To investigate what is happening, he needs the help of Sarrie, and right now, they lack electricity to power up her cooling methods. So for his first objective, he needs to find a way to secure electricity. To do that he needs to deactivate EMS override mode.
He looked at the security bot at his side and said,
“Deactivate Override.”
Override mode deactivates the A.I’s methods to think and come up with solutions in their fields. Disabling it is necessary because if given the ability, it may neglect it's master's order for the reason that it may harm him. In fact, during EMS override, the electricity input has not yet maintained for the last 30 minutes. So for John to get suggestions from EMS, he needs to deactivate her current state.
As soon as John deactivated her mode, EMS then suddenly said,
“Sir… Get inside right now!”
“really? Not even a greeting?” He thought to himself. “What kind of warning that made EMS ignore her protocol of greeting first?” He continued.
John tilted his head and said,
“What seems to be the problem EMS?”
Within that sentence, he then remembered what EMS said earlier, that unknown chemicals are floating around the surrounding. He straight on went outside because he wants to see the outside with his own eyes, but now that John realized that what she said was right, he slowly looked at the door at his back and rushed inside.
The door closed at the rapid pace, and a sound of a loud bang can be heard throughout the halls.
Robotic tubes began to come out of the halls as it releases certain chemicals in the air. Its purpose is to neutralize the surrounding chemicals so that beings that came contact to it will not experience its effects. John lay down these systems because he probably thought that chemical attacks will inevitably happen in the laboratory.
EMS, after seeing the unknown chemicals being neutralized it then began to say,
"Are you experiencing any abnormal effects, sir?"
Robotic hands began to remove John’s protective suit as he replied,
“So far, there is none."
“Very well sir, I have observed the chemicals behaviour and saved it in the system.”
"Oooh! Another mystery!" He thought. He just cannot contain his excitement anymore. He then said,
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Quickly! Let's continue our talk in my office."
----------------------------------------
Inside this relatively large room which only includes a simple office desk. There was John who was sitting at the office chair, he then began to move his arms widely.
Afterwards, holographic screens began to appear, filling the space of the entire room. John then clapped his hands and the walls began to change, showing the wild forest that surrounds the laboratory.
John rested his head at both of his hands as he listened to EMS,
“Satellites, towers or any forms of communication have been cut off.”
John told EMS to communicate to the Malnotronics headquarters for emergency assistance as well as to see if the news ever mentioned of the moon being shattered.
As he heard this, John began to widen his eyes and said,
“No communication?!?”
“There is also no signs of our nearby Energy Generator.”
John also told Sarrie to investigate the current condition of the energy source. Fixing the energy source is very easy, you only need the blueprints and the robots needed to do the job done. But the generator missing is in and itself a very impossible thing to do.
The generator is an entire room filled with mechanisms that generate “infinite" energy. It is impossible to transfer the whole device in an hour. When EMS ordered the robots to investigate the supposed location of the room, the results are shocking; They have found nothing, all they saw was dirt and no traces of the room.
John then said,
"How can you explain this madness?"
"With my current capabilities, I can't do calculations."
John smiled and said,
“Oh, I know…” John looked at the holographic screen that indicates the remaining percentage of the reserved energy "ninety-nine per cent…" He thought. “EMS probably shut down most of the systems to make the consumption this slow…” He continued.
EMS then said,
"Our scout bots have already travelled around five kilometres and had not reached the outer gates of the estate."
John then suddenly stood up, the holographic screen displayed what the scout bots saw, and EMS then continued,
"Still, what we've found are unknown plants."
"And the fly-bots?"
The holographic screen at his front began to show a landscape of the entire forest, what he saw was lush green and a giant tree at the middle. It is a beautiful sight indeed when strange trees have been basked in the moonlight, But he ignored it and began to say,
"Are you telling me that the whole laboratory, which contains several floors, probably weighs like a million elephants and as large of 2 hectares has been suddenly transported?"
"I can't answer that..."
"Amazing truly amazing... Whoever has the power to do this is basically God." He thought. A power that can transport any objects no matter its size and weight can have an advantage to whoever defies him.
John sighed and touched his head. He then began to say,
"Someone needs to stop making me shiver in excitement!" he grinned. But he probably hoped that the surprises never end.
He then continued,
"It is truly disappointing that Sarrie isn't powered, we need her help to solve the impossible..." he stared blankly and continued,
"We need power."
John stared at the holographic screen and said,
“We need a reliable source of energy… Show me all of the options we have. Better yet, create a simulation on which reliable energy source we can create with the resources we currently have."
If they can connect and have the ability to contact, they would've probably called the energy supplier to give them energy right now. But judging from their situation, the only viable solution is to create one.
EMS replied,
“But sir, creating a simulation requires vast amounts of energy…”
“It’s a small price to pay for a reliable energy source.”
“I understand… Please wait for approximately 10 minutes."
