Byte stood next to Dr. Doppler. It was the middle of the night, and the moon was low over the ocean. The big white moon flashed like a beam in the sky, and reflected in the waters of the pacific ocean. The city's lights hadn't all been turned on, since they were running on generators. In the morning, he would start Blast Bull, and Thunder Ram on getting the city powered up. He had a packed schedule.
Byte however did not have such a busy life. He had learned to be patient, and calm since he was last rebuilt.
His hand was held to his audio receptors. A small device in his had was set to monitor all communications on outside frequencies. He finally caught one.
"Sir, I have something.", Byte said.
He was standing next to Doppler in his office, looking through a large bay window out over the dimly lit city.
"What is it?", Doppler asked.
"A transmission....source unknown, but It sounds like Wave Tortise." Doppler turned his head sharply.
"What?", he asked. His voice became a quick snap of shock, rage, and curiosity. "What's he saying?"
"Uh....hmm...he's saying that he's here looking for someone. He keeps saying that we have someone, and that he's here on recon....no...search, and rescue? What could that mean?"
"Who would he be looking for?", Doppler asked.
"I have no idea sir."
"You told me he cleared the security background check."
"He did sir. He had no ties to Sigma or the Maverick Hunters.", Byte said.
"Okay. But did any of his freinds, or business associates?"
"We didn't check that out, but we could..."
"Do it...immediately.", Doppler snapped.
"Wait! The trasmission's ending. I'm not too familliar with codes, but off hand it sounds like a data dump took place."
"Is that device recording?", Doppler asked.
"Of course."
"Plug it into the main monitor, I want to analyze this."
Byte walked over to Doppler's desk. The data poured into the monitor, and Doppler began to work on the console.
"The Signal was coming from this quadrant." Byte pointed to the screen. "That's the living quarters. This doesn't make sense though...The signal goes out over the ocean to this point, and just stops. Weird!"
"Not really. Not if you think about it." ,Doppler answered back. "Remember, Wave Tortise is here to build me aquatic battle submarines. He's probably using one of them to communicate with."
"Why would he take such a risk? That was a totally unsecured line he used."
"Ahh....he probably just rigged a hand held. Maybe his business here is two fold then? I sense desperation, and uneasiness in his voice."
"This is very strange.", Byte added.
"Byte, listen...I want you to go and look in on him. Check everyone, so I can make sure that he's the only one. If he crosses us, I can replace him...I don't want to have to, but I can figure something out."
"What about the parts of the other two?"
"What? Oh....make sure they are secured! Double the gaurds around the vaults."
"Sir, do you think he's looking for someone's parts?"
"One of those two? I doubt it...he didn't have any dealings with Sigma's people. Still...run a complete background check!" Byte turned, and left the room quickly.
"Just what are you up to?", Doppler mumbled to himself.
