man with slight telling of a white mask. His tall black ski masked guard follows behind. “Had a petty run in with this thief we have tied here. Wanting to waste my time by stealing my credits."

The white masked man put a port in the thief's open left hand slot. The thief was silent as his eyes turned dark.

“Finally, silence." The White mask man cheered. "To anyone watching this. You can thank of him for how the idea of how you might be viewing future videos. ” . The recording started to glitch.

“Good god.” Ally thought. “He is using his body to record.” .

The white round masked man continued. “There was a blender at the last gig. Tried to bury the cops alive but somehow they got away scott free. Continuing their ever ending laziness of protecting the people. But I'm not done yet. Our Friend here did give us fellow members access to this location. I advise you all to join in as soon as you can.”

The recording begins to become covered in dark pixels.

“The corruption.” Ally shouts. “ It's spreading all over the recording. I need to leave but I must know the location.”

The white masked one then faced towards Ally in a hauntedly manner. as if her presence was known speaking. “Port forty eight, New Haven port” .

The corruption spreads over all of the recording until everything is covered in darkness.

“Port forty eight, it's the New Haven port!” Ally shouts. “ I can’t access my user interface, again. Why does this always happen!” . Suddenly, she hears chants. “Not again, I won’t give in.”

The chants begin to rawr, “ KILL THE PIGS, BURN METX TO THE GROUND!” .

“Stop!” She shouts. “ Ally!”

the whole truck crew shouts in unison.

“Hooked you up to the pod as soon as you shook.” James said. “You’re ok?” .

“Port warehouse forty eight.” Ally says as she rubs her head. “It turned out to be a memory link of a thief taken hostage.” .

“ That explains the weird download error.” Celi said. “ If that's the case. It's best we get to the location as soon as we can.” .

James looks at Ally and asks. “ We catch them in the act.”

Ally looks up to him. “Yeah, Time to ditch the suits.”

James walks up to his pod and presses a button at the bottom of it.

Ally stood out from her pod and kneel down towards it. Pressing the button and seeing her own dark suit camo appear from the drawers .

“ Celi” Ally asks as she glazes urgently at her . “Call Steve. We are going to need back up.”

Three police cars are rushing through the freeway.

“Due to the impact of last night's attack.” Steve calls Ally through his cyber lens. “ We’re stretched thin on backup.” .

“ Any amount of assistance is appreciated.” Ally responds. “The truck crew is close to the port.” .

“ Hard to think that after all of this time.” Steve ponders as he drives his car wearing his blue and white stripe police armor. “ We may finally put an end to half of this madness.” .

“ How's the lawsuit holding up?” Ally asks. Steves chucks out loud with laughter.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

“Should have seen the look on Mr. Allaire, that rich boy hair grease geezer. Had the nerve to show his face around as we grieved. Offering to drop the lawsuit and give all stations back the robot droids.” .

“Sounds like he is taking advantage of the situation to bury his crimes.” Ally jested

“ Whats the funny part is that while the chief was sorting the station out hours after the attack." Steve said. " He started to ask around a good portion of those who remained at the hall. Although a small amount did agree to have the bots back, many would stand behind my case. Might be because of what I said on the news.” .

“ You’re an honest detective to these people.” Ally said softly. “ Believing that they don’t need the big corporations to drag down their sense of duty.” .

Steve sighs. “Could be that, Ally.” Steve turns towards the freeway exit. “Or it could be that the chief also called up the other station chiefs asking a similar question. Our west station and the east would oppose the offer. The north station would accept while the south station would remain indecisive.” .

“ Any idea when they decide.” Ally asks.

“Should have informed you sooner.” Steve said. “But the crew following us here are members of the southern crew. Due to how close they are to the piers. From my guess, it might be a test to see if we truly need the assistance of Metx at all.” .

Ally smugly replied. “Well, We’ll promise not to disappoint.” .

A moment later, all of the Vehicles swarm around the quiet, cloudy docksides. The area of the docks looky as gloomy as the murky lake. All of the officers get out of their cars and swarm the door .

“Where's that other crew you’re talking about?” An armored officer asked Steve.

“ Right behind you!” James shouted as Him and Ally arrived wearing dark camo suits.

“You two are?” the officer asked.

“We are GBOP agents.” Ally approaches the groups.

“ Sent in by Both the UN to capture the target and maintain the global practice of peace.” .

“ I’m the squad leader here, Fall behind us for backup.” The officer commands. .

“Got you!” Ally nods.

The command leading officer shouts as he, Steve and the other officers slip down their helmet visors. . Everyone walks towards the door.

“The chained lock is busted. "The leading officer says as he opens the door and one by one a member walks slowly.

The lead finds a down and bloody body. “Oh my god!” The leader officer gasped in horror. “ My visor is picking up. No pulse but I did find that he has cyberware. I can track his id to see that one who owns these parts is Victor Jones. Huh, he had some past records of burglary.” .

“Burglary, wait!” Ally realizes urgently. “I know that man from the link. He was used as a tool to broadcast their announcements."

"If that adds up, they seem to have abandoned him.” The squad officer commands. “ Stay together and look around.” .

