The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Below Black Water (1)

Days have changed in different worlds. Winter came back to the barren afterlife dream with a little warmth in mind. However, a morning in San Francisco came with bad news.

‘Anne was right. ’

A sudden withdrawal order that broke out early in the morning. I'm shutting down the pursuit of Jang Jeong No. 9 at the moment. There were no other communications, but this meant that the worst solution the FBI agent was concerned about would be realized. Because the United States can't just ignore a nuclear threat in anarchy.

But how?

The plan Joanna mentioned was a man-made warhead installation. to avoid detection by the Chinese military. But now, all personnel are waiting for withdrawal. Are we ready for this? Or did he try to find some other means in the judgment that he couldn't stall time?

Either way, the president made a quick decision. The longer we postpone the necessary evil, the greater the evil. That feeling.

Someone spoke to the tumultuous winter.

“You don't look well, Lieutenant. ”

“Sergeant Wolf. ”

One of the few people I can say I'm close to here. Petty Officer Dwayne Wolf leans against the ledge next to winter, gazing into the direction of the maritime city. But all you can see is the fog of gray. The sun in the morning was just a pale, faint flock of light across the gray sky. However, the powerless and violent lives of those who had lost hope came to echo, informing them that there was still a rippling distance.

“Looks like this is the last time I'll ever see the view. ”

“ ……. ”

“They're all going to die. Damn, I don't know what you've been through. ”

What he said was more than just an effort to hunt whales. Marine farms and the order that has made it possible to leave hope even when you leave. Although the goal was the mental stability of the personnel involved in the operation, it could not be done until the plan was objective.

“Every time I go on a mission, I feel like I'm too small. ”

Sergeant scratched his head nervously. Bubbuck. Fancy dandruff pours over your shoulders.

“I always do my best. But there are too many things that cannot be done with the best effort. The world is always moving where I can't see it, and I can't help but toss things around. I hate the feeling of helplessness to accept it unilaterally. ”

Winter nods slowly.

“That heart, I understand. ”

I don't know why. The boy wanted to dream beautiful dreams. Twenty-seven times, this might be the last time. However, the afterlife was a mirror that constantly illuminated reality.

This city, San Francisco, felt like an unpleasant metaphor for winter. Forced away from her own story, from the Winter Alliance, she did her best to create a good result, but the result is now. It seems that someone with malicious intent is paradoxical beyond reach. That's your limit. No matter how much you push the boundaries, there's always going to be a way out.

“At least we saved them. ”

The sergeant says to himself, winter looks at the frightened horde, gathered on one side of the deck.

I should say lucky. The identity was determined to be worth saving at the intelligence agency. High-end workers like physicists and cosmologists. Among them, there is Juwei Sogyo. The Ministry of Defense Public Affairs is greedy, and they're finally relocating. Winter turns her head before she finds herself.

‘Kurt Lee will disappear from here anyway……. ’

A white bubble emerges from the sea in the realm of Piquad. It was a precursor to the rising submarine. Although he left a mesh to obstruct his sight, he withdrew after nightfall to avoid observation without fog. You can see small, insecure people climbing the rope ladder down to the submarine deck.

The herd that followed was different in color. I'm not a refugee, I'm not a combat soldier. I wanted to be a CIA agent, but when I saw the impression, it wasn't either. The faces of intellectual innocence. Frequency of wearing high frequency glasses. Pens were better than guns and work desks better than field beds.

‘I've never seen so many faces before for a group of operatives. ’

There was nothing to be surprised about. Piquad was a big ship, and that's how many people there were. Winter has yet to meet even the first line strikers. It looks like a special-operation vessel, so we might need specialized technicians.

The passenger submarine has closed the hatch. An oval hull that quietly draws water and disappears below the surface of the water. A few more submarines would have to come before the entire crew could evacuate.

