"Consequences of Diplomatic Failure"

9 days before the infiltration of 'Oak Bay Town' :

At 8 A.M Officer Steven takes a covert turn into an abandoned alleyway, touches some selective brick, and 'Bam' opens a secretive door with a set of stairs made of scrap metal and pipes.

As Officer Steven navigates the scrap metal and pipe stairs, the clanging and creaking of the metal echo through the narrow alleyway. The scent of rust and decay fills his nostrils, making him wrinkle his nose in disgust. He reaches the metal door at the end of the stairs and stands in front of it.

The metal door shines and a hologram scan is conducted on Officer Steven after the necessary disengagement is done the door opens.

As he enters the metal door, the sound of heated arguments and the rustling of papers fill the air, making him a headache from the noise. The room is dimly lit, with only a few flickering fluorescent lights providing illumination. The air is thick with the acrid smell of sweat and cigarette smoke, making it difficult to breathe. Officer Steven feels a headache coming on, he walks into the washroom and finds a man injecting something into his body.

In the washroom, the sound of running water provides a brief respite from the chaos of the main room. The man injecting himself flinches at the sudden interruption, and the sharp metallic scent of the syringe fills the air.

"You putting your regular adrenaline shots huh?" Officer Steven said to the man.

The man turns around shocked but calms down after seeing that a regular visitor has turned up.

"Find any tactics worth my glance?" asks Officer Steven.

No, says the man, "We all have been working day and night using our brains and machines to find out the best possible way to request The Rutherford Empire to hand over the traitor diplomatically, but even the machine thinks its a stupid idea".

"Think why would The Rutherford Empire hand over such a valuable asset that allowed them to dominate the military charts and also become the leader in the PHR pact. The amount of soft power they wield is truly terrifying and it is all because the higher echelons of the UPKF thought a simple man who held so much potential was a pain in their ass."

Officer Steven's gaze instantly freezes he rushes forward and grabs the man by his collar and tells him "You know that this is none of your business right?"

When Officer Steven grabs the man by the collar, the sound of fabric ripping fills the room, and the man's breath hitches in fear.

The man instead of getting scared maniacally laughed and said "Are you still loyal towards those fat-asses who can do nothing but think of themselves and tell the public they are doing it for the sake of humanity."

This time a gun cocks up in Officer Steven's hand and he only tells "Only do your job don't come poking over here, you are talking about things that can get you killed."

The cold metal of the gun against the man's temple sends a shiver down his spine, and he can feel the sweat on his palms.

The man they were talking to was one of the top diplomats of the UPKF 'Arnold Beth'.

Officer Steven releases Arnold and walks out with him.

As they leave the main room and enter Arnold's office, the plush carpet underfoot muffles their footsteps. The office is immaculately clean, with no papers or clutter in sight. The only sound is the quiet hum of the air conditioning, providing a welcome relief from the stuffiness of the main room. They proceed to sit down and Officer Steven tells Arnold about the urgency of catching the traitor.

"Our intelligence division is suspecting that the traitor knows about the 'The God Particle Experiment', if this is true and the traitor has already sold this information to the PHR pact the consequences can be terrifying, to say the least," says Officer Steven

Arnold's entire body quivers and he stands up and shouts at Steven asking him "What the hell do you mean that you Intelligence Division suspected the organization of your scale should be sure of its information! Now it fits it all fits into place the only reason we weren't able to find a diplomatic move is that after the traitor fled to The Rutherford Empire I analyzed all the possible deals that the traitor and The Rutherford Empire had struck and 'The God Particle Experiment' never crossed my mind, I am sure that The Rutherfords know about the experiment and has cut all diplomatic ties with us because their whole pact wasn't involved or invited for this experiment."

"This gives me a total breakdown Officer Steven, this has to be the worst diplomatic failure in the Solar Cluster I am sure that it will go down in history because of this mistake our diplomatic means to The Hemsworth Family and The Petrov Family is at risk and you know what happens when three big boys get upset the thing that happens is destruction."

Arnold takes a huge breath after saying this, his eyes roll upwards and he faints with white foam coming out of his mouth.

When Arnold collapses, the sound of his chair falling to the ground is deafening in the silence of the office. The white foam coming out of his mouth is a stark contrast against his pale skin, and the smell of his breath is sickly sweet.

Officer Steven falls down from his chair while imagining the consequences. He sees Arnold fall down and quickly crawled up to him and started searching Arnold's pockets.

As Officer Steven searches Arnold's pocket for the injection, his hands brush against the soft fabric of Arnold's suit, and he can feel the rapid beating of Arnold's pulse under his fingers.

After finding the adrenaline shot that Arnold was taking he immediately grabs the syringe and stabs it into a random nerve of Arnold's hand.

What will happen in the future will truly be interesting...
