"Son I called you here for a very important business." The president stands up and started walking toward me, he came in front of me, and we shared a handshake. He sits on the sofa perpendicular to me. "Now I will show you a very important video, that you cannot disclose to anyone, and if you do so you will be prosecuted." "Am I clear?" With a strong commanding tone, he said.
"Mr. President you have my word," I said while looking into his eyes.
The president nodded at the military officer sitting next to him, The officer had five silver stars in a pentagon shape shining in his uniform, and So is the one sitting on the sofa next to me.
The army officers extended their hands for the greeting, and I followed through. It was a bone-crushing handshake, I am not surprised as many military officers tend to do! A bone-crushing handshake which is not enjoyable. They introduced themselves as "Henry MacArthur States Army." "Marshall Douglas States Navy." To which I replied "Josh Hatchetson Geologist."
"They are the newly appointed General of the army and Fleet admiral." The president said, as he finished the sentence he leaned forward and crossed his hand, and looked me in the eye as he was waiting for a question."
"But there was no news of any newly appointed General of the army and Fleet admiral and since the great war, the states have not appointed any new five-star Generals."
"hahahaha.." "I told you he is the guy for this operation." the mysterious man in the black suit, who was standing in the corner the entire time just listening, laughed.
he comes closer and takes the seat on my right side "what do you mean ?" I asked.
"Why don't we show you," the man said. He takes the remote from the table in front of us and turned on the TV.
A recording plays.,
"... Body cam Soldier 1."
The Soldiers were walking on an uneven plain with tall grass. Maybe it was a cornfield, they had their night vision on the time showing on the screen was 2 A.M.
speaking very silently. "Sir we are 500m from the impact location," said a soldier with a map in his hand.
"Roger that," said Soldier 1.
From the video, it looks like a group of extremely well-trained soldiers with top gear are leading the operation, they were going deep into the cornfield.
Soldier 1 showed his hand to stop, and everyone stopped and takes a knee.
"Bzz... " "Sierra, this is Chaos-6 we are 50m from the crow's nest requesting permission to approach over" Conversation on the radio.
"Chaos-6 you are clear to approach over."
The soldiers started to move again. They reach many craters made from meteorites one of the soldier moved closer and saw 10 meteorites one next to the other they had a weird radiating energy to them.
"Bzz...Shzz" "Sierra, we have our eye on the nest preparing to collect the sample and moving to the extraction point over."
"Chaos-6 copy that over."
Suddenly a loud noise as if someone shot a gun, "Boom!" The soldiers looked up and saw Flares, it was lighting up the sky which is causing a big problem.
"Sierra, we have eyes on Tangos requesting permission to fire immediately on the approaching targets over."
"Chaos-6 you're not clear to engage I repeat: Do not engage." "Gold eagle wants you to describe an accurate overview of the Tangos over."
"Copy that, Sierra We've spotted 8 Hostiles fully equipped with guns and gears we have never seen before over."
After a brief silence.
"Chaos-6, you're clear to engage, Gold eagle wants you to bring those new gears with you, we'll be sending an MQ-9 on your way to the extraction point, Expect to be ETA: 15-0 mike.
The soldiers start firing at the target Rat-tat-tat! The guns went wild, and all 8 targets should be dead as the aim was perfect but the bullets were stopped, It's like some kind of invisible forcefield stopped the bullets inches before hitting the target's body.
The enemy starts firing back Bang Bang! the three soldiers in the front are dead, they were shot in the head. Every soldier has their pulse monitored on the screen, three pulses were flat lines. The scene was too gruesome, I looked toward the President, He was completely focused on the screen. Somehow I restrained myself and continued watching.
The intensity in the atmosphere is increasing every second
"Sierra 2-1,2-2,2-3! is down, I repeat: 2-1,2-2,2-3 is down!
"Sierra, The enemy is equipped with unknown bulletproof equipment requesting immediate evacuation over"
"Chaos-6 your new randevu point is North-North-West of Union station about 800m over"
The soldier started running towards their Randevu point.
"huff huff Sierra We're taking heavy fire where is the air support? over"
'"Rat-tat-tat!" Heavy firing!!!
suddenly on the screen, six more pulses were flat-lined and the sound echoed through the oval office.
The last soldier 1 body cam suddenly dropped to the ground showing a masked enemy soldier covered in tech not known to anyone, The cam attached to Soldier 1 was crushed and his Pulse Flat-lined like the rest of his team, He was also dead.
"Turn off that damn thing," The President said he stand up and continued "The states have lost 10 best soldiers, and we still don't know a damn thing about that tech, or about that Goddamn rock"
"That team has a success rate of 100% on any mission given to them, they have delivered even the damn head of Larden, The highest priority target in states list," The army General sitting in front of me said.
The president looks at the General and then toward me "Josh, what you saw was our operation to retrieve a meteorite," The president pointed at a specific location in the map, that was on the table and made a circle using his finger, "Here in the Northern plain of Indra, For the past 4 Months every day in the first week 10 meteorites strike Indra, in the same location as if they are being delivered, and from the past months our satellites picked up an increase in growth in Indra's military activities as if they are getting ready for war, the states have asked and warned Indra to lower their military activities in the border, But Indra has denied them all."
"Mr.Presifent I am very confused what does this has to do with me?" I asked.
President replied. "TISTA Industries which is owned by your Father-In-Law has a close connection with the President of Indra, we suspect that TISTA is getting support from the president of Indra, TISTA which was almost on the brink of bankruptcy suddenly made a billion-dollar recovery selling military-grade equipment to Panthosthan. We want you to visit Indra, as your working profession makes it perfect to work with your father-in-law" He looks me in the eye for an answer.
"You want me to be a spy?.. I can't do it" I said
"You have to do it for the country son" The president replied
"I can't lie to my wife and besides I don't have that kind of relationship with my father-in-law, Even my wife has not talked with her father for years, we cannot just show up it's ridiculous," I said while looking at the President who still has his hand crossed.
"I told you this guy can't do it it's a waste of our time." The admiral said.