“Hold up!” one of the side officers shouts. “ I hear footsteps!” . “Everyone, Stand ready!” As the lead shouts all of the squad members equally take towards the darkness. “ Whoever you are, drop your weapon!” The leader shouts.

More and more steps are heard.

“Active night vision lens!” the leader orders. The pitch darkness relieved itself. Leaving behind with dark figures. “ Five armed suspects, Spread out!”.

“LOTS OF DEAD PIGS!” one of the figures in darkness would shout .

A cranking sound is heard shortly before hail of bullets come roaring out of the gun. Half the squad of officers were caught in the mist of bullets.

Ally and Steve would hide at one corner with a warehouse box while James would hide at another across the warehouse.

“James, throw your flashsmoke nade!” Ally shouted.

“Throwing!” he responds.

Suddenly the warehouse is blasted with light and smoke.

“I can’t see!” one of the suspects shouted.

“What is that?!”. The suspect shouts seeing nothing but a cloud of smoke and fast shadowy figures approaching him with brightly lit purple eyes. Quaked in fear, he slowly takes aim but the figure takes a shot to the face and knocks him out.

“Oh god!” another one of the suspects shouted shortly before being hailed with darts.

“I got you!” one of the last three of the suspects shouted. “ Whatever you are, rot in hell!” Suddenly, she couldn’t move. “Ugh, my neck!” She turns around and sees a needle coming from the palms of an upset looking Ally.

The smoke begins to clear up and the two suspects are seen. One cowardly man and the giant black ski masked one with a huge machine gun.

“It's him!” Ally shouted. “His bodyguard. Did they know we were coming!?” .

“Don’t kill me. I give up!” the cowardly guard falls to the ground in shrieking panic .

“Are you quitting on me?” the tall one shouted as he turned his machine gun towards him.

Ally flicked a switch on the back of her dart pistol and shot out a bolt of wire electricity at the tall one.

"Ugh!” the masked one went. Proceeding the giant one with enough pain to drop his giant mini machine gun.

The cowardly man is still in shock. Looked at James and went, “bless you.”

James dart shot to his face. while quickly reloading his rifle. “I’m closing in on him!”

Ally says as she pulls the wire back to her pistol. Ally flips a switch again on the back of her pistol back to dart mode and takes aim. A dart is launched. “What, he isn’t downed.” .

“That hurts!” the tall one shouted. “I’ll kill both of you, pigs!.” The tall one runs quickly up to Ally and punches her down.

“Ally, your vital signs show your bleeding from the nose.” Celi panicky informed me through a call. “ Breath slowly!” .

Ally spits out blood from her mouth. Her visor slightly cracked. “One punch and half the winds took me out of me.” She thought.

The mask one has his attention on Ally before it's ruined by a wave of darts shot to his neck.

“Damn, took the whole mag too!” James shouted.

“Worked as a bouncer for clubs!” the masked one bragged. “Had to built my body for the worst kind to break in. Got paid loads to get juiced up on Chrome!.” Suddenly, he grips both his hands and large blades come out of it!

“James!” Ally shouts as she tries to stand up. “He is dangerously augmented against darts!” . James backs away from the tall menace.

“ You want to play games like that, huh.” James thought. “I got big blades too!” brings out his needle blades.

“ Hey, asshole!” A voice shouted. “Detective!” Ally said slowly getting up. “Stay back, we got this.” As Steve picks up Ally’s pistol. She looks behind with red drip bits coming from behind his feet. “You’re bleeding!” Ally concerned thoughts run through endlessly. “ you must've gotten caught in the ambush!”

“ Such a joke you all turn out to be!” The tall one looked at Steve. “You’ll be the first one sent to be cooked in hell with the other piggies.” The large figure begins trekking towards Steve. Steve takes aim and hits his eye. “AH!”. The large one shouts with aching pain. “ Get it out!”.

Ally stands back up and unleashes her needle blades. “Finish him around the neckline!” Ally shouts towards James. The two pairs are like clockwork. Making the finishing blow towards the tall one’s neck simultaneously. Finally putting the beast to rest.

“Give peace a chance, scumbag.” Steve quotes as he falls on his knees.

“He's bleeding out! We have to keep him awake!” Ally commands with a great amount of fear.

"Do we wait for the medics to show up?” James asked with such urgency .

Ally shakes her head and goes. “This is a big city. It takes too long to get here. WE got to drive him there.” James and her quickly run towards Steve. Ally grabbed a couple of band-aid wrap from one of the compartments of her suit’s belt. “We need to strip off his armor.” .

“Activating interface. Emergency release.” Steve whispers as his suit by command opens .

His white button shirt and cargo shorts at display.

James quickly unbuttoned each part of the upper white shirt. “ The bullet mark on the left of his abdomen. I see it.” .

“Thank you, James.” Ally comforts James with an aching smile. “It's going to be alright. This band aid comes with anti bacterial gel. It slows down the bleeding but it's going to sting!”. Ally leans her head forward as she places the band aid over his wound.

“Ah!” Steve moans.

“ I’m sorry, Steve.” Ally voices with despair.

“I’ve informed Derick ahead to start towards the nearest hospital!” Celi called in. “There's one ten minutes out.” .

“Bless you, Celi.” Ally responds. “Sit him up in one of the pods, quickly!”
