I chase the helicopter, yaw to meet the pilot window at the left. Valiant was there, staring at me, he had the expression of confusion. I pitch under the copter and my my way west back to Orlando.
On the east side of the ocean, there was drones but they had a white shine, Texas’s drones?
I boost on a five straight to the city, onto Croc Station.

I descent safely to the workshop, there are the Texans soldiers and APCs and some officers with Yannic and Vollers. They have a portable monitor station and on screen is the Boyee island.
As I step on the ground, some looked at me. A soldier pops out and said, “Lue is here.”. Yannic sitting with a Texas drone pilot turn his head to me, his sleepy face mumbled, “Oh good job.”.
That soldier came up to me and ask, “Did Tyna, did it? Did she stop the missiles from going off by... punching it?”. I replied with displease, “Yes.”.
Mason came in and said, “She was a good soldier, real good. Maybe even the best.”. I smiled, “I’m just happy how she ended up.”. Mason said with a deeper tone, “What did you just said?”. Other Texas soldiers look at me with a gritty look.
I express, “No wait. That is not what I meant. I mean I’m glad that she found you and found a home and became a better person. Trust me, I would actually would have loved for her to still be alive.”. Mason said, “Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry.”.
Yannic phone ringed a catchy tone, he mumbled, “Sorry.”. He picked it up. I ask quietly to the drone pilot, “So all those drones are yours right.”. The pilot replied, “Yup.”. Yannic uttered, “Yeah. She is with me right now.”. Listen more, then said, “Okay.”. He pass the phone to me, he said, “Its for you.”. I ask, “Who is it?”. Yannic said, “They claim they know you. Hiddens?”.
I took the phone and said, “Hello, who is this?”. A strange autotoned voice spoke, “You are pretty good, I’ve been hearing a lot about you Lue. The others, heh, I mean one was convinced by a chubby geek. But you, you are special, very special.”. I remarked, “Kessa?”. The voice spoke more, “Time will come to tell what destiny have in store for you, K three. But I just have one question. Where is one and four now?”. I state, “They are... descended. They don’t have to worry about you now.”. The voiced laughed, then state, “Soon, very soon, maybe not this year, maybe not the next but will see what destiny have in store for you.”. Then they hang up.
I gave the phone back to Yannic, he ask, “Who was it?”. I said, “It may have been Kessa.”. Yannic remarked, “The original?”. Mason state, “I prefer just mother, or father.”. I said, “No, its a she, and I think it may be her. I wasn’t sure because the voice was autotone.”. Yannic mumbled, “But how did she got did phone number? Then again, I am quite popular. Data mining?”
I state as I clap my hands, “Well, I did away with Lucy, but unfortunately, most of the Palitians killed themselves. I’m going to go inside and relax.”. Mason said, “Wait, we gotta celebrate together.”. I said, “No its okay, I’ll just lay down. Maybe play some games. Just... me time.”. I take off my suit, then entered the office second to the large room with the two couches. I put on my scarf, lay down and cried.
After my sobbing, I grab my laptop and read random pages on the internet that I have on my many tabs.

