Hafa Time: September 17, 2018.
At this time, six Earth days have passed since the reconnaissance team led by William came into contact with the anomaly code-named "Shadow".
After receiving the instructions, the military engineering department in the suburbs of Hafa began mass production of Silver Ammunition, and Athena led a frigate of First Fleet for transportation.
The frigate arrived in low-Earth orbit Kepler 22-b on September 14 and transported Silver Ammunition for ground troops.
Athena, as a person who needs to participate in the war, was ordered by William to stay in the mobile base station and wait for Containment Operation who will soon participate together.
The frigate responsible for transporting ammunition made another jump jump on September 15 and returned to First Fleet stationed at Solar System.
From the 11th to the 17th, Engineering Team, to which Fleet Zero belongs, was not idle either.
Engineering Team dismantled four Pelicans and a large number of Warthog, passed through the relatively narrow tunnel of the boundary gate, and came to the planet considered to be a desert for reorganization.
At the same time, Engineering Team will also dismantle three Assault MS and one special-purpose MS and transport them to Desert Planet for reassembly.
This is one of the reasons why the William has not yet been issued to the Containment Operation even though it has been three days since the ammunition arrived.
Location: 'Desert Planet'.
At this time, the pyramid with the gate exit and about to be swallowed by the yellow sand had been transformed beyond recognition by Umbrella Engineering Team.
Engineering Team used their unique 'stunts' to simply transform the nearby landscape and build a mobile base station surrounding half of the pyramid.
Inside the base station are the assembled Pelican, Warthog and four mobile suits, as well as several simple buildings for combat personnel to garrison and rest.
In the combat conference room of the mobile base station;
Dozens of lieutenants, Colonel Grade Officers, Sparta Blue Team, and the specially invited Athena wearing Umbrella uniforms were sitting on folding chairs, following the next combat instructions.
As the boss, William, and his secretary and assistant Serena, stood at the front of the combat conference room.
Although this mobile base station is too simple compared to other bases, it is still equipped with necessary equipment, such as the Holographic Imaging device.
A planet emitting a faint yellow light was imaged, 'suspended' in the war conference room.
Serena waved his hand towards the planet and explained, "After the launch of four Pelicans for reconnaissance, we found that the boundary we are on is still a Earth-like Planet.
It is located in the habitable zone of the star system, with an ocean area of about 64%, a large amount of algae that produces oxygen, and a large area of rainforest landforms on the southern continent.
As for the star system it is located in, it is not within Milky Way Galaxy, it belongs to Extragalactic System, and is a location that Warp Engine cannot reach."
As he spoke, the image of the rotating planet stagnated and focused on the large desert area of Northern Hemisphere. Among them, Green Dot marked by Serena was the area where they were located.
The area outlined in black on the south side of Green Dot is exactly Abandoned City that the reconnaissance team entered before.
Continuing to look to the south, you will see an area indicated in red.
"Everyone, after the Pelican scanned and investigated the entire planet, it discovered a...'building' that was obviously an anomaly.
Please take a look."
Holographic Imaging gathered and enlarged the Red Area, and finally showed another abandoned city.
In the very center of the city, there is a group of 'Flesh Mass' occupying nearly one third of the city.
This is why when Serena said the word "building", his facial expression felt a little uncomfortable.
Through the reconnaissance equipment carried by the Pelican, one can clearly see the street scene in the city, as well as what exactly "Flesh Mass" is.
I saw a large number of 'shadows' gathering in the city, seemingly wandering aimlessly.
Of course, there are many 'human beings' in tattered clothes, who are dragged by these shadows towards the giant 'Flesh Mass'.
The following humans were pressed to the ground by a large number of shadows, and then, the shadows took out the hearts of those people out of thin air.
It was taken out of thin air, without cutting into the person's chest or digging out with brute force. It was completely taken out of thin air.
The heart was thrown into the 'Flesh Mass' by the shadow, absorbed and fused.
While the shadows were taking out those human hearts, 'Flesh Mass' was still producing new shadows.
It seems that just as William guessed, this abnormal phenomenon is somewhat similar to SCP1983, using the heart and light to reproduce.
Despite seeing such a scene that is difficult for ordinary people to understand and endure, the facial expressions of the officers present, Sparta and Goddess, showed almost no fluctuation.
Because they had more or less guessed that the giant 'Flesh Mass' was the source of the abnormal phenomenon.
Then just destroy the source.
This is the first thought of everyone here
Playing the complete video file, Serena continued to say:
"According to the information provided by the boss and the doctor, destroying the giant Flesh Mass will completely eradicate this abnormal phenomenon.
All of you here are elites in the company and have beliefs that ordinary people don't have, so...
(Looking at Athena sitting in the back)
Therefore, one of the first conditions for combat is to pray devoutly to Athena in your heart, so that you can kill the 'Shadow'."
Everyone nodded silently.
For most people, this condition is very simple.
It may be difficult to make them resemble an illusory god, but Athena, who is also a god, is sitting behind them alive and is also a 'colleague'.
Immediately afterwards, Serena took out a Spike Rounds from her military uniform pocket and said:
"Due to the characteristics of these abnormal phenomena, only physical ammunition made of silver can be used to effectively kill those shadows.
Therefore, it is not recommended that you use plasma and Beam Weapon."
Having said this, Serena Vision glanced at everyone and said, "Are there any questions?"
"Yes." A lieutenant colonel looked at the A4 Computer in his hand and asked:
"Our ground forces are responsible for containing those 'shadows' and trying to rescue the indigenous inhabitants of this planet as much as possible. So what is the source of the abnormal phenomenon?"
"You don't have to worry about this." William, who had not spoken until now, answered the lieutenant colonel's question for Serena:
"I have been on standby these days just to allow Engineering Team to assemble and deploy the MS.
So the source of that thing will be solved by me and the blue team driving the MS and Goddess Athena. You just need to ensure the safety of the natives as much as possible.
Any more questions?"
"..." Everyone shook their heads.
"Very good, now pass the order to your subordinates and prepare for action in half an hour."
"Yes." All the officers stood up and saluted, and then left the combat conference room.
John also led Karl and Mylon to leave the combat conference room and change into the combat uniform of driving Assault MS.
