Mr. Pram was totally confused here. If his records served him right, he didn't order anything for his wife's company,not to mention the gentlemen standing before him.
"Well??" Agent John asked
"I am totally confused here because when I contacted SemiCo Industries, I ordered only 50,000 tonnes of each of the cargo I talked about earlier. That's all. I can even show you the receipts." Mr. Pram said as he reached into the drawer below his desk and pulled out some papers and handed them over to them. The two agent took them, examined them and began to giggle.
"Now what's so funny?" Mr. Pram asked with a tone of annoyance in his voice.
"Here, look at this." Agent Richmond said to him.
He looked and surprisingly, the alien shipment was there. Four octaplex nanoslot high powered super computers. All with 10 petabyte storage capacity and 5Thz processing speed. How these devils got embedded in his shipment he had no idea. But one thing was for sure. His wife. Why she needed these titants and for what, he had no idea.
"Wait until until my hands on her!" He thought to himself.
"So what do you say?" Agent Richmond asked him.
"Umm, well uh it was some extra part of the shipment we needed as well, but the company told us we can't be assured of their arrival. So I did not expect them to arrive. Now that they're here, it's a good thing. I can start my project right away." Mr. Pram said to them.
"Well thank your stars you didn't start your project right away." Agent John said.
"Why?"
"Because all shipments form that particular cargo ship were rigged with high-tech snoopers and tracers. And the interesting part? They were from Al-Zay terrorist group." Agent John said.
The instant you plug power cables into those monsters, the snoopers would be activated and your cute facility will now be on the radar of Al-Zay". Agent Richmond added.
"That's new, how can these toys be made clean again?" Mr. Pram asked.
"Our specialists are waiting. If you want to clean your devices, we are ready to assist you." Agent John said.
Mr. Pram then resided in his thoughts.
""That's odd. They just failed my credibility test and besides, these machines are for my wife not me, so I can't just allow these completely questionable people to lay their fingers on such a hydra of a computer."
"Okay, here's what we're going to do" he said to them. "Bring your team tomorrow. It's almost sundown and it's getting dark. Let's do that tomorrow." Mr. Pram looked for something to say to them.
"If you say so, then tomorrow we shall be here with our team. A word of caution though. Do not tell anyone of this meeting. Al-Zay has upgraded their tactics and we're struggling to keep up with them. Also don't forget to call us should you need any further information." Agent Richmond said as he handed Mr. Pram a card. The two agents left his office and disappeared from sight. Quickly, he grabbed the nearest phone and called his secretary.
"Come over here now" he said.
In less than a minute she was in his office.
"Tell everyone in this facility to move to the central complex. I will be there shortly.
"Okay sir. " She answered and turned away.
When he was sure the two agents from CAID were well away, he went to address his employees.
"People, tomorrow some technicians from the CAID will be visiting us to perform some tests on our newly acquired hardware. Now I want you all to show no hostility towards them. I want them to be treated with utmost respect and one last thing. Tomorrow, when coming, come along with a light weapon. Something that can't kill, but can immobilize movement." He addressed his employees.
"Any questions?"
A hand went up.
"Why should we come armed tomorrow?" An employee asked.
"On that issue, you guys will find out for yourselves tomorrow." He answered.
A general grumble went up, but he quieted it down quickly.
"Please listen to me. It is for your own good and the good of this facility as well.
Heads of the various security departments, please meet me in my office. You are all dismissed" he closed the meeting.
Some minutes later, the tensee security officers were in his office.
"Now listen here all of you. I want the new piece of hardware that came in today to be sent to the underground storage site. That's it." Mr. Pram ordered them.
"Sir, it will take 3 hours to move all there and the time is quarter past four, less than an hour to shutdown the plant. Gregory said to his boss. Gregory was the Chief Security Officer and all security related issues were directed at him.
"Well, stretch your closing times a but. Due to this extra work, your salary will be different." Mr. Pram tried convincing them.
"Okay. We will do that pronto. I believe that is all?" Gregory asked.
"Nothing else. Thanks for complying. You may go." Mr. Pram dismissed them.
"Hey G."
"Hello dad"
"Are you and your squad ready?
"On-point. Everything is in order"
"Good, tomorrow when you guys behave, I will get you an octaplex KCG1 laptop."
An excited Godsway could not hide his joy.
"Alright dad. Tomorrow at 7am, we will arrive"
"We will be expecting you guys"
"Bye dad"
"Later".
The instant General Smith hunged up, Godsway jumped so high his head nearly hit the ceiling
"Hey hey!! Do not break our ceiling for us. Why?" Abdullah shouted at him
"Don't mind him. Maybe he just won a jackpot." Kwame said.
The three friends were in the cadet room rehearsing some commands for the trip to the Crocodile barrack tomorrow. Godsway just landed from the sky, giggled and went back to his seat. Some few minutes later, Joey joined them.
"Hey Godsway" he called out as he exchanged hands with the friends there.
"Yo bros, how far?" Godsway asked
"5Km." Joey jokingly replied him
The friends laughed about it and continued their studies.
"After our last paper, we're going to Reach Lodge for some popping of champagnes. You know, stuff like that." Joey continued
"Oh, count us in. Wouldn't miss it for the world." Abdullah shouted from the corner the of the room.
"Cool. So we will need you guys to help keep sanity over there. Incase some bunch of people decide to go rouge. Abi you get what I'm saying." Joey asked
"Oh, yes. Don't worry. We'd be there. I believe it is only going to be the final year students. Or?" Kwame asked.
"Yeah, right. It's only final years'." Joey replied.
"Okay, cool deal. I'd get the others and let them know." Godsway said.
"Thanks men, you guys are the best. See you later." Joey said as he walked out of the cadet room to attend other businesses.
