Sword

Elizabeth nudged him and said, "You are not much a poker player you know?"

Harry stopped and looked at Elizabeth with a confused expression "What do you mean by that?"

Elizabeth pointed to his face, "Your face shows a lot of emotion. Whatever you thinking it's bothering you"

Harry smiled and nodded and kept moving "It's not much left to get to the lab. We can get some rest there, we need it"

# Mr. Kowalski you have entered the security cameras area of coverage. Ten meters straight and turn to the left enter the second door from your right

"Is there anything we should know about Emmy?"

# Nothing in particular at the moment. No movement was detected in this area. 'Abnormal' or otherwise

A few minutes later they were in front of Equipment Lab D5 "We only went one floor down and walked about a kilometer but I feel like I've been walking for a week. The interesting thing is I'm not at all tired physically but I need a spiritual rest" said Harry

Elizabeth shrugged and said, "I've walked less, but I feel the same. Especially this headache. When I woke up. It kept hammering my head"

Hearing this, Harry was startled. "You have the headache too?"

Elizabeth didn't see or notice his startle. "Well yeah, this headache... it's been hammering my head since I woke up... probably that cabinet hit me hard"

Harry with a frown said "Emmy where is the nearest medical room or anything similar"

# There is one on the D floor, but in the opposite direction and at the corner of the building

"Is there any on Floor E? If so which one is closer to the one on Floor D or Floor E?"

# All the floors have a medical room. The medical room on Floor D is opposite the side of your location. If you don't want to lose time I can add a medical room on floor E to your route to the subfloors

"Okay do that... I also want more gear, not just a sword. It might be light armor that Otawa is making. There must be some prototypes we can use, right?"

Elizabeth looked a little uncomfortable. "If I didn't know you have some inner implant at your head. Without anything like an earplug or something like that. I would think you are crazy. And why did you look like you panicked a bit when you heard my headache"

Without turning her head, Harry said, "Don't read me that much, Elisa... Some Equipment hit our heads hard enough that we both passed out and we both have a headache. I don't want either of us to suddenly pass out and fall to the ground and surprise the other. Surprises can be very dangerous where we are at, and the "speak on the air" thing. You're right, we've been communicating with Emmy like this since I woke up, and I guess I got used to it without realizing it. Emmy, can you use the intercom when it's available for talking with us"

# Yes Mr.Kowalski. Whenever available I'll use it from now on.

"Okay, now that we're done with that. Now we can get into that equipment lab." Said Henry as he step into the lab.

It was unlike many other labs that they constantly entered and checked. As far as he could see, there were at least 10 workbenches inside. 2 side by side and in 5 rows. A meeting table in the back and an enclosed desk resembling an executive workstation right next to it. Some looked very close together, while others seemed to be used for very different purposes. Some even had appliances hanging from the ceiling.

Right after entering the lab. The intercom system was activated immediately. With a crackling sound.

# Hello Miss. Cunningham

Elizabeth was startled when she heard the voice "Uh oh Emmy I guess?"

# Yes Miss. Cunningham Its Emmy, Otawa Complex Internal Support/Emergency AI

Harry was checking the workbenches. After seeing nothing like swords or swords in any of them, he said, " Since it's not on any workbench, is it in the equipment locker or something like that??"

# Yes Mr. Kowalski it's in the prototype cabinet tagged with "Karen" in Workbench Number 8, 4 rows, the right one

Without wasting any time, Harry proceeded to row 4 next to the 8th workbench, where the equipment locker Emmy was talking about was located.

# Mr. Kowalski Cabinet Administrator Password U-31R52T9

# Miss Cunningham While Mr. Kowalski getting his sword is there anything I can help you with?

Elizabeth was looking at Harry with an amused expression. "Oh hmm, I don't have anything particular at the moment, Emmy. But there are few things I'll like to confirm. "and sat down at the nearest chair.

