  Reports And Files

  11:51 P.M...

  Hellenistic Sector, Unknown Vicinage...

  The Chamber...

  Two supervisors walked the line of workstations to keep up with the increased activity, and one of the supervisors approached the Council. They talked among themselves, so the supervisor cleared his throat.

  "Yes?" Mr. Morta asked.

  "We have received the report from the S.C.M. team we sent into Etna Toys Distribution Station Bravo."

  "Good, good," Mr. Morta stated. "What does it say?"

  "The S.C.M. guarding the back was Gel-Tasered, but he is fine, and the dozen K-99s guarding the building were destroyed."

  "I see."

  "Pandora..." Mr. Decuma said. "It must have been Pandora."

  "What was it doing at that Etna?" Ms. Nona asked and turned to the supervisor and questioned, "Could the S.C.Ms. tell how far the intruder..."

  "It was definitely two," the supervisor interrupted. "The S.C.Ms. were able to download data from a few of the K-99s. There were two intruders and both of them were female. One of them has been confirmed as Pandora."

  "Like I said, Pandora was there." Mr. Decuma then asked, "Could the soldiers tell how far they reached?"

  "Yes, we know they accessed the cavern through the hand scanners. The S.C.Ms. believe they climbed the first cavern's walls. Data retrieved from the K-99s confirms that they engaged them on the second floor, but only the K-99s activated the elevator."

  Mr. Decuma questioned, "What about the rooms up there?"

  "Before answering that, I would like to know–" Ms. Nona interrupted. "–do we have an ID on the second woman?"

  "Yes, we acquired it by using facial recognition software." The supervisor looked to his H.H.C. "She is Ms. Kimberly Griffin."

  "The Chairman's daughter?" Mr. Morta said, surprised. "What is she doing with Pandora?" He rubbed his chin. "Very interesting."

  The supervisor turned to the other male member of the Council and stated, "As for Mr. Decuma's question, the door to the filing cabinet room was knocked in and the books in the secret room were searched and thrown to the floor. There's a note on the report." The supervisor paused, retrieving the attachment. "The S.C.Ms. found one single filing cabinet in the secret room, and it was empty."

  Ms. Nona asked, "What about Ginn's Cipher that was used to access the caverns? Which one of them possesses it? And once we find out, what are we going to do about it?"

  Mr. Morta stated, "Very interesting question. What should we do about it?"
