Phase One (Part II/III)

Time: 30 Minutes into Phase one

Location: Compound

POV: Zero's

''Commander!'' A soldier saluted the compounds commander, 'I can't keep this up!' I cursed, sweat dripped past my forehead, I was holding on to the Exhaust pipe which was almost breaking off of the commander's car! ''Please proceed Commander!'' The soldier said before signalling the other men to open the massive steel gates.

The car started to drive into the compound, 'God this last minute planning sure is tedious. It was that I heard the Commander would be coming early and not at phase 5 which should be in roughly 2 hours.' I was happy and cautious as it seems that something has caused the commander to arrive early.

the car drove into the Bunker complex to the vehicle depot inside where he parked the car. The commander stepped out, 'I could kill him and his guards without the compound noticing short-term, but long-term Shadow should replace him, pity' I thought. I waited until the commander left the area before I rolled from under the car. 'God my fingers hurt.' I curse the long period of staying under the car silently. I check my surroundings, seeing no one I start to explore the internal structure. 'Concrete all around, this is high-level defence structure, steel supports, metal doors, blast doors and internal MG positions. Not on par with our Bunker system, but totally no shabby.' I analysed. ''...Oh god, I just got promoted!

The commander saw me working thrice as hard and rewarded me, saying a united collective needs men like me, I am thrilled Carl!'' A soldier said to the suspected Carl, ''Oh man, you're lucky, He didn't walk the route to his office past the Armoury instead he went pas the Obj.289. Jeez, I am unlucky. And stop bragging Fisher!'' Carl said laughingly. 'It seems the troops seem to be lacking in discipline, but cooperation should be on par or even better than our troops.' I continued to analyse all troops passing by, it was only when I knew the interval of the patrol did I make a move, but I made a slight mistake.

The corridor I took leads to the massive open area where the Obj.289 is stationed, making it difficult to hide, I duck behind some wooden crates on the left of the exit of the corridor. I look up at the Obj.289 that the Marshall wants to be destroyed, 'WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!' I shout in my heart, for the 1st time since Zero took up the mantle to lead the secret police has he never lost his composure, this was his first time, the barrel was a minimum of 8 meters in diameter!

''This is an Alert to all personnel, Tomorrow night will be the firing of the Obj.289, the rocket-propelled shells need to be used for the long-distance shot, Target is in sub-sector 193, which is located in sector 12, also known as Switzerland, prepared ammunition requested by the commander is 100 shells, fired over 24 hours. Get a move on chaps!'' The man over the intercom ordered, 'They must have finished the gun! No no no! We must destroy it now!' My heart was in turmoil hearing this, I move from crate to crate trying to hide my presence.

'I must create a failsafe!' I analysed the Artillery's structure, 'If I place a light amount of explosives at the 3rd support section I will create the most delay for firing!' I needed a plan to get close, 'A Disguise is necessary it seems.' I pondered, and with that, I jumped back into the corridor, and to the restroom, I saw on my way out. I sneak into the restroom, seeing that one door was locked I was extra quiet and moved to the very last door. I entered and closed it silently. But I was disgusted by what I heard at the other toilet, 'Who the fuck is having sex in a FUCKING bathroom!' I curse the vulgar acts of the man on duty, 'Our soldiers are of course not stopped from such actions in their free time, but during duty, any of such actions will be severely punished! Damn Unionists, can't they take their job serious!' I curse them.

I open my door again and lock the door to the bathroom, using a foam spray I sprayed the edges of the door insulating it, so no sound could get out.

I knock on the door where the two were 'enjoying' their time, ''FUCK OFF!'' The man shouted from inside, ''I am Taking a dump! I command you to leave I am Colonel Jeffery!'' He continued, but you could clearly hear what he was doing, '' On duty! You disgust me!'' I said, and with that kick in the door, a man and women screamed, they both covered themselves up, 'Splitch' My knife goes right through the back of the man's head, I kept it in so no blood would spill, after which I threw 3 needles at the woman's throat, she couldn't scream before her throat was filled with blood. 'A tad bit messy, but those two deserved it.' I mocked them.

It took me 2 minutes to undress the man and replace my clothing with his, It as a bit of a tight fit, I moved both man and women to the outer most toilet, after which I spread the same foam on the door and locked it, before writing professionally, 'Under repair' I removed the foam on the door of entry flushed it down the toilet after which I checked if all looked normal, even if people peeked under they would see dirty spilt water, while the man and women were attached above the toilet so nothing was shown.

I walk around the Obj.289, no one actually seemed to care who I was, 'Damn the security is lax.' I mock their laziness, it seems the men trust too much on the entrance guards to check everyone, there were guards everywhere but all saluted my rank and or got quickly out of the way. I went on one knee at the support strut placing the explosives behind it out of sight. ''Excuse me what are you doing?'' A man asked me, I finished placing it before standing up, ''I was checking if there were no damages as this is a very important structural piece.'' I replied while turning around to see who it is, 'Oh well my luck is not the greatest it seems.' I curse as I see the Commanders badge on the man's clothing, ''Mhm, indeed, have you checked the others as well?'' the man asked with keen eyes, 'Wait!' I remembered one of the sentences the patrols said,''Commander!'' I saluted ''Yes it seems Strut 1 and 2 have minor cracks due to the weight of the Obj.289, So I started to check the others as well, starting from the 3rd.'' I replied calmly, the man nodded, ''Keep up the good work, it is thanks to men like you double checking everything that all runs smoothly.'' the Commander said while patting my shoulder.

But a clear hint of regret and fear shone in his eyes but quickly disappeared. ''Now if you'll excuse me I have a guest to entertain.'' He continued before leaving with his two guards, ''YES COMMANDER'' I saluted before moving to strut 4 to look like I am busy. 'That was close!' I shouted in my heart, 'But what guest? Would this hinder phase 5?' Some questions go through my mind but finding no answer to my question I caste it momentarily aside, 'I need to find the communication post.' I now went to search for my target unimpeded.
