As they neared the city's outskirts, a guard's voice pierced through the air, freezing Alexander in his tracks. "Stop right there!"
His heart pounded in his chest as adrenaline surged through his veins. The realization hit him—he was on the brink of capture, teetering on the edge of a precipice that threatened to shatter his hopes of uncovering the truth.

Alexander turned around to see if he was already Surrounded by guards houvever to his surprise there were only one. This guard has a height of 175 centimeters and possesses a physique that can be described as unremarkably average. His physical appearance doesn't draw much attention due to its nondescript nature, making him blend in seamlessly with the crowd. Alexander didn't want to waste more time in the city .
" What are you doing there? what is that on your shoulder ? Come here ", the guard said with a demending tone .
sight,' looks like the problems won't come to an end soon ' Alexander thought to himself . He then started slowly walking toward the guard however the he wasn't planning on getting captured after what he went throught this loop . When he was 10 meters away from the guard he quickly threw a gaz bomb and without wasting any time he run towad the gates with his highest speed .
[finally some action ] ,Alex commented
"Stop joking around , I'm about to get in real trouble if you don't get serious" ,Alexander remarked while throwing multiple gaz bombs . It took less 10 seconds for the yard to completly getting covered with smoke .
[fine now what?], AI said with a bit of disappointment
" Use the night vision on the drones and lead me outside of this city", Alexander suggested with confidence .
He used this chance wisely and with the help of Alex he managed to leave the city before the smoke was gone. however he didn't stop running just to make sure he escaped successfully. Alexander's head was thinking about something and as always he was interruptes by Alex's voice in his haid :
[wow , what a hero! I'm totally stunned by your performence there you acted like you're some kind of protagonist, Suddenly throwing a gaz bomb and started runing aimlessly. What a brilliant plan as usal] ,the AI said with sarcastic tone .
" what a plan said !! says someone who never suggested a plan and to your knowlege it was a calculated . I've taken the best action there . Didn't you notice that security was way inferior to when we first came . There supposed to be at least 15 guard there guarding the gate but there were only 5. It's likely because after the attack many guards died and most of them are injured . So what I did was u--",Alexander explained before he was interrupted by Alex.
[yeah yeah what a great move from a great hero. Cut the crap , I know that you thought of this argument after we left the city . Your heart beats rate were around 130 beats per minute and to your information during fear or anxiety the person's heart beat rate often range from 100 to 150 beats per minute which means you were scared and didn't know what on the hell you were doing ],Alex said mockingly
"Well , I wouldn't deny that I was anxious at that time but how can you blame me , I mean who wouldn't get worried at times like that . Moreover , as I've told you I didn't act without thinking , it was all calculated ", Alexander answered
[ok ,ok , and now what is the plan mister einstien ?],the AI asked derisively.
" I swear I'm going to shut you down when I arrive at the spaceship", Alexander declaired angrely.
[fine , I'll stop . I was trying to lighten you mood ],said the AI.
"Who the hell programmed your sense of humor to be so shitty like this?!" Alexander exclaimed, his voice strained as he sprinted at full speed. He couldn't help but wonder who was behind the AI's often dry and biting wit. However, his curiosity about the AI's origins was momentarily overshadowed by a flood of questions about the recent attack. How had the attackers entered the city undetected? How many of them had participated in this assault? And what could possibly be their motives? Were they aiming to assassinate the king, or did they have a different, hidden agenda?
These questions reverberated through Alexander's mind like a relentless drumbeat as he raced towards his spaceship. Each question carried the weight of uncertainty and the gnawing desire for answers.
[Are you puzzled trying to figure out the reason for the invasion?], Alex inquired, cutting through Alexander's thoughts with its usual analytical tone.
"Honestly, yeah," Alexander admitted, his brow furrowing in deep thought. "There are so many unknowns, so many pieces of the puzzle that don't fit. I'm trying to piece it all together with my limited knowledge of this invasion, but it's like trying to solve a complex riddle."
[Don't worry, buddy,] Alex reassured, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty. [All these questions will be answered once we've interrogated the attackers.]
"Hopefully," Alexander replied, a touch of optimism in his voice as he pressed on. His legs burned with exhaustion, but his determination remained unwavering.
They continued their conversation while Alexander occasionally slowed to catch his breath, the concerns about the attack still weighing heavily on his mind. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he stood in front of his spaceship. Without wasting a moment, he hurried inside and placed the captured attacker in the interrogation room. He then turned to Alex, instructing the AI to prepare the procedure for extracting the attacker's memories, a vital step in unraveling the mystery that had engulfed them.
In the midst of their relentless pursuit of answers and the urgent preparations for the interrogation, Alexander and the AI remained oblivious to an unsettling reality. Unbeknownst to them, unwelcome company had quietly infiltrated their sanctuary - the spaceship.
A shadowy presence lurked in the dimly lit corners, hidden in the labyrinthine passages of the vessel. Their every move observed, their every whispered plan overheard. The intruders, their motives veiled in secrecy, held their breath, biding their time. Alexander, consumed by his quest for the truth, was yet to fathom the imminent threat lurking onboard.
What intentions did these mysterious interlopers harbor, and how had they managed to slip past undetected? As Alexander readied for the interrogation, a clandestine game of cat and mouse had commenced, raising the stakes of an already enigmatic journey.
