"What's the status of the Arconic Reactor?" A man whose face was covered by a primate mask, wearing a long white robe lined with golden fabric asked the figure standing beside him.

"The reactors are working as Intended Chairman-sama, and we will be now testing the hydraulic reactors and deduce if they are compatible with the nuclear and magma reactors."The figure said who could be now seen wearing a similar white-cloured robe, lined with golden fabric and a similar primate mask.

"Is that so, this airship will prove to be a valuable asset to us in the future against our fight against the Klaxosaurs and the Savages. This airship will signify the dominance of humanity in the future" The one referred to as the Chairman said in delight.

"It's as you say Chairman-sama." The other robed figure said after which he started observing the large hologram in front of them which depicted the status of the airship.

They were currently present inside the airship AZAROTH which was created and sponsored by APE to enhance their arsenal against Humanity's enemy which were threatening to wipe out humanity.

Monsters known as Klaxosaurs and Savages had started appearing in different parts of the world. While the klaxosaurs were believed to have come from the depth of the earth, Savages were believed to have been brought to the planet by a meteor which crashed into the South Pole two or three decades ago which to the misfortune of Humanity also brought a virus because of which a large part of humanity lost their life as the medical technology at that time couldn't cure the virus, but on the other hand, those who survived the Virus were able to wield Hyper-Armours called Hundred and thus Humanity gained another force to repel against the Klaxosaurs and the Savages who had made their appearance.

Though the loses were tremendous, there were some gains too. As it was discovered the remains of the Savages could be used for many purposes and for making various Hyper-Armours too.

"Chairman-sama, we have picked up vital energy signals100 miles towards the North-East direction floating in the air, and it's most probably from a living being. What are your orders?" The other robed figure said as he turned off the communicator placed near his ear which was connected to the airships control room.

"How can there be a living being floating in the air at this place? Didn't we seal the whole aerospace of this region and are you sure it isn't a Klaxosaur?" He said to the other robed figure because Klaxosaurs also emit Signals which are quite similar to the ones that humans emit and it's quite easy to get confused between them while discerning vital energy signals.

"We have confirmed that it's a human using the magma-ray Satellite and there is 0% chance of it being false." The robed figure said confidently.

"In that case dispatch an Interceptor-Drone to retrieve the person and bring him to the interrogation room." The one referred to as the Chairman or PAPA as the masses referred to him said.

"It shall be done Chairman-sama." The robed figure said as he commanded the control room of the airship to send an Interceptor-Drone and retrieve the person using the communicator present near his ear.

After which another hologram erupted in the room alongside the one which showed the airships status. This one showed the Intercepter-Drone's view with the help of the various cameras which were installed near its cockpit. And you could see the Interceptor-Drone accelerating to its top speed and deploying the energy shield installed on it to reduce the air pressure and drag causing it to accelerate even faster and reach its top speed in a short amount of time.

After 10 minutes of flying at a speed of 621 miles per hour, the Intercepter-Drone had reached its target and had found a small child of about 3 years old curled up to protect itself against the winter cold. The Intercepter-Drone then extended its mechanical arm to grasp the small child and gently placed it inside its cockpit. After which it was commanded to return to the airship

"That was an unexpected situation. The child seemed to be propelled to the air using mana but I have never seen such type of magic before. The mana was flowing in a completely chaotic yet strangely harmonic manner." PAPA said while looking at the child inside the Intercepter-Drones cockpit through a camera stationed there.

"What are your instructions now Chairman-sama?" The other robed figure asked.

"Take the child to the Medbay when the Intercepter-Drone returns to the ship and inspect if his vitals are alright and if he has suffered any vital injury to his veins which may be the cause of the strange mana flow." He said to the other robed figure.

"I will tell them to make the necessary preparations at once Chairman-sama and I will oversee it myself." The robed figure said as it disappeared into the shadows leaving PAPA alone.

Now you could see the robed figure walking through an excessively illuminated passage near the core of the airship and all of a sudden he halted and made his way through one of the doors and reached a room where some people were tinkering with some vessels and many instruments could be seen installed around the room. From these things alone one could tell the people present here were some kind of researcher.

When the people inside the room saw the robed figure they approached him and knelt in front of him.

"What do you require from us Lemur-sama." A researcher who was near the robed figure now identified as Lemur asked him.

"Prepare the Medbay and the Magma Detector. You would have to give us a full body report including the vital signs, the mana level, the infection level if there Is any regarding a patient who will be brought here shortly. Spare no effort and find out anything you can about him and if there are any injuries heal them at any costs." Lemur said to the researchers who just nodded and some of them had already started preparing the instruments.

Shortly after which the Intercepter-Drone returned to the ship and a team of researchers were sent to retrieve the child and bring him to the Medbay where the one referred to as Lemur was present.

"Are the preparations complete?" Lemur asked the researchers who nodded

"We can start anytime you want us to Lemur-sama. The instruments have all been powered up." A researcher said.

"I understand. Bring the patient to Medbay-6738 the preparations are complete" Lemur said to the communicator. After which a team of researchers entered the room carrying a boy in a stretcher. The boy had silver hair with some green streaks which extended till his waist, his skin was pale in complexion and he seemed to be in deep sleep.

"Commence the examination." Lemur said following which the researchers controlling the stretcher placed the boy under the Magma Detector. Then a researcher attached the boy to the M-XC5 which scales the mana present inside the body and displays it in a graphical form.

After about 3hrs of experimenting and inspection, the researchers finally finished creating the data which recorded the specifications of the boy present in question and a shocking discovery was made.

"Chairman-sama we have finished examining the boy and the results are as follows." Lemur said while standing beside PAPA as he opened a hologram and operated on it to show the child stats. But what they both saw gave them a shock of their lifetime.

Name-???

Nationality-???

Race-???

Age-???

Gender-???

Danger Level-CODE ZERO

MANA-???

VIT-???

DEX-???

STR-???

INT-???

"Is there an Error? What are these stats?" PAPA asked Lemur who was shocked himself as he was also seeing the boy's stats for the first time but was brought out of it when he heard PAPA's voice.

"The stats are absolutely correct Chairman-sama as I myself had overseen the examination and I can assure you that these stats were verified at least 20 times before being recorded and the only explanation behind these extraordinary stats is that the boy's stats couldn't be measured by our current technology." Lemur said as he contacted the command room to assemble all the people involved in retrieving the boy

"If that is so then we must ascertain if the boy is a foe or an ally in this war for humanity's survival." He said as he knew that the technology available in this ship Is the highest technology available to humanity which is even capable of ascertaining the stats of Super-Lehmannn class Klaxosaur and that can only mean that this child is stronger than a Super-Lehmann class Klaxosaur

"We have a problem regarding that Chairman-sama, as we can't ascertain if the child is an ally or a foe currently." Lemur said

"And why is that?"

"The boy is in a deep coma and we can't wake him up by using any method." Lemur said

"Huh" was the only thing that PAPA could say at this point

SPECIAL CONDITION-IN A DEEP COMA AND CAN'T BE WOKEN UP
