Chapter 121 Lennys Situation 1 (1/2)

A few light-years away from John and Peri...

A enormous building made of metal was silently standing in the nothingness of the outer space, surrounded by nothing but little dots of lights in the distance.

But there was something wrong with this space station.

Around it, multiples small ships could be seen.

These ships were all Condor-class spacecrafts. The ship's were all colored pitch black and had no other mark or anything that could show it's origin, owner or organization it belong.

The inside of the Space Station was beautifully built in the most simplistic way possible to maximize utility rather than beauty.

Long white corridor with enough light to illuminated the whole place.

Uncountable rooms that were bedrooms and also various types of room made specifically for scientific use, such as the laboratories.

The energy cost to maintain such enormous building was very high, that's why it wasn't powered using Core Fragments, but rather with Erchius Crystals.

It was very expensive to power the Space Station with Erchius Crystals, but the Independent Scientific Union (ISU) had more than enough money to operate more than ten of such stations across the known universe.

How they earn such amount of money?

It's simple, they develop and research new technologies to all governments and organizations.

But they never touch the subject of militaristic use of their technology. They remain neutral in conflicts and had set their goal as the betterment of the universe.

That's why they are funded by everyone, but the technology develop and researched by them would be publicly available, and not belonging to one group or another.

Although their policies make some people unhappy, they had no other choice than bitterly accept how ISU deal with it because ISU was in the forefront in scientific discoveries, even further than Letheia Corporation and Miniknog.

Letheia Corporation didn't see the need to destroy such organization since it doesn't meddle in worldly affairs.

But Miniknog saw ISU differently.

Most of the scientist from the ISU were Apexes that fled from Big Ape's dictatorship. For the Miniknog, the ISU was only a bunch of rebels that needed to be eliminated...

...

Inside the ISU's Stationary Space Station:

Alarms could be heard all around the station as the previously bustling corridors were now empty and illuminated only by the red emergency lights in the ceiling.

Corpses from all races were lying lifeless in the cold, metallic white floor. A pool of crimson blood beneath them drenched their clothes and body with the sticky and thick liquid.

In one specific room, there was three people hiding behind a lab table that had all kinds of of glass containers with unknown liquids in them.

One of the people was a yellow Novakid with an ”Omega” brand on his face.

He was wearing leather leggings with metal pads on knee section, a simple white shirt covered by a leather coat, a cowboy hat and a red scarf on his neck.

On his hands, two weapons gracefully made with a dark, bluish metal. They looked like a piece of art, but of course, a lot more deadly than one.

On his back he had another weapon hanging out from a string. It was a shotgun, the one he took from Oscar.

The Novakid was Lenny.
