Chapter 1: The Mission
1
Children in bathing suits were having fun on the beach. They waved their hands in response and continued to have fun. The adults watched the children, bathing in tender sunny baths.
A sand beach stretching away into the distance. Crowds of people enjoying their rest by the sea. Seeing happy kids through her sungla.s.ses, Angela felt a sense of nostalgia. She has not been a child for a long time. Lying on the deckchair, her body emanated femininity, she was wearing a rather open bathing suit. Her hands were folded behind her head, under her graceful light hair. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were also mouth-watering. By her side was a table. On it stood a gla.s.s with a red drink.
”May I disturb you?”
Angela s.h.i.+fted her gla.s.ses and turned towards the source of the noise. In front of her was young guy with light dreadlocks. He was tanned, and a complete lack of taste was said by the golden chain around his neck and a bracelet.
Angela kept silent and the boy continued.
” You were at this location yesterday. The appearance is quite standard, but the amount of data embedded in it is amazing. A lot of memory is allocated on you.”
”You think?”
”I'm sure.”
Angela sighed. She chose this look precisely because she didn't want to stand out. And this guy seems to have immediately realized what's what. With this knowledge he could well be an engineer.
”You have an individual profile, you're from the privileged layer? Why do you need this public location? Couldn't you get your own private area?”
The guy leaned down to Angela's ear.
”Actually, my friend and I managed to get a private area. It is quiet there and a lot can be done. Want to come?”
Angela herself didn't realize, how she smiled sadly.
”Sorry, but I like to rest alone.”
”In this noise?” The guy was surprised.
”I like this beach.”
”Somehow that is not convincing. Given the volume of your data, you're here to show off.”
”I'm here because of work.”
”Work?”
At this moment the wave hardened. Time seemed to become static, the wave froze. It was as if everything moved on fast forward, then someone pressed the stop b.u.t.ton and everything turned into a storyboard. The entire beach zone up to the umbrellas, making up one common model began to flicker. Sounds became unclear. People started screaming, it was more like madness.
”What is this?”
The frightened guy also spun his head in all directions. The expression on Angela's face became even more serious. She forced herself to look around, calmly looking for the cause of this. It could have been thought that the anomaly ceased to spread, as a huge screen appeared in the sky.
”Residents of Diva, I ask for a minute of your attention”
It was a calming, not hostile voice. On the screen appeared an image of a myriad of stars from outer s.p.a.ce. The security system was silent, as the intruder continued speaking.
”My name is Pioneer. To open your path to new opportunities, I invaded your virtual s.p.a.ce.”
The children, playing on the beach, looked at the screen anxiously. The adults spoke loudly.
”Hey, again!”
”They say that there are hacks happening from Earth. Is this true?”
”Oh G.o.d, how scary.”
”It can not be. How could they have gotten here?”
”What is the security system doing? Quickly do something.”
The intruder, named Pioneer, continued speaking.
”After a lot of preparation a project was developed to study the habitable region of the spiral arm of Orion. I'm here to offer you undiscovered worlds, a chance to on a journey through the never ending universe in search of new forms of life.”
To hide his fear, the guy who stood beside Angela yelled:
”This is all because we are in an open location.”
He waited for an answer, but Angela just stood up silently.
She grabbed the gla.s.s from the table and spilled out the contents. The red liquid never touched the ground, transforming into an information screen and a sensor console. Surrounding Angela, they floated in mid-air. It was a workplace of the security service system.
Angela opened her mouth:
”Agent Code – ZQ875456, Angela Balzac. Based on the authority of the security officer, I ask you to authorize the management of the system.”
