Chapter 133: The Connector

Aldrich noted that though Seis in the way that he so very violently balled up his fist as he talked about punching a hole through Shrimp that made it very clear that within Seis of a 'proper' hero

But then again, as Aldrich deeply knew, there were so very few proper heroes out there anyway

"Good to see you all ready to fight, but before that, I need you to tell the Panopticon drone fleet to stand down," said Aldrich A good chunk of my forces are variants I've placed underthem

A rank heroes can directly order around Panopticon responses all the way up to class 2, can't they?" said Aldrich

Seismic nodded "Not exactly But I can force the drones to link h authority to submit direct requests"

Aldrich nodded

"Then we'll do that Up," he said, directing Crow to nition before he flapped his huge wings, sending Aldrich and Seis far up They reached the skies over the battlefield in seconds, and there, Aldrich got a glimpse of the Class 5 drone response

Thousands of Bugs were around the battle zone, firing their weapons and raining down their explosives on fishhtered the fishmen in droves, but the only reason these drones could do so much in the first place was because Aldrich had carved the way for them

Aldrich had taken out the storm

He had taken out all the air troops

He had disabled the sea anemones and wiped out the round capable of hitting airborne targets, and they were a pitiful anti airfish,storm

"Identifying…," A cold, deep, ed from a drone as it went up to Seis beam that washed over Seismic's face "A- class hero Seisistered

Disengaging weapons systems"

"Get me to a Connector Now" Said Seis to source Connector…," began the drone as its red eye turned green and started to blink rapidly, establishi+ng a connection

Connectors, as far as Aldrich are, were higher up Panopticon members that could direct and, if needed, manually operate drone responses

They operated in giant floating mechanical structures known as Pillars that acted as mobile factories and hubs from which Panopticon drones were stored and sent out

"Connector 443 linked Now transferring coreen glowing eye turned blue, indicating that a Connector had taken manual control over it

"Connector 443 here," came a tired woman's voice "Normally, I would listen to your request, A class hero Seis that we have no reinforceoing to get, and if you want , I' my attention with cleanup on the Neo-York attack

I'her fleet response-,"

"I don't care about reinforcements," said Seismic

"Oh, I see" The Connector's voice re Haven's been overrun already, then Do you need me to withdraw this response?"

"No Do your job and take a look at what's happening," said Seished "Fine I do have to listen to you A rankers anyhow Let's see…
