Computer Specialist: “Ok, let’s do some test run!”
A window panel appears on the monitor. It looks like a MsDOS; white borders with pitch black backgrounds. In the top left corner, a phrase appeared saying “Enter a number: ”
Computer Specialist: “YES!! Finally it works! HAHAHA!.....I’m going to type a number and please, just generate a random RANDOM! Number. I don’t like scripted ok!....Let’s try…. 57…….”
Number 57 was attached to the phrase then he press enter.
Computer Specialist: “WOAH!! 594! Hmmm not bad. Let’s retry.”
He terminated the window panel restart again the program.
Computer Specialist: “Hmmm 57…then Enter.”
The Enter button on the keyboard clicked loud.
Computer Specialist: “WHAAA!! Its 219! It’s random HAHAHA! Finally, I’ve done it!”
He celebrates his success so loudly making his voice to reach the corridors and nearby quarters. General Torres and Jerome walking on the same corridor and heard the voice.
General Torres: “Hmmp? That must be Sergeant.”
Torres faced to the second door on his left predicting the sergeant was there. He walks boldly towards it and knock gently.
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
Sergeant still celebrating his success ignoring all disturbance around him.
Sergeant: “I am the great! Great, great, great Henry! Best hacker of all time!”
Torres replied to him. He changes his voice and mimic his supervisor’s.
General Torres: “Great huh? Great hacker? So that was your true motive you scumbag! You are under arrest! You have nowhere to run now!”
Sergeant Henry: “Wait what? Oh no no no, there is some misunderstand here. I’ll just explain the situation and I am so sorry I — ”
Sergeant slowly walk outside the room begging for his life.
Sergeant Henry: “HEHEHE great day Sir! I’m so…. Sir!?”
He surprised what he saw. He is so frightened thinking that his supervisor will deport him on the deadly depths of void. His limbs were shaking, his eyes were wet of tears, his hands were uncomfortable rubbing them towards each other but when he saw Torres…
General Torres: “Your so used in slacking. Such a pathetic way of life as a man. You are so shameful Henry as always. And be thankful coz I’m the one who discovered you here first and not your supervisor or else….”
Sergeant Henry: “You’ve giving me chills of death Sir! WHOOOO I thought that its my end now. Thank you, Sir!”
General Torres: “Sure, I can give your death sentence now. General Feltzer was only there on the other corridor. Do you want me to him for you?”
Sergeant Torres: “NO NO NO NO! I’ve just completed one of my goal right now. I don’t wanna die right now so please Sir! Save me!”
General Torres: “Save you? Ha, save your own ass! HAHAHAHA. I’mma call him now.”
Sergeant pulled General Torres backward preventing him to walk towards General Feltzer. Torres ridiculously smile and laughing from the inside while he jokes his friend.
Sergeant Henry: “No sir please no! Have mercy to a poor like me!”
General Torres: “No, you must be eliminated right now. Imposter!!! Amogus!”
Sergeant Henry: “Then so be it! Report me or whatever. I’ll just hack your bank account at once and flee from this thrash place.”
General Torres: “HAHAHA you're so funny! Then claim my 25 cents there and a paper clip. HAHAHA. I’ve just transfer it to my new bank account bro coz I know that this will happen.”
General Torres give Henry a heavy smack on head after drawing his last words.
Sergeant Henry: “Man! That hurts! If my brain suffers to a damage, pay for may treatment!”
General Torres: “Just who are you to say such things to me like that. You deserve it! Yeah, I respect you for being a tech expert I just annoyed at your acts of foolishness. Maybe I need to smack you harder again to make sure your head will do a hard reset.”
Sergeant Henry: “Hey, don’t touch my baby!”
General Torres: “HAHAHAHAHA!”
Sergeant Henry: “Anyways, what would be our business here Sir?”
General Torres: “We are going to a long journey. I need your expertise to make sure we will make there in time. I’ve already said this to General Feltzer that I will kidnap you right here and right now to serve my fleet.”
Sergeant Henry: “Is this related to president’s order?”
General Torres: “Yes, and personally, I want to reach that sector of Revenants they’ve saying.”
