Chapter 12 - Chapter 12-Forgotten Disaster (1)

[Location: Siberia, Waterfall Cave, Deep Inside The Cave]

[5:32 AM, July 9, 2849, CE]

"All of you get up, the hailstorm has stopped, 3 hours of rest should be enough, and get inside your 'Quantum Warframe' ASAP" Alaya said as she entered her 'Quantum Warframe' as Mobius followed behind her, entering the 'Quantum Warframe' as all the artificial humans entered their own respective 'Quantum Warframe'.

"Are all of you inside the 'Quantum Warframe' because we will need to go full speed out of here as we get out of the waterfall?" Alaya said on the radio while she looked at the hologram of the entire Siberia, while Mobius herself was watching the tablet in her hand intently as if searching for someone.

As she looked at it, she saw what she wanted to see. It was a woman with white hair and yellow eyes, wearing a black trench coat and a black sword with a white sword at her back. This person exudes an aura of seriousness and composedness when looking at her. But Mobius seemed to be angered when she saw her face, as she threw the tablet inside the vehicle as it accidentally pressed the button for detonation, almost hitting the emotionless artificial human in the driver's seat while also destroying the tablet.

"Kyaa! Wha- what was that for Mobius? Is there something bothering you? Is my plan not good enough? Did you see any flaw in it? Please tell me. I don't want to see you angry" Alaya said, as she was afraid of what just happened. After all, this is her first time seeing Mobius this angry.

"Ah, no, I'm sorry if I've scared you, Alaya, but can I hug you for a bit?" Mobius said as she leaped at Alaya and limped in Alaya's hand as if she just lost every ounce of her energy.

"What just happened? I know that you're not the type to throw something even if you're angry, so what happened?" Alaya asked as if wanting to comfort Mobius current predicament.

"I just saw an old face I don't want to see" Mobius said as she closed her eyes, as if trying to forget what she just saw.

"Is that so? Then rest as much as you want" Alaya said, tempting Mobius to rest in her arms.

"No, it's ok" Mobius said as she got off of Alaya's arm and sat properly, although making Alaya sad at the sudden separation she allows her nonetheless.

"But what about the tablet?" Alaya asked as she looked at the broken tablet on the floor.

"It's ok, the button has been pushed when I accidentally throw it, so it's usage is already done, and we have no need for it" Mobius said as she took a piece of the broken tablet on the floor and threw out the broken pieces in the window one by one.

"Umm, so commander, when are we going to start moving?" the emotionless artificial human said as he looked at Alaya.

"Ahh! That's right, All Group D, full speed ahead, our destination is the Frozen Lake to enter the old remnants of the past humanity had created" Alaya said, as all the 'Quantum Warframe' ran past through the waterfalls one by one, splashing the 'Quantum Warframe' with nitrogen as it does not affect the 'Quantum Warframe' as all of them became invincible.

[Location: Siberia, Ruins Of Mobius Labs]

[5:38 AM, July 9, 2849, CE]

"Cough! Cough! Cough! It seems you don't even want to see me, even just through a camera" The woman that Mobius saw in the camera, as it seemed the explosions did not even affect her at all, looked at the ruins, trying to find something. She dug through the rubble with her own hands, lifting huge chucks of metal and throwing it farther away from her location as she saw what she wanted to find.

It's a picture frame of a family, the Mobius family. There she saw in the picture frame a family of three, there a tall and handsome-looking grandpa with white hair and yellow eyes, a little girl with green hair and green eyes with a slit pupil that seemed to be arrogant yet cheerful at the same time, and a shy little girl with white hair and yellow eyes smiling like how every happy family would be.

"At least you did not throw or burn this away" the white-haired woman said as she looked at the sun rising over the horizon as she hid the picture frame deep within her trench coat.

"Madam! Look what I found!" said the red-haired woman as she held the item she found high in the air.

"Oh, for god's sake, I hope it's not another long stick, is it? This is already 8 times this day, and it's early in the morning" the white-haired woman said as if not wanting anymore of the shenanigans of her colleague early in the morning.

"No, madam, just look, see" the red-haired woman said as she showed the white-haired woman what she was currently holding. As the white-haired woman saw it, she was stunned, as if seeing something impossible that should not happen at all. She is holding a super-premium deluxe cigarette that has been discontinued since 2687.

"You, how! and where did you get the super-premium deluxe cigarette that should have disappeared in the annals of history" the white woman said, demanding an answer as her hand rattled as it pointed at the cigarette in the red-haired woman's hands.

"I found it at the rubbles when you are looking at the picture frame trait, and tell me what's in the picture frame anyway" The red-haired woman answered as she asked the question, What's in the picture frame? as the white-haired woman took away the cigarettes from the red-haired woman's hands.

"No smoking at the job" the white-haired woman said as she hid the cigarettes inside her trench coat.

"Eh? Wait, sigh, never mind, my question is still there, so can you tell me?" The red-haired woman wanted to know about the picture frame itself.

"Behind the picture frame, there's encrypted information that is quite sensitive for someone in your position, so don't question this picture frame.

"Ok~~, Then I'll regroup with the other group that might still be alive, then bye" the red-haired woman said as she left the area.

"To think you hide such a precious cigarette, Mobius, well, you had my thanks for this when I killed you by my own hands" the white-haired woman said as she took the cigarettes out of her trench coat and lit one of the cigarettes as she puffed the smoke out of her mouth.
