Allysa Barness
In a Vepr Commander, Evan was escorted to the place of his meeting with the Prime Minister. After 15 minutes of driving towards the forest west of the Laboratory, they arrived in the middle of a vast and foggy forest, then Evan saw an elevator gate made of black steel that was connected to the ground. Before opening the gate with a scan card the driver stopped the vehicle for a long time.
"Where will you take me to go? And why do we stop here? " Evan's question to the military personnel in front of him
"The receptionist should have told you, but that's okay. Let me explain, we're going to the secret laboratory, which is quite far from the Main Laboratory. And we are waiting for one more guest who will join you. "The driver answered Evan's question without looking at Evan
"And this is a forest area belonging to the military and it only has one exit and entry route because it is surrounded by a bottomless ravine so not just anyone can enter here." The bodyguard explained while turning his head and looking at Evan.
After 15 minutes, suddenly from behind came a white sedan. From the back door of the sedan, a woman with long brown hair, blue eyes, and a formal dress in Dongker's blue blazer and Dongker's blue trousers walked to the left of the car Evan was riding.
"Just go in, Miss Barness" It was as if the driver already knew who the woman had just arrived and immediately informed the woman who approached him through the window door.
Evan, who was sitting in the back seat on the left, immediately shifted to the right to invite the woman to sit.
Then they got into the elevator. It didn't take long for them to reach the main door of the underground secret laboratory, then Evan and Miss Barness went down in front of the secret laboratory. After they entered the lobby, the Prime Minister came to greet us.
"Welcome, Prof. Evan Allen and Miss Allysa Barness. Looks like you guys already know each other. " The prime minister's warm greeting to his newly arrived guest.
"Not yet, I just met in front of the elevator door." Evan calmly answered the Prime Minister's question
"Let me introduce you, Prof. Evan, this beautiful lady is Allysa Barness, a student with the title of best graduate 2 years ago at the favorite university in Oskal. " Prime Minister tapped Allysa on the shoulder and introduced himself.
"And Miss Barness she is Professor Evan, of whom I spoke earlier. His expertise in technology is extraordinary right? From now on you will work together to create artificial intelligence. "
While walking and holding Evan and Allsya's shoulders, the Prime Minister invited them both to take the elevator to the 3rd floor to a room in the middle of the Laboratory.
After finishing his tour, the Prime Minister opened the electron tube made of metal, glass, and ceramic embedded in the table and took out a microchip.
"This is a failed product left over from previous research." While showing the black microchip and silver geometric pattern with his two fingers.
The prime minister loaned the microchip to Evan to research and study the concept. Allysa just watched and listened without saying a word. After Evan understood the algorithm, materials, and programming, the Prime Minister put the microchip back into the electron tube and he left the Laboratory room.
Evan shares the task with Allysa, for Allysa is given the job of preparing to manufacture the Microchip chassis. And others were done by Evan himself.
"Your name is Miss Barness, right? you seem to already understand this job. " Evan asked Allysa to start a light conversation.
"Yes, that's right Prof. because I am used to jobs like this, "replied Allysa while preparing the materials to make the microchip chassis.
"No wonder you can quickly finish your studies at the university, at the age of 24 you already have the title of Professor" Evan praised Allysa's performance which he considered very good.
"You praise me too much Professor, I am nothing compared to you who invented the Electrical Hoist and Amplifier System in a military vehicle at the age of 23." Allysa returned Evan's compliment with a flushed face
"Why were you asked by the Prime Minister to join in on this project?" Evan's hand as he continued to type programs on the keyboard.
"Yes, because in the past during the failed Microchip Making project, I was one of his assistants. When the Prime Minister asked to become Assistant Professor Evan, I immediately accepted it. " By hand Allysa combines the materials for the Microchip chassis.
"Have the Prime Minister contacted your former colleagues to join the Artificial Intelligence Project?" Evan's hand was still fast typing the program.
"At first I thought, if the researchers had previously been contacted by the Prime Minister, it turns out that I was the only one who arrived at the entrance gate to this secret laboratory." Allysa put the materials for the Microchip chassis into the printing machine.
Because Evan with a very professional job, and his mind is full of programming formulas, he doesn't really understand Allysa's explanation.
After 9 hours of work Programming & the chip, chassis is complete and ready to install. The microchip's chassis is placed in the installation machine with a glass side, so we can see the installation process.
Evan noticed an unnatural base material was used on the Microchip while the installation was being carried out.
