Chapter 20 - Episode 20: System Under Control

 

"Oh honey~. Look at this…. this is beautiful…wow…it's so soft! ~…Never in a million years, I thought that I can wear something like this…. Maybe I can only use this whilst in home, right?". (Natasha)

 

"The outside, is just too dirty for that dress, Nat…perhaps you can wear them. Once we make a better place for us…".

 

It was the next day after our first outing together, and we come back as a millionaire and coming today, I go back to just be a regular high-income man. I have bought 2 electric generators, that I am very much sure that it would power the entire shelter and even some more stuff. When the delivery comes, Natasha was extremely happy, as I have bought her an expensive, V-Secret Lingerie's, underwear's and even the silks G-Brand one piece dress. Which she wears in an instant and come to show me her new dress with a beaming smile on her face.

 

"Yeah, you should…if it's you…you can make it easily…anyway…I'm think I am going to try to cook us this, Instant Noddle for our lunch…". (Natasha)

 

"Okay…I'll be stuck here for a little bit…".

 

Happy wife, Happy life I guess, as she went to cook for our lunch, that is the Maggie Instant Noodle, which is for me not much of lunch menus, but for her, a new kind of food would surely get her hooked. After all, in her entire life the only kind of food that she had ever eaten is just dried meat stew, dried meat, hard sour dough bread that were made by purple wheat, and water. She didn't know about any sort of food that there are out there, so I am now slowly introducing these new menus to her. Also, she enjoyed cooking, and a new menus and new kind of food really do keep her going.

 

"…alright…the wire is all connected and plugged in…if this generator won't do…. then, we need to buy another bigger one…".

 

"[ It should be enough, Sir…. this is an Icuzu Genset 50kVa, this should be sufficient enough. It is durable, powerful and it can definitely run for a long time without any issues…. we can run this for 24 hours without a problem…]". (Alfred)

 

The Genset is quite big, but the room were big enough, after much consideration, I've decided to buy 2 50kVa Genset and put them side by side, thankfully by putting them against the left wall, the room were still have a lot of space, the plan was to run this generator for 24 hours, each generator will run for 12 hours and then turned off to cool them down, so one run for 12 hours then another one will resume operation, naturally It would need to be operated manually for now.

 

"Nat! come inside here! we are about to start!".

 

"I'm here, honey…Here's your gun…". (Natasha)

 

It is time for us to finally powered this Bunker, so for safety, I called Natasha to join me in this power Supply room and bring the firearms with her. In preparation to take over the ownership of the shelter, I plug my smartphone to one of the Terminal in the control room, as soon as the power is turn on, Alfred would hack into the Terminal computer mainframe and take over the entire thing. We don't know what will happen when the power comes back on, I am sure that the bunker system would react to intruders, there's also that Military Automaton inside he Control room, who can tell, that when the power turned on, that Automaton would just go ballistic.

 

"...…the door is close, and I'm ready, Honey...". (Natasha)

 

Closing the thick, Noise canceling and blast proof door, Natasha told me as she took a ready position, ready to fire at any threat that might burst through that door.

 

"Alright, Alfred…I'm turning it on…".

 

"[I'm ready when you are, sir...]". (Alfred)

 

"Powering in..3…2…1......vroommmmm~!!!…".

 

With just a push of a button, the Genset started and the diesel-powered generator, were doing its job wonderfully.

 

"TIK! TIK…zzzzzmmm~….".

 

"Oh, shit…. the power…. it's on….".

 

I watched in excitement as the lights inside the Power Supply room comes on, it was shining brightly, after blinking multiple times, the humming electrical noise also started to echoed all around us. I never thought that I would feel excited to see an electric light turned on.

 

"Wow…. Honey, look…. the lights it turns on…. it's so bright, I never seen it so close…". (Natasha)

 

"It's not just the lights, Nat..the entire bunkers were powered on now…".

 

"WEEEE!!!…WWWREEEE!!!…. WEEEE!!!…".

 

And all of a sudden, the entire bunker started to just blasted with red lights and alarm blaring very loudly. The warm florescent lights in Power supply room also turned warning red.

 

"Alfred, what is going on? Speak to me.".

 

"[ The Bunker safety measures were triggered as soon as the power came on…. but, rest assured, sir…I am already taking control of the entire system…. everything will be fine, sir…taking over such outdated computer systems, is not a big deal. For someone like me…do wait for my signal, before you and Madam comes out…]". (Alfred)

 

A second after Alfred speaks to me, the warning systems turns off, the lights are back to normal and the warning alarm died. We waited inside the room for a little bit more, just to be on the safe side. About 3 minutes, passes by the shut door, were opened slowly from the outside.

 

"It's an Automaton! …Get back, Honey!". (Natasha)

 

In an instance, Natasha aimed at the Automaton, she was about to fire, before I come to her side and stopped her.

 

"Wait, Nat…. hold on for a sec…...Alfred! Is that you?".

 

The door was swing opened fully, and it was the same Military Automaton from the control room.

 

"IT IS ME, SIR…I AM ABLE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE BUNKER AND EVERYTHING IN IT, SIR….IT IS NOW SAFE TO COME OUT…". (Alfred/Military Automaton)

 

The Automaton were Alfred, comically, he was talking like a robot, just flat robotic voice, unlike what he used to be.

 

"Thank god, it is you, Alfred…why did you possess an Automaton? did you know that I was just about to shoot you?". (Natasha)

 

"I AM SORRY, MADAM…I AM TO EXCITED TO HAVE A NEW BODY...HO.HO. HO…...BY THE WAY, SIR…". (Alfred)

 

"What is it, Alfred?".

 

Since the situation were under control, we left the power supply room, closing the door behind us, Natasha head back to the Living area, perhaps to continue with her cooking, Alfred and I were head to the Control Room.

 

"I NEED A LOT OF LUBRICATION FLUID…NEARLY ALL THE JOINT WERE STUCKED DUE TO DRYNESS…THIS AUTOMATON, AND THE ENTIRE BUNKERS AS WELL…NEED A LOT OF REPAIR AND UPDATE...". (Alfred)

 

"I guess, we should buy you some, right…".

 

He really needs to maintained that body of his, the way he moves were so awkward, that it seemed that he was constantly lagging. For Alfred I am sure that once I provides all the things that he needed, he can figure out to repair himself.

 

"So…what happened with the warning just now?".

 

"WHEN THE POWER COME BACK ON…THE BUNKER SYSTEM, DETECTED YOU AND MADAM AS AN INTRUDERS, AND THEN, THE SYSTEM ALSO DETECTED THAT THERE IS NO COMMANDING OFFICER AND ALSO THERE IS NO CHAIN OF COMMAND LEFT TO TAKE AN ORDER FROM...IMMEDIATELY THE BUNKER SYSTEM DECIDED TO START SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCES…". (Alfred)

 

"Oh…okay…".

 

"NATURALLY, I STOPPED EVERYTHING, AND TAKE CONTROL THE ENTIRE BUNKER IN JUST 5 SECONDS…". (Alfred)
