Boyek's POV-Continued
"When you have dismantled A.D.P.E.N, did you even realize that you left us defenseless against the infection?!" I asked Skip since I knew that he is mostly responsible for her destruction.
"Yeah, I knew. But Boyek-"
"I don't want to hear it! W-W-We were defenseless against the infection. The power was off and the infection made their way into our places of hiding. I ran b-b-but I had to because we would have been sitting ducks if we stayed." I said, remembering the moment we had to flee from our hiding place.
"That when you tried to find a place to hide and wait for help to come," Jenny said. "Actually... How did you contact me? I remembered that I wanted to give you a piece of my mind, you perv." she stares at me.
I rolled my eyes in frustration, I don't like being called a—a-an perv.
"I t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t..." I stuttered, I wanted to say it there, and then, the team didn't say a word as if they wanted to finish was I was staying. "I t-t-told you not to call me a perv, Jenny!" I finally said after a struggle to get the words out.
"Yo man, you could have chosen an office, private room, workplace, hell the man's room if you had to. But why the women's room?" Joe asked me. The question has fluttered me.
"They... I didn't want to encounter the infected and those places would have infected in there plus the ladies' room would be a good place to hide equipment there plus they were no infected in there. And if you EVEN try to I-I-Imply that I look at women in that place..." I warned them.
Sakura pats me on the back: Relax, Doctor. You helped Jenny and I know you have no interest in a woman. Plus, I know some perverts that would do so.
"Armin! Glad to see you alive." someone voice said to me... Eric?
"Eric!" I ran up to me and we kissed each other... It's good to know that he is all right.
"So you're Eric Parnsneck, right?" Jenny asked him.
"I know who you are, Inface Company." I turned to the woman and scanned for the entire group. "They were supposed to be 6 of you but... I suspect it would be better for me not to ask, you've been through enough hell for the entire day." he said,
"My father is dead, no need to beat around the bush." Skip said.
"Skip Fozen. I know your father, he is tough, a grizzled war veteran," he said as soon as he mentioned his father. "I'm sorry for his loss, but I also heard what happened to Millie."
"I've burned her, man," Joe said to him.
"Out of mercy, I hope?" he asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"Good, but let's get 3 things clear first." he got straight to the point. "First off: I am one of the team leaders that prepared for this event. I have come here to see if I can find Boyek up here since it would be one of his hiding spots."
"Eric..." he said embarrassingly.
"I know. Second, we are working on a weapon to defeat the infected. It called itself The One. But I suspect you know already. But you have questions?" he asked us
Sakura speaks up: How do you propose to do so? I know we need to go after the Biomass before it can escape.
"Gather around, everyone. I will need to get you all to speed on what we need to do," he stated.
The plan to stop The One
As we speak and compare notes on the situations, w-w-we now have an obvious goal of stopping these monsters.
The problem is, with the power gone, it will be difficult to transverse throughout the station. He suggested that we need to restore power to the station. We are working on a weapon that can pierce their b-b-biomass; I had Skip shared with me on Data on the enemies they faced. I've discovered a weak point and know where to place the Javelin.
Eric will need one member of the team to assist us in the weapon's development... There are 13 of us left. Jenny elected to help with finishing the construction of the weapon.
We split up into 2 groups: One to come with me to B3 to finish the development of the weapon and the other needed to head to the power reactor at B2 to restore power. Once we get that set, we are ready to take the fight to the One.
"Now we should go-" he said as he turned around and heard clapping from behind.
"Well done, Ladies... You finally got a plan cooked up." Wait... is that... M-M-M-Mark? The last time I saw him, the infected have swarmed him and I a-a-a-assumed that they killed him.
"Dad? I thought you were dead?" Skip said much to his shock at seeing his father alive.