The order of the armed forces, including the winter, was last with CIA situation control. Immediately after the loss of control and the strike squad, Fiquad was told they were planning to blow themselves up. It's a highly classified vessel, and it's been equipped with incinerators from the start.

“Winter.”

A familiar voice to call out to the boy you thought of.

Anne?

The FBI agent was unexpectedly lightly dressed. Lightweight meant that they were not carrying armor or backpacks like everyone else. And it was tactical lightness. You wear black glasses, your head is tied in a split, you're wearing body armor, and your vest is tightly packed with magazines. The posture with the weapon was safe to engage now.

She asked a lot.

“I have an important matter to attend to. Would you excuse me for a moment? ”

Important work? Winter felt curious, but the agent was very serious.

After winter came to understand, Sergeant Wolf gave me a cool joke.

“That's okay, because I don't have any hobbies that interfere with other people's relationships. ”

“That's not how Anne and I get along. Excuse me.”

The greeted sergeant looks away again. A soldier biting a cigarette and putting a handful of smoke in the fog.

You turn your back on him, and Joanna leads Winter into the passageway beneath the bridge. Waiting for no one to pass through the side cabin, locks the door immediately. And then she keeps her ears to the wall to see if she's popular. Then I pulled out the sticky equipment from my waist and scoured the wall.

“What are you doing? ”

I guessed, but I wondered, this time, she was looking at the ceiling and answering.

“I was worried it might be bugged. ”

This means that the intelligence agencies should not listen to this conversation.... After the search, the investigative agency turns to winter. Only after the last detection of the boy's body is she able to retrieve the device. I take off my dark glasses and reveal two eyes that are melting with anger.

“Winter, I think there's been an unauthorized human experiment on this ship. ”

“…… Human experimentation? ”

“Yes. Even I, the overseer, will remember that there was a restricted area. That was the lab, where they brought refugees into separate freight corridors to experiment with. The intelligence bureau's armed forces, the SADs alone in the city, were also working to procure the Mogelons pathogen that they needed for their experiments. ”

“How did you know that? ”

“…… I put a bug on Chadwick's team leader a while back. It was past midnight yesterday, actually. ”

Oops. Winter reflects, drawing a battle that might take place inside the bay. It was a short and narrow environment. In this crossover, winter is invincible with limited firefights. There are a limited number of people who can fight at the same time. No matter how many enemies there are, the reaction rate alone can overwhelm them.

However, if other means than guns are used, the story changes. Like a full body armor.

‘In the worst case, we have to fight the Striking Party...' ’

Elites of the Navy Seals, Delta Force, Ranger Regiment, Special Tactical Battalion, etc. They are more dangerous to know in winter.

If human experimentation is not an officially sanctioned operation, it is unlikely that we will face the strikers directly. Only the intelligence agency itself is a potential enemy.

Winter asked.

“Is it possible that this is a separate government approved operation? ”

Joanna pulls the recorder out of her pocket instead of answering. Rugged design that is just as durable and reliable as performance. She picks up the call after a few run-ins and a rewind.

The call only heard the voice of one party, Team Leader Chadwick. What someone on the other side of the handset said, it was hard to detect with enhanced winter hearing. Sometimes only short words come into my ears.

Winter recalled the title they called themselves.

“True patriots? That doesn't sound like just pride. ”

Joanna, who stopped the regeneration, agrees with her head.

“Estimated to be a private tissue formed across the CIA and CDC. Maybe more. If this was an initiative approved by the government in the first place, it would be okay to be known to me as a supervisor. You have to report it so you won't get hurt in higher places. ”

She then mentions the tendency of the current regime.

“Although we have now approved a final solution, the euphemistic president would not allow this. There's no reason to choose a place like this. ”

Would you choose a dangerous Node if you had to choose? There were many more stable places. Fort Roberts, for example. Then winter would have noticed. During the apocalypse and the apocalypse, I was very familiar with those signs. The weaklings disappearing one day. The clearer the streets of the Refugee Camp, the more unrealistic the rumors became.