Sergeant Henry: “What’s its name again? Uhmm Lepon, Leiron, Liegon…”
General Torres: “Lendron”
Sergeant Henry: “Oh yes, Lendron. Right. Wait…Is that the…”
General Torres: “Shoots, alright, come inside. I wan’t you to brief shortly about this.”
General Torres: “Just make it quick. We will depart minutes from now.”
Sergeant Henry: “Sure, Sure.”
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Henry sat on his soft office chair and faced the computer. Grabbed the keyboard and start typing. He type fast as lightning, one sign that he is a true computer expert. After entering series of prompt, a huge window popped out on the monitor. It was the sector map of United Imperium with extra maps from nearby neutral sectors.
Sergeant Henry: “So let’s see. Here here we are in our Association’s main sector Honorado, lies at the western side of our mighty Imperium’s main sector. Oh before we proceed, I must introduce to you some terms astronomical terms in order to catch me. Is it good?
General Torres: “If it is for the sake of our movement accuracy and success rate, then go forward.”
Sergeant Henry: “Good!”
Sergeant Henry clicked the legend tabs at the lowest right corner of the monitor then a window filled with labels, terminologies, graphical information and examples popped out on the screen.
Sergeant Henry: “So, first thing you must notice is that the measurement that we will be used in our journey is based on light speed. You know metric system right? I know you know it since you are one of our mighty generals. Metric system used decimal system to measure distances from one point to other point. The most known smallest measurement is millimeter. It’s distance is smaller than 1/3 of your baby finger. However, the most known biggest measurement that we use in this system is kilometer which is used to measure large distance such as distance from your city to another nearby city. But here in the void, it is too to big to use kilometers to measure the distance from Martumbre to Igneous right? It may take million or billion kilometers and that is not practical anymore. So, our research team of the Imperium and the Xenophilium Academy of the Consortium made a deal of using of Aurion measurement system. It’s value was derived from the speed of light which is 299 milllion meters per second and bloat it to 300 million meters per second since the existence of Kyros Crystal, which is the light crystal, were scattered throughout the universe makes the power of light travel increased a bit.”
General Torres: “Ohh so that’s why when I turned on of the lights, I felt some strange striking feeling.”
Sergeant Henry: “Correct sir, and it will continuously increase bit by bit as long as Kyros Crystal exists. So our dearest researchers came to a solution to tweak some measurement in advance in order for us to adapt our travel speed in time for a long period of time. It is said that it will be bloated once again numerous years from now. So back to the topic…”
Sergeant Henry clears his throat.
Sergeant Henry:” So here we are now. We are using the Aurion measurement system. 1 Aurion will be 300 thousand kilometers. “
General Torres: “Wait what? You just said that it is 300 million.”
Sergeant: “Exactly! 300 million meters is equivalent to 300 thousand kilometers. To convert meters to kilometer is to divide the given into 1000 units. I’ve know that this point will come. Stay focused Sir HAHAHA.”
General Torres: “Alright, keep going.”
Sergeant Torres: “Stellar systems or star systems are composed with planets, asteroids and star/s . And you see, Stellar systems were still too big to measure with just 300 thousand kilometers. So our researchers find a way to increment the measurement system more in order to measure the distance of planets in a practical way which can also be easily transferred into layman terms. They’ve notice that all the celestial bodies were moving away from the center of the space and it can be easily observed by naked eye compared to last centuries. And they discovered that the rate of distance increment of one celestial body to another celestial body was perfectly proportional to its rate of movement away from the center of universe. So they’ve decided to switch the Aurion into celestial based distance measurement and refer significant celestial bodies in this measurement. This is not meant to be used right now until the next couple of centuries but this is still applicable. The new references was added into Aurion measument system. The measurements are the following.”
