《Lethal Virtue》Chapter 6:Apollo & Acantha

The next few had happened and Paul and the others were waiting for the results of the liquid while solving small cases from people that needed help which of course they were many for the reason that the city was chaos itself, but something changed in the city, the next day of Zeus arrival to the city his soldiers started showing in all places and putting stations for them to protect the civilians of the city and limiting the crimes, The soldiers had black looking armor with masks that had a red x across it, this will might change the city and make it safer or will make it worse, it all depends on what Cytro will do.
"The results are out, it is the X-treon on big amounts, this probably had 10% change of contracting it and getting it to adapt on the body but if not, you would start to slowly die and get melted" said Charlie, "This is bad, a lot of people that got it probably die because of it, This is so fucked and they are basically making themselves look like the ones saving people, they are even probably the ones that started the crimes and chaos this city has!" Michael said while stood there with a punch posed hand and teeth pressed, "We better find something new, and quick" Said Eleanor, then they all got into place and started a plan, Piers was the one to explain.
"Alright first thing first, they don't know who we are and that we already know what they are hiding, this is the perfect time for us to infiltrate and get info on what's inside that jungle of massive assholes that they are, so what are we gonna do? Well One or two of us will infiltrate the main place of their hive, The Cytro Building, we get the information that we can and then get out, the more the better so get as many information as possible, whose in?", "I am in" said Eleanor,"I am in too, we go perfect for looking the most normal" said Michael, "The both of you birds get ready because you guys go in 2 hours, is the time that an excursion of people entering that building will happen by the fact that Zeus is letting them to show the people how they work and how of a secure place it is" Piers said and both started to get ready, no weapons nor phones where allowed so they had to just get information from the place and/or steal something from it, unless... "Eleanor or Michael one of you wear this, this are high quality photography glasses with a hidden camera on the lense, it is full metal so it doesn't matter if they have it they won't brake it by the fact that it's civilian property, so it would be the only way, to take a pic just wink 4 times and it would take it automaticaly at whatever is in front" said Perry, "where did you two got this thing?" Asked Piers "don't ask, just dark places on the internet" said both PC at the same time.
A taxi picked them up and drove the to the front of the building where people was waiting to enter, the entrance was free but they had metal detectors and check in to make sure nothing wrong happens or any criminal secretly gets something illegal or anything inside the building. They got to check in and passed all the routes, the glasses got checked but the guards could not do anything by the fact that they were full on metal and could not confiscate them nor brake them because they could get sued (even though it didn't matter to them by the fact that they basically owned everything), so they got finally in. The place was massive a big open wide center with trees and couches sitting on them relaxed with their luxury suits and clothing that showed them their importance on what they do, it was a white pretty wide building that had statues of birds and eagles, some of the places were invaded with people showing their worries and waiting for the corporation to hire them, it was all weapons yet health items that improved the life of the people, even if in reality they were just using them as test subjects.

"So this is the place, I see why people thing this one is like heaven, it just looks clean and all but at the end is just hell on earth" said Michael, "and we are the ones trying to show them what this really is" said Eleanor "Good thing there is no tour trip and just a walking freely, now we can make a move here, let's start with the offices of business and information".
The building was massive and had more than 30 floors and they went to the 24 floor because the wall on the sad of the elevator said that it was the place where information and online servers, they got to it but right before putting a foot on the floor one guard told them what were they looking for in the place, it seemed that that floor was exclusivity for them and they had to be as in an excursion for them to enter and see what was inside, they told them that they were just looking to see what was their way of providing ideas and information, so the guard walked them through to talk to the boss of information of the building, both Eleanor and Michael were nervous by the fact that they might of messed up the plan but they actually at the same time were doing accordingly with it, Michael which was the one with the glasses started to take pictures of everything that was inside the building, then she was right there with her lab coat and her blonde hair, make up and sharp brown eyes, she also had tone up muscle that showed on her strong looking arms and she showed intimidation, "here there is some people that want to know about the information room boss" the guard said, "sure let them in I walk them through the place" said the woman, "Hi I am Acantha and I am the boss of this section of the building which is for information about future projects or what we can plan for the present what are you guys names?" She said, "Hi we are Paulina and Javier Wang and we just wanted to see how was that you guys get such innovating ideas for the city" Michael said, they both choose different names for their other identities that they needed to be careful, "O that's nice of you two well let me show you around" Acantha said with a cheeky voice, they moved through the place and there were a ton of stages of data and it seemed that everything was online for them, as always as he was looking he was taking pictures and she continued to explain about the same things as a guy putting you an internet router on your phone and about what it does.
And that was it for the trip on that department, they could not basically take anything nor take pictures of it because the place was basically all looked up,locked on and online so it was useless for them to do something, "It was really fun having visitors in our department, almost no civilian goes here because of the fact that it's so boring in here, thank you for visiting and ill walk you to the elevator so you two can explore other places" Acantha said with a smile on her face, "No thanks to you for showing us such a good trip of the place" said Eleanor as the three walked to the elevator. Then suddenly the elevator opened and it seemed that a person was on it and was about to get on the department of information, the elevator opened and there was a man, this time with a black waistcoat suit vest and a white shirt, Black pants a silver chain on the pocket and his hands on the pockets, probably 6,2 tall man Latino looking man with a quiff brown haircut and a toothpick on his mouth, the woman probably described him as strong looking and very handsome. "Hello people, now who are you?" He asked, "Relax sweet husband they are just two of the civilians that wanted an excursion and they by my surprise decided to get into the information and data department and I did them a little trip" said Acantha, "well did you two have fun? Oh and were are my manners I am the chief boss of weapons and armory, my name is Apollo also nice to meet ya' both" he said "well nice to meet you too, we had a lot of fun thanks to how your wife showed us the place, also we would like to explore the hole building so would you kindly show us your department too?" Said Paul with a smile on his face and blinking four times, "Sorry but not civilians allowed, anyways it was good that you both decided to get into the most boring place of the building which is the data department, I am sure you two would have more fun exploring other departments, so here is the elevator and just enter and have fun" Apollo said.