‘Human experiments are the most effective for vaccine development. ’

The test subjects of a disease infected only in humans are human beings.

It was true that the more human experimentation was conducted, the faster the antiinfectious agent appeared.

But in the end, it's just a temporary inhibitor. The perfect vaccine had never been seen in winter. Knowledge of system calibration. Epidemic immunity should be key.

“Did you report it? ”

When winter comes, Joanna shakes her head.

“Without proof, my testimony would be useless. I have to go into the investigation, but I doubt it's going to happen normally in a city like this. They won't sit down. ”

She told me about the lack of manpower in the Bureau of Investigation. The ongoing social unrest has overwhelmed all investigative agencies, he said. Of course, investigative agencies dedicated to domestic affairs were more burdensome than intelligence agencies dedicated to foreign affairs.

“Isn't it obvious that I'm the only overseer on this operation? ”

The smile on the cloudy horse was accompanied by fatigue and depression.

“Plus, if my report gets intercepted, I'll be in evidence immediately. I'm afraid we don't have a code for this. The intelligence agencies wouldn't know. ”

In other words, it was no exception to formally report that a search was underway with the strike team. When Chadwick was cornered and started the process of incinerating Piquad, everyone would end up dead.

“So what does Anne want to do now? What can I do to help? ”

“Before we evacuate, I want to do whatever it takes to get the evidence. ”

The supervisor then chewed up a word.

“I've been thinking about it all night. What does that even mean? ”

Johanna felt a sense of excellence was the moral liability of the final solution.

“If it weren't for human experimentation, they'd all be dead anyway. I didn't just live freely because of me... At this point, what difference does it make to keep the law and principles……. Now that everyone is taking the necessary evil to defend the cause of humanity, I doubt that I alone will be able to defend my conscience.... ”

Rather, Chadwick's team leader and the people he's with, as a result, are even more right. It was a question she swallowed.

“I don't think so. ”

Winter was adamantly denied.

“Even if you're going to die, you have the right to be human until you die. ”

“Do those people out there live like humans? ”

“At least you can struggle to survive. You can try to have hope. You can protect the people you love. No matter how dirty and miserable it may seem, it's his right to end it. If you felt it was better to die, you'd be dead. ”

The winter of a lifetime would have been a miserable life for anyone to see. However, if someone denies their life just by what they saw, winter would not be acceptable. In their short lives, they laughed sparsely and cried commonly, but their lives were worth indefinitely with the body temperatures of two precious people.

“The right to be with someone I want and want me for one more second. Team Leader Chadwick took that right. It's too much of a mistake to assume you're going to die anyway. ”

That's what I believe. One second of winter comforted Joanna.

# Q&A

Q. Kaley: I don't think @ was a normal, sympathetic, "old" summit, but it was a reader's mistake... town.

A. The criterion by which a writer distinguishes a person is an intelligent person with a personality. Therefore, the expression "normal person" is not wrong.

A. This... is a big deal because there are so many unique readers who want a copy... They're only going to make 15 copies... Of course, they don't go to the bookstore. I was wondering if I could add a personal autograph to the author's handbill and send it to a few of you.

Q. SVJK: Suddenly I'm curious about you. Is he the one who made that much money with nothing? Or did he grow up learning to deal in that environment? Seems a little out of place to pursue deals that aren't fair to each other.

A. The writer explains everything about the characters in the book a little... haha. Imagine that. What environment would make a person like that?

Q. NeoGGM: When I went to the @ VNoble blog, I heard that the Great Old Articles are coming out next month, and I just moved in, so I lost my potted field, so how do I get an autograph?

A. Not for sale! How to Obtain... It's still a secret.

Q. Kaif: Isn't the control personality too cowardly? I can't believe you just punched me in the face.

A. Wouldn't it be so peaceful if everyone in the world looked like a control freak?