Its 3:48 PM, the people in the back are parting, then a helicopter rotors descent to the area, Valiant? I got up, Yannic is sleeping on the desktop room couch. Daniel came to the room, he ask me, “Hey, do you know who landed on the parking lot, did you call someone here?”. I state, “Its most likely Valiant.”.
I step to the back, guys drinking beers and Vollers showing off their Volates. I saw on the parking lot the same helicopter that Valiant flew.
It was him, Valiant coming out the copter and yelled, “Hello?”. Mason step in and shout, “What do you want?”. Valiant inform, “K one...”. Mason said, “Yeah, we know.”. I came to the front, I said, “Where is Hassen?”. Valiant said, “Do you really... care? Why did you threw him to the craft?”. Hassen came out of the copter, blood all over his legs. Mason said, “Oh howdy, you have no... dick.”. One soldier laughed, then remark, “Wow.”.
Daniel came out and said, “Of course she cared, the Voller cried after the war, or spy work, whatever.”. I insist, “No its okay.”. Valiant remark, “Cry?”. Then took a good look at us.
I whispered to Daniel, “He doesn’t like people... like me.”. Daniel remarked, “Yeah.”. Valiant took something out of his chest and threw it on the ground, breaking it. He shout, “This is bullshit.”. The crowd made grunts. I ask, “What do you mean?”.
Valiant said, “I would get Hassen a doctor. But also I’m done with the hiddens. If they hunt me down and let it be. You have the right to have a happy life just like everybody else.”. He then walk away.
Two soldiers walk up to Hassen. Mason question, “Do you think he meant it?”. I said, “Maybe.”.
Music started to play from other parts of the urbanscape. Mason said, “Look like the Florida people are having a celebration as well.”. I ask, “You saw that stream right, with the guy at the missile bay?”. Mason reply, “Our research team kept an eye on every stream the Palites make, it really hurts their secretes.”. I chuckled.
The soldiers grabbed Hassen, one speaking, “Call nine one one.”.
Mason said, “Do you have any idea why he is in his baby suit and is missing his lizard?”. I said, “He has... problems... also he was raped by Lucy... cut his bone out of distress.”. Mason respond, “Ouch.”.
The soldiers bring Hassen to the front. The people discuss of him. I turned away and onto the garage, Daniel follows me. I ask him, “Hey, do you know why everyone is here.”. Daniel said, “Yannic called them here because he wanted to discuss with Mason for business deals and to protect him from hiddens.”. I remarked, “I see.”.
Yannic came out of the garage, he uttered, “Did a helicopter land here?”. I said, “Yes, Valiant and Hassen. Valiant have gone his own way, no longer interested in us and Hassen is going to the hospital.”. Yannic sighed and said, “I need to tell him something. Why is he going to the care?”. Daniel said, “He chopped his wang.”. Yannic face palmed, “Oh my fucking.”. Took his hand off his face, then said, “Lets go.”. I said, “I’m coming.”. Yannic spoke, “Are you sure?”. I said, “Yes.”. Daniel said, “I’m coming too.”. Yannic confirm, “Okay.”. We made our way to the truck.

We arrive at the Bluebeam Hospital at downtown, walking through the white hallways, we meet Hassen in a bed awake at room B214.
There was a blond, light tone female doctor typing on a tablet, she looked at us and said, “Oh, you must be Yannic, Hassen’s employer?”. Yannic replied with his hands crossed, “Yes, I would like to speak to him. Can I at this moment.”. The doctor nodded, then said, “Yes, I’ve done all his check up. He... should be fine, he had a small infection but we took care of that. He should be good tomorrow. We will be doing some more check ups and talk to him more about his condition.”. Yannic said, “Okay, can you give us this lone time.”. The doctor said, “Yes, yes. I’ll go.”. She leaves the room.
Yannic go up to Hassen, I stood back. Hassen kept his eyes on Yannic, he said, “Doctor, why did you came?”. Yannic said, “To see how you were doing.”. Then he spoke in a slower and deeper tone, “And to state about your employment status.”. Hassen mumbled, “W-what do y-you mean?”. Yannic explain, “I am doing a little rebranding with the Vollers, changing from a vigilantist affiliation to an international special forces for the new world. But we have a higher level of standards now. I need a good brand image and having sexual deviants isn’t really good for that.”. Hassen ask, “A-are you... firing me?”. Yannic state, “Yes, normally I would ask to remove your scarf but I think that has already have been done.”. Hassen spoke, “Well, that is your choice. I’m sorry for what I have been. But from now on, I will just be asexual. No longer burden by the horrors of sexuality.”. Yannic said, “Just don’t touch anyone.”. Hassen barked, “Didn’t you not heard what I just said!?”. I came in, “You two, stop.”. I look at Hassen and said, “Just, be well Hassen.”. I left the room. I close the door and left Yannic and Hassen with their discussion.
I took a good look at my light blue scarf, it reminds me of my techno trench coat, as it was a signature to my presence at Technovania, but now at the present moment, I’m now with the Vollers. I am happy with my new grouping, while I was excited over the Volate, I am eager to meet new people of the community of Voller.
Yannic came out of the room and close the door behind him, saying “Well now that is dealt with, we can go back to the station.”. I remarked, “Lets go then, doctor.”. Yannic smiled.

Yannic is driving at the main road of the city. The city was lively, much more people are walking at the street, with less carrying weapons. Protests are unseen and people are partying at the street.
I ask, “So Yannic, whats next on your to do list? Since Palite is all but gone, you seem kinda free to do something.”. Yannic replied, “Oh, as a CEO, I am always busy. I’m going to rally the rest of the Vollers. Then after... gonna show my work to a top tier university, and teach the new generation the new era of Volate tech.”. I ask, “Am I gonna be a student for this new generation?”. Yannic spoke profoundly, “Yes.”.
