"Unforeseen Circumstances part 5"

Alexander replied, "No, everything is not okay. I have to do something about this woman. She's being held captive by the attackers." Alex teased, [Are you going to play the hero now?] Alexander, frustrated, said, "What do you expect me to do? Ignore her?" Alex replied, [No, I'm just teasing you. But be careful, Alexander. This could be a trap.] Alexander thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea."

"I have an idea. I'll use the sleeping gas to put them both to sleep, then I'll kidnap them both. It will be faster this way." Alex was taken aback by the plan but didn't argue as he knew Alexander was determined.

Alexander carefully placed the sleeping gas canister on the ground and activated it. He watched as the gas filled the air around the woman and the attacker, causing them to slowly drift off to sleep. He felt a pang of guilt for what he was about to do, but knew it was the only way to get them both . He quickly scooped up the woman in his arms and then grabbed the unconscious attacker by the collar of his shirt, dragging him along the ground towards the spaceship. It was a difficult and heavy task, but Alexander was determined to get them both . As he made his way towards the ship, he could feel the weight of the woman and the attacker in his arms, but he didn't let that slow him down.

After some time, while using the drones to avoid any potential attackers, Alexander finally arrived at his spaceship. He took the woman and the attacker inside and secured them in separate rooms. He went to retrieve the gadget that Alex had mentioned earlier. Alex asked, [So, what's the plan now?] Alexander replied, "I'm going to use the gadget to extract information from the attacker. I need to know why they attacked and who is behind this." Alex nodded in agreement and said, [That's a good plan surprisingly ] Alexander ignored Alex and went to work on the gadget.

After a few hours, Alexander had successfully extracted some information from the attacker. He found out that they were hired by a mysterious group to kidnap the woman. The reason for the kidnapping was still unknown, but Alexander was determined to find out. He went to the room where the woman was being held and woke her up. She was surprised to see Alexander and asked, "What's going on? Why am I here?" Alexander explained everything to her and told her that he would help her find out who was behind the attack. The woman was grateful for Alexander's help and agreed to work with him.

As Alexander asked the AI about the location near the city where the attackers came from, the AI teased him. [You know, I'm not sure if I should tell you. Maybe I'll keep it a secret and watch you struggle to find it,] the AI said playfully. However, Alexander was in no mood for jokes. He knew the importance of finding the location and he didn't want to waste any time. The woman who was kidnapped was shocked and curious about Alexander's identity. She had never seen anyone like him before, with all his gadgets and talking screen. "Who are you?" she asked in disbelief. Alexander, not wanting to reveal too much about himself, pretended that he was the one who had built everything. The AI continued to mock Alexander, speaking to him through the chip in Alexander's head. [You should tell her the truth. You didn't build me, you know,] the AI said, laughing. Alexander ignored the AI's comment and brought the topic back to the location of the attackers' base. The AI displayed the location on the screen, showing a detailed map of the area. Alexander made sure to remember the location, knowing that it was crucial to stopping the attackers and finding out their motives. The woman looked on in amazement, still trying to process everything she was seeing and hearing.

The location of the attackers' base was displayed on the AI's screen, revealing a desolate and rocky terrain in a remote area. The terrain was marked by jagged cliffs and rocky outcroppings, with sparse vegetation and few signs of human activity. The base itself was hidden in a cave nestled between two cliffs, with the only visible entrance partially obscured by boulders and brush. From the aerial view provided by the drones, it appeared that the cave extended deep into the cliff face, suggesting that it might be larger than it seemed from the outside. The overall impression was one of rugged, inhospitable terrain, with few signs of life or civilization. Alexander knew that it would be a difficult and dangerous mission to infiltrate the base and confront the attackers, but he was determined to see it through to the end.

Alexander turned to the woman and asked, "Do you have any idea why they were after you?" The woman shook her head, clearly just as puzzled as he was. "I don't know," she replied, "but they seemed desperate to get their hands on me." She then introduced herself as Princess Althea and explained that she was from a neighboring kingdom. Alexander's mind raced with possibilities - perhaps the attackers were hoping to use her as leverage to negotiate with her father, the king. Meanwhile, the AI piped up, [Sir, the spaceship is now fixed and ready to fly.] Alexander nodded, relieved that they could finally leave this place. He turned to Princess Althea and said, "We need to get you to safety. Come with me, and we'll figure out what's going on."

Alexander and Althea were relieved to hear that the attack had finally ended and the explosions had ceased. Althea, eager to get back to her kingdom as quickly as possible, asked Alexander if his spaceship was fast enough to get her there. She explained that she needed to inform her father about the attack as soon as possible since they had tried to kidnap her, which meant they might be planning something against her kingdom. Alexander replied that his spaceship was indeed fast, but he wasn't sure about going to her kingdom.

Althea was persistent, "Please, Alexander. My father needs to know about this. I need to warn him before it's too late."

Alexander was hesitant, "I don't know. It might not be safe."

The AI interrupted, [Alexander, Althea makes a valid point. Going to her kingdom might be the best way to gather more information about the attackers.]

"Are you sure that's the best idea?" he asked the AI. "We don't even know what's happening there. It could be dangerous."
