Chapter 36: Match Fight Arena (2)

"Sir!" Second Lieutenant Caswell, Special Officer Hawkins's assistant, came bursting into his office.

"Report?" Hawkins replied looking up from his work.

Caswell then stood in attention while issuing the report. "Sir, one of our Fly Drones that was sent to monitor the Mad Dogs Arena, picked up some vocal cues that we had queued to alert us for. The drone discovered that one of the contenders is being called Queen."

"Excellent! Is the drone’s operator following up on this? Do we have a visual?" Hawkins replied jumping up from his seat and he brushed past Caswell, who followed close behind him.

"Yes Sir. Intelligence Operator (IO) Gill is in position now.” Caswell replied. Then motioning to the main screen of the control room he continued, “His drone's feed is playing on the main screen as we speak. He has already positioned the drone in an advantageous place too, so we should catch everything.”
