Chapter 18 - Transmission Prime

One of the three big city's, a vast, sterile complex, a righteous example to the society's unwavering pursuit of order and efficiency, built to prioritise communication. Building's made of chrome and glass gleam under the glistening sun, casting long, sterile shadows across the perfectly manicured grounds. Inside the city, there is not an ounce of pollution, the air crisp with cleanliness, filtered of everything, devoid of warmth. Filled with a complex network of interconnected building's allowing the ceaseless flow of information. After a long ride, Rose finally reaches the city, not long before her meeting. Driving along the road the scenery begin's to change, from the empty countryside to the bustling city. As the view get's ever closer and closer Rose state's "Would you like to split off for a bit when we arrive, so you can explore?" A simple question, hopefully a yes she think's to try get him to leave before the meeting. "Yes, if that is okay, i would like to explore if possible?" Noah replies. A solemn smile reaches Rose's face as she glance's over. "I will drop you off then, but we need to think of where to meet, if you want to meet up again?" Hopefully a yes. Looking back ahead she hear's a chuckle from her side. "Of course we will see each other again, but could it be tomorrow, i would like to try find my own place tonight, get some experience y'know" In her own mind she cannot disagree with it, it make's sense. "That's fine, why don't we meet midday tomorrow at the museum" Quickly racking her mind for the safest place's to meet, this is the one that come's to mind, there should be few people, not much security, and wide access, a perfect location. "That seem's fine by me, but one issue. I have no idea where it is" Noah slightly laughing which is soon joined by Rose, "Sorry, i forgot, how about this, we park up and i help you find a map, then we go our separate way's for a bit?" As the laughter die's down Noah states. "That would be lovely, let's do that." A few minute's pass until Rose finally find's a suitable car park. Securing the car they begin to look for a map, a few minute's pass as they lightly chatter whilst Rose keep's an eye out for a simple map shop. Stumbling across one they enter. "You can look around Noah whilst i buy you a map" Responding with a nod he walk's away seemingly looking at everything he come's across. Smiling to herself Rose head's to the counter to buy a map. Paying for it she turn's around to see Noah in conversation with a stranger, walking over she tap's his shoulder to gain his attention. "Sorry to interrupt but i got the map", seeing his smile he look's back over to the stranger "I have to go now, nice to meet you though" Both turning around they leave the shop. "Here's the map, the museum is labelled, you can't miss it" Rose say's as she hand's over map. "Well, i will take my leave then" Noah respond's whilst taking the map. Walking up to her, he hug's her, ignoring the stare's from around, Rose return's the hug. "I will see you tomorrow then" Noah say's whilst walking away. "Yes, yes you will" Rose replies with a frown now adorning her face. 

Moving through the street's to pass the time i look around, for any sign's of Mr Collins. Walking up to a crossing i wait for the light to change, a few second's pass until i start to move, half way across i get pushed out the way as a man barges past, about to retort he whispers "Follow me" Immediately knowing why, i follow, even though it was rude. A few minute's pass until we reach a building, it look's like a plain old building, it really does blend in. Following the man through the door, we begin to walk throughout the building until we come across a set of double door's. Not even turning to face me he state's "We are here" Watching him open the door i follow close behind. Observing the room i see a bunch of people inside, wearing gear, armour?, weaponry. What is this, a barrack. Scanning the room is see Mr Collins. Making my way through the crowd i finally reach him. "I am here, on time, what is it you wanted to discuss" Turning to face me he smile's retorting "Good to see you again, follow me to the conference room, i will explain everything there" Taking my arm he drag's me through the crowd until we reach another door, god how many are there in this building. Entering he take's me to a round table, motioning for me to sit. Scanning the table is see a bunch of people, but these are not covered in weaponry, it must be that these people are more like general's or commander's. "Is this the person Mr Collins?" one of them voice's, as Mr Collins only nod's in reply. Heading to the head of the table he begin's. "This is a re-brief for everyone, but an explanation for Rose" Watching his gaze look at me he seem's to smirk slightly. "Tonight at midnight we will be meeting the rest of our comrades within Transmission Prime to head toward's and free Dr Goult, we have blueprint's of the building he is being held in, so we have the most direct route which team 1 will be taking to collect Dr goult. Team 2 will be making sure there are no physical trace's left behind, this could be as small as a hair. Team 3 will be the digital team where they shut down the network for the building, and only this one, however the military will be alerted within 5 minutes if no data is passed through the building so we have a tight gap. This leave's our escape route to be the underground tunnel's, and i have confirmed previously with Dr Goult the existence of these tunnel's. We should reach the building at roughly 4am. Another advantage that recently came to light is that a few high end individual's within the government are missing, so this make's it even more of a prime time to do it. And i am sure you are wondering where you come into this. You will be your own team, we, the rebellion ask for you to be our leader, we know who you are, we know of your work and the hidden meaning's. And we give you this opportunity to make your dream's come true, so what say you?" Mr Collins finishes, It is a lot to take in, i will have to postpone meeting Noah, sadly. But i have to, not for myself, not for Noah, but for everyone. "I will join you"
