Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Emma's furious yell scared the shit out of both the Guards and the Ghost Hunters. When he raised his head from the book, he saw numerous eyes looking at him. The air froze, no one could breathe, looking at one person while the other person was looking at them. First Guard's back was drenched in cold sweats. He wanted to take a step but he found it difficult. The cool forest began to suffocate them. 

What made them disturb me?

Are we under attack or what?

What's wrong with the commander?

Is the commander ok?

"Zeus, what's going on," Emma whispered.

[[Master, I have been trying to wake you up for the past 1 hour. But you fail to respond.]]

What!

"What do you mean! I only stare at the book for a couple of minutes. Wait…"

[[I couldn't detect any anomalies from the helmet readings. But I couldn't understand why you failed to answer me.]]

"So…. It is more than 1 hour that I have been studying the book…." The realization dawn on him and he looked at the book and shivered. 'What kind of book is this. It felt so real…'

Meanwhile, everyone was looking at Emma with various thoughts running in their head. No one knew what to do. They wait for the commander to continue speaking but he went silent again. Is he ok? 

Shit! Is the commander affected by that strange world?

This bad. The commander is not alright.

That fucking beast may have affected the commander's mind. 

Is he going nuts? What are we going to do?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Emma's voice woke them from their negative thought.

Hmm!

The Ghost Hunters looked at Emma skeptically, trying to dissect him with their eyes. Emma stood up and ignored their gaze. He looked at the First Guard and asked. "Is everything ok?"

"Y-Yes… Yes." First Guard stuttered. 

Emma shook his head. "Relax. Nothing happened to me." His gaze moved from one person to another. "if you wanna sleep here. Be my guess. But if not, get your ass moving."

What! 

The sudden change in Emma's attitude surprised everyone. But they quickly recovered from the initial shock and looked at each other. This is the commander they knew. Since he's back. There is nothing for them to worry about. Quickly, they went back to their post and began the evacuation. 

"How long are we gone," Emma asked the First Guard.

The First Guard had regained his bearing. He straightened his back. "3 days." He answered calmly. 

'Huh… 3 days. That world is really strange.'

Watching the evacuation of the crates and every other thing. Emma thought went back to the book. 'Did I lose myself or did the book make me.' He looked at the other guards and sighed. "What's going on in vulture. Are there any notable changes when I'm gone?" He asked the First Guard.

"Em…" First Guards open his mouth but the word failed to come out. He turn his head and looked at the other guards but they avoid his gaze. 'Assholes!'

Seeing this, Emma raised his brow. 'I knew something is going on. But why can't they tell me? Anyway, I will surely find out.'

[[Master, I will tell you everything when you return.]]

Hearing Zeus, Emma waves his hand. "Forget about it." he looked in a particular direction. "Mabel"

When Mabel heard her name, she looked at her commander and wondered why she was called. But that didn't matter. At once, she moved with large strides and appeared before Emma. "Commander."

"Follow me" Emma left the middle of the knights.

When they arrived at a secluded spot, not far from the opening. He gave her the book. "Try to study the lines and tell me what you think." He opened to the first page. Seeing this, Mabel raised her head and stared at the commander for a few seconds but took the book. What can possibly go wrong? She stare at strange words but couldn't understand a thing. However, she quickly forgets about the strange words and studies the lines. 

Time wisp by gradually while Emma's gaze never left Mabel's face. It was only 3 minutes and there were beads of sweat on her face. Seeing this, Emma knew the book was no ordinary book. 'What kind of book is this!' He shouted in his mind. 

"Commander, we're set to go." First Guard informed. When he saw the same previous book on Mabel's hand. He shivered and retreated quickly. He noticed how lost she was. 'What the hell is going on.' 

"Ok." Emma did not bother to look at him. He slapped Mabel gently and took the book from her hand.

Hmm!

Mabel blinked her eyes continuously, trying to recover from the world of the lines. When her eyes set on Emma, she shivered. Without saying, she understands what the commander was trying to prove. "That…"

"Yes. How long do you think you study the lines."

"A couple of seconds or so."

"5 minutes."

What! 

"Yea." Emma sighed. "Let go." He turned his back and left the dumbfounded Mabel. 'There are a lot of things to learn.'

When Emma and Mabel came out of the forest. The others are already ready in the truck. Emma walked calmly toward his black car while Mabel was yet to recover from the shock. She entered the truck and sat quietly in one corner. 'How did the commander withstand that… for more than 1 hour.' Her head buzz, heavy from overclocking. She felt dizzy when she tried to remember those lines. 'Why can't I remember a single stroke!' She cried in her mind and doze off. 

[[Master, I have prepared a separate base for the knights and the crates.]]

"Why!"

[[Master, you will understand when you return.]]

Emma did not utter a word. He was waiting patiently for his return to the sanctuary. He knew something was not right. but he couldn't wrap his finger around it. after thinking about it for some minutes. He forgot about it and chose to relax. After a couple of minutes, he arrived at Desert street and saw some notable changes but kept quiet. 

 When Emma arrived at the sanctuary. He didn't go to the control room at all. First, he took a 30 minutes bath and find himself some food. When his head touch the pillow, he dozed off, snoring like a mega speaker. 

After sleeping for more than 24 hours and stuffing himself with food. "I missed this." He muttered, sitting on his favorite chair inside the control room. "Zeus, now tell what the hell is going on.?" He asked calmly.

[[CommandIntel has ceased from functioning. Amanda has been arrested.]]

What!
