Trans-Solar H-55 Exoplanet,
At the eastern equatorial of the planet was an ocean body with a swarm of rocky and greenish islands.
And the scene was within one island that lies in the southernmost part.
The team of fifteen, including Bobby, now disguised perfectly as Loki, kept searching for missing Hunk for a month, and they failed as the trail left by Hunk had gone cold, and most importantly, not a single part of his remnants could be found.
In his search of Hunk, they all had swept through every nook and corner of the island including the three Volcanic mountains.
Having no choice, under Captain Shiko's order, everyone returned to the castle, and he sent a report to the headquarter of the Blue Lagoon Unit, about that detailed report of the combing operation on the island and also including the sudden disappearance of Hunk.
After three hours, a direct command came from the headquarters telling them to return and the problem on the island would be handed over to another team.
Captain Shiko was not dissatisfied with the command. But he had no choice but to announce the news to his team in the conference hall.
Within fifteen minutes, three flying vessels appeared and landed in front of the castle. And a team consisting of 20 members stepped out from the flying vessels.
The leader, who also wore a similar green color crown over his head, approached and said, saluting. "Captain Shiko, good to see you!"
Captain Shiko saluted back, hitting his chest, and addressed back to him, "Good to see you, too, Pem! So, you're the one taking over my operation here?"
Captain Pem smiled wryly and said, "Can't help bro? You know it too well, too…. Order is order."
"Yep, the order is order!... Actually, when the headquarters informed me about transferring my operation to another team, I was a bit tense. But, now, seeing you here, I can hand over everything in your excellent hands with ease." Captain Shiko said, beaming.
After chatting for a while and all his members of the team had finished packing all up and stuffed inside their two flying vessels, Captain Shiko excused himself and entered one flying vessel.
And soon the two flying vessels under the command of Captain Shiko left the island.
Inside one flying vessel, Bobby activated his ocular Devil's Eye technique and his blue eyes glinted with purple for a fraction of a second. In the next second, he started observing the interior of the flying vessel using X-ray vision and magnification.
"Wow! The technology of this flying unit is way better than our human's well-advanced level Jet Fighters… And the level of ingenuity in each of these techies is recommendable!" Bobby exclaimed in shock in his mind.
"Oh-ho, so, you are saying just seeing this tier 27 flying vessel…. I would like to see your face when you can get your hands on the tier-15 Weapon-smithy manual." Cynthia said telepathically in his mind. "Anyway, you are going to infiltrate their so-called Blue Lagoon Unit Headquarter. So, what is your next plan?"
"Plan? Nothing much. I'll simply start by learning everything about them for a few months. Once I am ready, I will do everything I can to become the Blue Lagoon's head chief... And if anyone stands in my way, I'll simply kill them all." Bobby replied, explaining his plan.
It took over twelve minutes for the flying vessels to reach The Voiceless City, where the headquarters of the Blue Lagoon Unit was located.
As soon as the soldiers landed, Captain Shiko and the other thirteen soldiers were taken inside a briefing room.
First, their bodies were scanned completely using their military-grade scanning device and fortunately Bobby was ready for it and the Angel Armament Wings he was wearing from Loki, so he passed the test having no problem.
Next, they were separately taken for interrogation by the assigning officers.
His turn turned up, and Bobby went inside the interrogation room, and inside he saw a team of five angels, three men and two women wearing angel's military garb with the insignia of Blue Lagoon's Blue Leaves on their chests.
"State your name and discipline, soldier?" A lady asked in Posun, just after Bobby sat on the lower chair facing the five.
"Loki Bradworth, grade 10, a copper rank of Captain Shiko's team," Bobby answered on top of his lunge.
"I heard you had some unpleasant encounter with the missing soldier named Hunk while doing your service together…. Did you have anything to do with his sudden disappearance?" A bald-headed, middle-aged man among the board of the interrogation team asked, coming straight to the point.
Before Bobby could even reply, another member, a blonde lady, jumped in with a sharp tone, asking. "Did you kill him and dispose of the remains somewhere on that island?" There was literally something in her words as if she was already in a total belief that the man before her was the true culprit.
"Oh-ho, stay calm, Emissary Helda Tempest! Why are you asking such a ticklish question to our little friend Loki here?... Please, don't scare the soldier. For Jove's sake, can you please reckon that he just returned home doing a very extraordinary job at the Island? So, let's do an unbiased interrogation with no string attached to your powerful family, okay?" The kind-looking, bald-headed man among the board reprimanded the blonde lady in a gentle tone as he beamed.
Emissary Holden Tempest mumbled a snort and remained silent.
"Good!" The baldy turned his attention and gestured his hand to Bobby to answer the earlier question.
Bobby looked straight into his eyes and began, "My answer to you sir... Yes, my experience with soldier Hunk has been bitter… I don't know whether it was fate or planned. We joined the same team under Captain Shiko on the same day. From the day I joined the team, until the day he went missing, he had been questioning my duties, physically harassing me, and verbally abusing me all the time... And I bear all of it…. And I don't have a clue of how he disappeared when we are doing a combing operation in each of our assigned regions…"
He then gazed upon the blonde and said, "Ma'am, please don't accuse me of something I never did with no evidence… Also for the record, the place I was assigned to do the search was way far from Hunk's, and also if you want to know my alibi then you can start by checking my surveillance report of the whole time of my duty submitted to the headquarters. It's all there… And I have no obligation to respond to your biased allegation in any manners."
"Hahaha…." The baldy burst into laughter and asked, looking at the blonde. "Emissary Holden Tempest, what do you think?"
The blonde didn't quip a word. Instead, she gave a death glare directed at Bobby.
After that, other members of the board also started asking multiple questions one at a time regarding the Alien Device and regarding the theory that there might be some human survivor and also linking it to the strange disappearance of Hunk.
Bobby answered all the truth calmly and didn't reject or accept the theory of human survivors following the crash.
A few minutes later, he was excused from the room.
As Bobby walked out of the interrogation hall, he was greeted by his team.
"How was the interview?" Captain Shiko asked.
"Some lady tried to screw me up the moment I was inside…. But it went quite well." Bobby replied.
"Well, if they want to go after my team, they must go through me first." It was a bold statement that Captain Shiko had never made before, and none of his subordinates were aware.
His words piqued Bobby's interest. So he said, "Captain, I have a question."
"Well, shoot it," said Captain Shiko.
"If you are concerned about us working under you, then why are you not concerned about what happened to Hunk?" Bobby asked.
"Oh, you are correct to say that I don't care much about him and I just did a search party as by the book because starting from day one, I never considered him as one of my own… Alright, I'll be honest with you all. Hunk was like a snake in a little garden and questioned every one of my judgments as if he was someone above me… I hate him all this time." Captain Shiko replied patiently. "Alright everyone, let's return to our base."
Then the group of fourteen jumped into their flying vessels and they flew up in the air and flew toward the prime territory of the main military site of the Blue Lagoon.
Within a few minutes, the flying vessels reached the area of the Blue Lagoon and landed within the wall of the military site.
As they came out of the flying vessels, Bobby curiously glanced around and saw many highly advanced infrastructures he had never seen before in all the human worlds.
All around he saw thousands and thousands of flags with the insignia of A Blue leaf of the Blue Lagoon.
