Chapter 7 Part 1
A formation of 10 arhans flew at an extremely low altitude over the desert. Among the white traditional models was one unique, black, belonging to Kristine. Watching through an optical camera, she confirmed. Hot air blurred the city, in which were the ruins of the military base, where Pioneer was hiding. They were approaching. She reported this information on the internal line to the rest of the detachment.

“Target in sight. Approximately 300 more seconds… I’m first.”

Second was Veronica.

“Destroy everything that comes in your path.”

Third, Hilde, said sharply.

“We’ll show him what we have suffered these past 2 weeks on Earth!”

The airspace control sensor gave a warning signal. Kristine looked up. A real meteor shower burst into Earth’s atmosphere. And it was heading for the ruins.

“A landing squad from the orbital station?”

Kristine frowned.

“Too early. This was not announced at the briefing. They are going to steal our prey?”

Worried Veronica reported.

“Message from the headquarters! An arhan and a container with additional equipment was stolen from the combat station platform… It’s the enemy!”

Among the many containers, cutting through the sky, Kristine saw the landing module. At the briefing they heard that a former security agent escaped, guilty of treason, and that the location is unknown. Perhaps he is in league with Pioneer, so they had to be careful.

Kristine gritted her teeth. Angela… What an idiot! She pressed on the pedal. The black arhan sped up. The new argan model, on which Angela was, was 1000 metres above the ground. The slowing parachute has already played its role. The scorched heat resistant shields began to separate. The containers also slowed down and one by one landed in the ruins or somewhere close by.

The arhan took a humanoid form and starting the engines, began to descend rapidly. It landed carefully right on top of the place where the rocket was located. Where they were waited by a working robot in a cap and Dingo, carrying Angela’s physical body on his shoulder.

Surprised, Angela spoke through an external speaker.

“What are you doing here?”

Dingo watched the containers fall from the sky, leaving a white trail with noise behind.

“Your return was majestic.”

Pioneer said from the robot.

<I warned him of the dangers and offered to leave this place, but Dingo didn’t listen. Angela, you try to persuade him.>

Dingo, interrupting him, said to Angela.

“First we need to fix you up. What an awful sight.”

“Awful? That’s rude. I was fighting so hard to get here. I’ll connect the cable now.”

Dingo approached the arhan. Angela lifted the manipulator. The closures on the fingers opened and flexible cables appeared. The plugs connected to the relay on the back, made for loading the virtual personality into the biological brain. Since there was a dedicated terminal for connection, the helmet was not needed.

The physical body jerked. The body nearly fell, and appeared right in front of Dingo.

Angela’s blue eyes opened.

“You look much better like this.” Dingo whispered in her ear.

“Ah well let go!” Blushing, she tried to push Dingo away. “Do you understand what position you are in? Soon the security service will attack this place. If you stay here, you might die.”

“It just looks like my important client might have another job for me, so I decided to wait. You yourself said that you will count on me next time.”

Surrendering, she asked.

“Are you serious?”

“If you don’t work hard on Earth, you won’t survive.”

“This time I have nothing to pay you with. Are you sill in?”

“After everything, just give me your robot again. I’ll sell him to the junket.”

Dingo answered carelessly, and Angela looked at him with a serious look. He just smiled.

“It’s just that they’re going to launch the world’s largest firework display. I would like to see it with my own eyes.”

He looked at the horizon. In the cloud of dust, a group of security service arhans were discernible . Angela also saw them. In their lead was a black arhan. This was Kristine’s machine. He looked away.

“But those who will try to intervene, will be asked to leave.”

“Are you serious…”

“You already called me a fool. Besides, I prepared myself. There are places here where it’s better not to go. Remember them properly.”

Dingo handed Angela the city map. He placed crosses on the places, where traps were installed.

Turning, he asked Pioneer.

“How is the preparation for the start going?”

<1220 seconds left.>

“If we keep going like this, victory is ours. Let’s go!”

Dingo grabbed a sniper rifle and went down the stairs. Sighing, Angela smiled in confusion.

 <Is that alright?>

“It’s alright. This is also conscience. Well, to business. Support is on you.”

 <You can rely on me.>

Angela opened the panels on the arhan’s back and chose physical control. The cockpit opened. She took the place of the pilot. The steering system rebooted. She fixed the map that Dingo gave her on the console panel. An image appeared on the monitors. She looked where the containers with equipment fell. All the data on the landing were sent to the arhan. Everything was indicated on the display.

Having found the needed one, Angela raised the arhan. She repeated the gesture of gratitude to Pioneer. And flew up.