Michael and Elena entered the elevator and said goodbye to Acantha and Apollo, then they pushed the button,"fuck" Michael said,"At least we got some pictures of the hole department, sorry for your eyes though for so much blinking" Eleanor said, "Yeah, well this is just the beginning now we gotta get through the hole building to explore and get all the information and pictures we can". So they started to walk through the hole building as exploring the different departments and in all of them a guard was there and asked the same question of where they were going in a department or what they wanted to see, the building had a lot of departments like one for advice to people, one for money problems and helping people, then there was the restricted departments that civilians could not even access through the elevator, probably one of them was the CEO office and the weapons and armory department, then they decided to enter the last one they were allowed into, the lab where healthcare and a bunch of other things for the well of the people were made, same as before a security question then they entered and one guy with told them that the boss lab was not there right now so he would had to explain and make the tour of the department.
The lab was futuristic with bleached metallic white alloy, so smooth and clear you can see your reflection in it and slide for hours
the windows thin and seemingly plastic like but yet so durable that not even a tank could break through
electrical currents pulsate throughout the building, vibrant and livid, changing colour as an amusing eye catcher
stretched with long corridors and doors that blend into the walls but open automatically when triggered revealing themselves to be thick behemoths of metal. Such an amusing looking lab that in reality was the maker of the inferno inside the Blood Rejects bodies. But the hole building and lab didn't even had Treon, it was just a lab with not what they were looking for, then their walking stopped by a huge wall of meat and blood, bald head and a very very tall fat yet not fat by the hole muscles overall he had, it was the head chief of security,at least that what up of his name tag said, He probably had a massive amount of strength and probably if he punched a wall he would break it with his fist at one punch and not even get too much damage, they both saw that his name in the name tag was Atlas,"You two need to leave, the Building tour ends at 8:00 pm and is past time so now every civilian gets to leave at this time" He said, Sure thing big guy we were just about to leave" Michael said nervously "now let's go and get home honey". They got to the elevator and to the first floor, took a cab to the trains and then take another cab to the house just to make sure no one was following them, they both got home and it was a massive big relief for them that nothing weird happened.
"So how was it what you two got?, never mind let's go to the basement and get off those glasses and give them to PC so they pull out the pictures while you two explain what you both saw" said Piers right when they got into the entrance of the house, then they both got to the basement and started to say what they both saw, all of them were surprised and angry by the fact that there was no clue for them to expose on the naked eye, PC showed the pictures and there was nothing interesting, unless...
"Well now we got pictures of people who work there, and also one of the faces is recognisable to the system, Mr. Apollo, he basically is the owner of one of the small building of abandoned Apartment in Kongo Street" said Perry, "Abandoned is the key word, this people won't own nothing if it is not for a reason, We have to search up that place and see if there might be something" Piers said, "Well now it would be my turn, Ill go alone so we can get expanded while not being a coincidence of if we know each other and who we are, so Ill prepare myself to depart tomorrow" said Paul with a firm and secure voice, "well be careful and better carry a gun, that place is a mess and now it would be more that that of the Hotel happened, so be careful" said Piers while all of them worried on Paul.

Warhammer 40,000: Mind over Matter
Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, but accessible to those unfamiliar with the setting. The Imperium of Man has been fighting the Long War for ten thousand years. It is a war fought simultaneously across thousands of stars and against innumerable enemies. On smoke-filled battlefields and in the cold emptiness of the void the military might of the Imperium stands strong in the face of horrifying foes. It is not a war fought to conquer new lands, or to seize the wealth of enemy nations. It is a war fought to hold what they have, or to regain what they have already lost. The world of Nova Iberia is far from that war and supports the Imperium by sending her finest sons to foreign stars to fight and die as elite commandos in the Imperial Guard. A chance discovery on the corpse of one of these commandos has cast doubts around the world's loyalty, and has drawn the attention of the Imperial Inquisition. The seekers of the Alien, the Heretic and the Daemon have descended upon this peaceful world, and they will not leave it intact. Primaris Psyker Amelia Lafayette was a ward of the state, now bound as an acolyte to the Inquisition in recognition of her telepathic gifts.