# If I could help with them

Elizabeth's Just a moment ago smiling face became serious. "What's the cause of this accident? What's the status of Otawa Complex. Is there any research administrator still alive. Is there any security personnel that we can connect to of course; What can you tell me about Harry? How did you give this mission to him? He's a Dougan, and I'm sure this thing is caused by Dougan Complex"

# The cause of the incident is still unknown. A possible 'Catastrophic' level disaster caused severe damage to island infrastructure. Main AI Man and Its main frame cannot be connected, the Main connection server is offline and Secondary and other backup servers are not responding. A possible cause is a Radioactive wave Similar to Higher Electro Magnetic Pulse. Otawa perimeter network is offline, Otawa management office is not responding, Otawa security office is not responding, Otawa mainframe is in damaged condition and needs urgent repair, and Otawa arc reactor is in fail-safe mode, At present, the Otawa complex's security system is still offline, only some of the cameras and several The automatic system is still active. Security personnel is still unresponsive. There are active Communication Bracelets in the complex on different floors. Communication attempts to these bracelets failed. The life signs of the users of the bracelets are Unstable.

# As for your question about Harry Kowalski He is a Dougan Complex Staff - Software Engineer - Artificial Intelligence - Implant Specialist. Assigned to the Light scout armor project jointly run by the Dougan Complex and the Otawa Complex. Currently, among active personnel, Harry Kowalski has the highest chance of surviving. It is therefore tasked with moving confidential research data to a safe location. His affiliation to Dougan cannot bethe cause of the suspicion.

Elizabeth's shoulders slumped, "So even you don't know what it is' radioactive wave huh and 'highest survival rate'? Okay, I admit it's not bad for a researcher. But other than that... Wait a minute. He's just a Software Engineer, why does he have an implant? And what was that move with the fire extinguisher? I owe him for saving my life, but that's not something a normal guy can do."

# Sorry Miss Cunningham, you do not have access to inquiries about the Implants, and his chances of survival were calculated on his private personal data. You do not have access to this topic either. As for the act of saving your life and how he managed that, I have no record of the moment and after. At the moment of that event, there was no active security camera that's why I cannot comment on it

"No Access huh. What is special with him I wonder? It was a rhetorical question anyway" said Elizabeth and stand up and moved towards Harry

Harry was smiling like kids eating ice cream. "Finally! You're mine," he said, hugging the sword he had taken from the equipment locker. Then he began to control the sword; "The tip of the blade is nice and has a sharp angle. The body is durasteel according to the datasheet, I can't be sure of that but it probably is, The blood groove is not that thick which is nice. Durasteel's black color is already my favorite. Just a little heavy, probably because created for the light scout armor. I'll get used to it in time so I don't have to worry. Electrical parts offline probably need a power source that comes with armor. Well it's awesome as it is I can't imagine what will it be when it has its power source"

He stopped caressing the sword. With a low voice "Getting used to its weight. Well that's going to be hard. Going to use this sword for cutting flesh, Crazy or not or 'Abnormal' or not. I never killed any living thing. Damn." his mood dropped down after realization of what he going to do with the weapon hit him.

Elizabeth nodded inwardly after watching him in his dilemma and to herself, she muttered "at least he's not some ruthless guy without a soul"

He noticed Elizabeth getting near him. Turned to her "Well we got what I want, while it creates some problems in itself. We have a tool to defend ourselves and that's what matters here. We should get some short rest and then plan what to do from here"

Harry put the sword on the nearest workbench and throws himself onto the chair right next to him. "Yeah as I have said it's like I have been walking nonstop for a week. That's how much I feel tired. How about you Elisa?"

Elizabeth smiled at him "I feel tired too. But it's not like walking non-stop for a week, maybe half of it?" She looked at the sword "so what can you do with it? To be honest I didn't take it seriously. When you said you need to get a sword. Because never heard of any software engineer with this kind of hobby. Your kind should be stationary to your chair isn't it?"

Harry looked into her eyes. "My kind. Well, I'm unique, isn't that obvious already. "after turning his gaze to the sword, "Well, I can't say I'm very experienced. Warrior. I've used it in some tournaments with tons of rules so as not to hurt the opponent. I haven't had as much time as I like to mess with words. So there's no 'My life is my sword or Way of the Sword.' kind of thing. He reached for the sword with his right hand and checked its balance. "Let me show you, they say, 'It's better to show than tell.'