1 Light = 299,792,458 meters
1 Aurion = 300 thousand kilometers (Planetary Man-made Satellite Level; Planet GPS)
1 Staurion = 362,600 kilometers (Celestial Satellite Level; Moon)
1 Tresaurion = 500 thousand kilometers (Planetary Sovereignty / Territory Level)
1 Revaurion = 150 million kilometers (End of inner stellar sector; Mars)
1 Ohaurion = 750 million kilometers = 5 Revaurion (Start of Stellar Jovian Sector; Jupiter)
1 Neaurion = 3 billion kilometers = 4 Ohaurion (Stellar Outskirt Sector; Uranus)
1 Estaurion = 300 billion kilometers = 100 Neaurion (Stellar Diameter; Solar System)
1 Senaurion = 9 trillion kilometers = 30 Estaurion (Light years)
General Torres: “Hmmm I’m starting to see some patterns here. Wait, let me think for a while.”
Sergeant Henry: “Ohh, so you’ve noticed it as well Sir! Well done.”
General Torres: “Is this related to Tesla Theorem?”
Sergeant Henry: “Yes Sir! Supposedly that this Aurion measurement system is designed based on our metric system and they are all expected to be divisible by 10. But it turns out that they are divisible by 3, 6, 9 or they have patterns with the said numbers.”
General Torres: “In my perspective, it is not just a coincidence. It is must be done and it is the rules of the universe. Tesla once said that if you only knew the magnificence of 3, 6 and 9 then you would have a key to the universe.”
Sergeant Henry was suddenly silenced himself because of his fascination to General’s short speech.
Sergeant Henry: “Sir, you know what? Let us leave that to our scientists. We have no rights to establish such theory even you have intelligence backed on your mind. Like me, I have expertise to computers and I’ve also discovered such anomalies which turns out be logical to exist somehow but I don’t claim that. Let the researchers do their job. If they don’t discovered it by themselves, then there are only 2 possible why; it’s either we are way more intelligent than them or they are just dumb to know this.”
The two silenced for seconds and start smiling and laugh at each other.
General Torres: “HAHAHAHA! You got me there but you have the point.”
Sergeant Henry: “So let’s continue but before we proceed, let me borrow your holophone.”
General Torres picked his holophone on his pocket and give it to Sergeant. It was a like a donut shape with circular lines around that emits gloomy light. At the center, there are series of layers circular light shooters like a series of projector.
General Torres: “Here Sergeant.”
Sergeant Henry: “Thank you Sir!”
Sergeant placed the holophone on the free space on his computer table, lower left side of the monitor. He tapped ones the center like he pressing something on the center of the micro projectors. Suddenly the projectors opened and shoot series of lasers upwards. After couple of seconds, lasers were stopped a while for shooting intervals that results to display a visual pattern just centimeters above the micro projectors.
Sergeant Henry: “Alright initialization complete. Next, we must connect your holophone to my computer in order to access our Communication Main Directory by using your IP address.”
General Torres: “Sounds like a plan but what is actually your plan?”
Sergeant Henry: “Let say we have user1, I will use your IP address to on our Communication Directory to search other IP address by tracing your recent communication with them. If I’ve traced that the IP address of the one you’ve contact had access to other officials, then I will name him as user1. I will jump from your IP address to user1’s IP address and repeat the pattern on his recent communication log in order to search valuable information. All of us officers use this technique in order to regulate the flow of communications throughout our Imperium. If we’ve detected suspicious messages, we can trace his location instantly and ask for investigator’s help. We also do this to retrieve special information that our Imperium holds. We are the only one who have permission to do this procedure so all of your information was only limited for our eyes only so it is safe. The actual plan is to retrieve enough information from public announcements that have been aired throughout out Imperium and act accordingly. Everything must be precise and accurate so that no materials will be gone for nothing and reach our goal in the most efficient way. In short, we must move according in 3, 6, or 9.”
General Torres: “Hey, you said that it we have no rights to establish such theory? Then why you act trough it?”
Sergeant Henry: “Yes we have no rights to establish such theory but there is no rules how will you live your live. It is your decision how will you drive yourself way out towards your objective. It doesn’t matter what is reference to act with, where it cam from, who create such idea. As long as it gives you beautiful results and you don’t cross or violate any types of law, then you are free to take advantage of it.”
General Torres: “You know? That’s why I like you to be one of my fleet on this operation. Your so damn clever man and I like to team up with people like you.”
Sergeant Henry: “Thank you Sir! Much appreciated.”