'Aen? What material code is this! 'A code Evan had never used and seen before. Then immediately checked Allysa's desk
"Miss Barnes, what kind of thing are you adding to this?" While showing an empty container, beyond the orders Evan gave to Allysa.
"That's the main material used when a project that was once developed, the name is Aenontite." Allysa explained the material Evan meant without knowing the origin of the material Allysa mixed into the Microchip chassis
"I thought Aenontite was just a myth. This material is very dangerous when used in combat machines. Imagine a fighting machine with Intelligence capable of increasing attack power 50 times. so it is highly unlikely that this project will be used in the industrial sector." Evan explained the impact that Aenontite could have and knew the Prime Minister's true intentions.
"But why does the Professor know it's a dangerous substance?" Allysa is increasingly curious about Aenontite
"Aenontite is a rock that comes from the Aenon meteor which fell 200 years ago with a diameter of 20 cm. Because of its existence, all countries in the world fight for it to have the meteorite because they know the potential opportunity if it is used in the military field, even though at that time they were not able to process it. To end chaos to the world, all countries agreed to destroy it without a trace. " Evan explains the origin of Aenontite and why its existence is so dangerous.
* Installation Complete *
the sound of the installation engine which indicates the install process is complete.
"Come on, let's get out of here, Miss Barness. Looks like we've been framed, it will be dangerous if we continue here. " While carrying the Aenontite Chip that has been installed and putting it in the portable case.
The Prime Minister actually continues to monitor Evan and Allysa from afar via hidden CCTV in the laboratory room. Then ordered his troops to arrest Evan and Allysa because they suspected they would take away the Aenontite Chip that Evan had made after seeing his movements.
Then Evan and Allysa ran towards the elevator doors. From a distance, Evan saw military troops with combat weapons enter the lobby of this secret laboratory.
"Damn, looks like we've been under constant surveillance since we entered this laboratory." Evan ran around from the lift, with his right hand holding Allysa's left hand.
"Is there an air duct in here?" As he continued running, Evan asked Allysa the most logical escape route to get him out of here.
Evan and Allysa escape through the air duct, which leads to the forest above the secret laboratory. The forest is wide, foggy. It was late in the day, and vile voices, caused by birds and insects, resounded in the air.
Evan and Allysa's escape stopped at the edge of a high cliff where the bottom could not be seen. They hid behind a tree. Evan was hit by gunshot wounds to his right upper arm and left thigh because he was protecting Allysa who had fallen.
"Thank God you're okay." It could be seen from the look on Evan's face that he was enduring the pain, and his left hand was holding his right arm which was bleeding.
"I'm sorry Professor because of my mistake you suffer." Allysa felt guilty. Then Allysa immediately opened her blazer and tore it with the help of a sharp stone into a length of length cloth to stop Evan's bleeding.
Shortly thereafter the Military Troops came closer towards our hideout from the left. Realizing it, Allysa asks to take turns holding the Case Portable which contains the Aenontite Chip, and Allysa helps Evan walk towards the right of the cliff.
Evan and Allysa's attempt to escape was unsuccessful, Evan, who had difficulty walking, made it difficult for them to aim. The troops were approaching and heard the sound of cars and helicopters looking for them. Looks like this is the end of their escape.
"You better leave me here and you run with the Aenontite Chip."
Evan's vision that began to blur gave an escape option to Allysa, who was helping Evan walk with Evan's left hand behind Allysa's head.
"It will be very dangerous if you get caught by Professor, maybe you will be forced to give up your life to remake this Chip. Maybe this is a selfish request but I want you to be safe, professor. You have saved me let me return the favor "
Allysa exchanged the Aenontite Chip in the Portable Case with the failed product Microchip she took before running from the secret laboratory and put the Aenontite Chip in Evan's pocket. And carry a portable case
Evan didn't know what object Allysa put in his pocket. Then Allysa pushed Evan into the bottomless Abyss, wishing Evan Happy.
"I'm sorry, Professor. Hope you are safe. " Allysa then ran in the opposite direction from her escape path.
From Evan's view, he only saw Allysa running on the edge of the cliff by raising her right hand that carried the Portable Case, indicating that she was carrying what the Military Forces wanted. Evan who fell off the cliff saw less and less of what was happening and only heard the crash of bullets.
His anger showed on his face for not being able to help Allysa Barness, before his consciousness completely disappeared, a light that came from his pocket shone very brightly. That fateful night will be the end of Evan's story to welcome the new life that will come afterward.
