They stayed hidden behind the wreck peering up the hill occasionally.
We'll make our way down to the tip when it gets dark, unless the Over Seers pick up our tracks and head this way, said Recoil.
Alright, agreed Vladimir. "Just keep that wrench in your bag and don't swing it at me." He said.
As they lay hidden, Vladimir noticed a cylindrical object under the wreck they were hiding behind.
On it was some lettering in dark blue. Vladimir spat on his hand and began to rub away the brown dirt obscuring the letters. It read GBXESD. "Hey, Recoil, you ever heard of GBXESD?" He asked.
"Never," was her reply. It appeared to have a crack in its side which Vladimir tried to peer into.
But without light or opening it he couldn't make out anything.
Grabbing his bag, he dragged out some tools, and began to lever away at the gap that appeared in the cylindrical object. After a couple of hours, it was open. Recoil heard him working away. And now sat watching him. As light struck the objects - he found 12 small cartridges within, 7 of them were damaged. They had a covered needle on one end with two chambers above the needle holding a silver liquid and a red liquid side by side. Above each syringe was a handle which was used to plunge down forcing the two liquids into a third chamber together then out through the needle. He grabbed one of the five left undamaged and twisted left then right on the handle and plunged it down. The silver and red liquid combined and shot out the needle onto the dirt.
Hahaha, he laughed. An injection or something. Recoil laughed along with him.
He put the four undamaged units to the side.
Hoping for a better reward within he reached further into the cylindrical object and but all there was were some sheets of plastic with some writing on them.
With his reading ability he couldn't understand much of what was written. So he passed the papers over to Recoil . She began to read out loud,
"Government Bureau for Experimental Enhancement - Secure Drone."
Top Secret Delivery from GBXESD to SECSAC66.
Her voice began to tremble as she realised what they had.
"These must be enhancements", she said. "It says here 12 level 59 Enhancement cartridges."
"There are colour codes for them. Blue: Tech Engineer Scientist, Black: Military Officer Air/Space, Grey: Intelligence Officer and Red: Political Scientist. All the black are broken, besides the one you just injected into the dirt!" She exclaimed.
They were now both extremely tense and nervous about their discovery. Enhancements - brilliant! Said Vladimir, Enhancements he repeated..hhaha.!
"Pick a colour!" Vladimir said to Recoil.
"Blue! What the heck can I do as an intelligence officer, or political officer...of course the blue." She said.
"Vladimir held it out…she grabbed it and crawled out of sight.
Vladimir watched out of the corner of his eye as she started rolling down her coveralls exposing her chest and arms. He swallowed as he saw her body, then quickly looked away, nervous about her swinging wrench.
She had wasted no time injecting the enhancement into her arm.
'What the hell,' thought Vladimir, 'This gals crazy.'
Vladimir packed away the last two red enhancements carefully wrapped in cloth.
Then, he sat watching her nervously, as she injected the substance.
In his own hand he held the grey enhancement syringe….
