"The Quantum Intrusion"

Camille's hand moved swiftly to her Holosender, her fingers deftly tapping on the holographic interface as she summoned The Diplo Meet 3000 for an important conversation. The Holosender emitted a soft blue glow as it connected to the network, sending out a series of encrypted signals that would reach the intended recipients.

Within moments, ten people, including Arnold, received a text in their Holoreceivers, their devices chiming with a notification.

(1 Hour Back)

As the discussion of tactics continued at the pavilion, Officer Steven and Arnold were fraught with anxiety, their minds racing with thoughts of what could be happening. When they did not receive an answer for hours, they grew tired and drowsy, eventually succumbing to the exhaustion of a sleepless night.

9 days before the infiltration of 'Oak Bay Town' :

Officer Steven woke up to the sound of a Holoreceiver ringing. He excitedly took out his receiver, only to find that the sound had not come from his device.

Steven looked around, only to find Arnold passed out cold in his desk, his saliva drooling all over the documents, making it a disgusting sight to behold. Covered in documents, Arnold's receiver was making the 'Ding' sound.

Steven cleared the documents covering the device and grabbed the receiver, only to find it locked with quantum encryption. As he turned the device on, the receiver not recognizing his face, started buzzing and sending alerts to the nearest 'Cyber Quantum Station.'

"Snooping doesn't suit you Steven, eh?" Arnold questioned Steven, woken up by the sudden commotion.

Steven, although a bit embarrassed, would not admit it due to his egoistic embodiment. "Who would snoop around your stuff Arnold? The receiver fell down, so I grabbed it in the spur of the moment, forgetting about the quantum encryption that the UPKF provides to its members."

"You sure are clumsy, bud," teased Arnold.

Steven scowled at the comment, just as Arnold was about to grab the receiver from Steven's hand. Steven's Holoreceiver started beeping with the message - "The Quantum Face Recognizer has recognized the person Steven Kenyetta; the person has tried to open a diplomat's receiver without authorization. Under Article 1 of 'Civil Servant Quantum Protection Act,' the person is currently charged with 'privacy intrusion' and has to visit the nearest 'Cyber Quantum Station' for further information."

"'Aw c'mon, what kind of a joke is this?!?" Steven shouted indignantly.

While Steven was cursing his fate, Arnold's jaw dropped to the floor when he heard Steven's last name: Kenyetta.

"St… Steve.. Officer Steven, you..you never told me that you were one of the lofty Kenyetta Family," stuttered Arnold.

"I never had the need to until now. Now I have to go to a fricking 'Cyber Quantum Station' to get my charges cleared," answered Steven, clearly not giving it much heed.

"I can testify that you mean no harm," said Arnold, slowly coming out of his shock or, you could say, reverie.

"Oh, thank god. I thought you weren't gonna back me up, for the nuthead that you are."

"Ayo, what the gibberish did you just say?" asked Arnold, who was questionably humiliated.

"Nothing!" said Steven, grabbing his coat, identity card, and his Holosender, which were on the table, and moving out of the office in a hurry.

"Wait up, Steven, shh, I mean Officer Steven," Arnold said, stumbling out of his office while putting on his coat to hurry behind Steven.

They both navigate their way up those pipe filled stairs while fighting the musty smell coming. The bricks of the alleyway paves the way to the streets of 'Lithium Ero Zone'.

"Chaotic as always huh" says Arnold while shielding his eyes from the flashing rays of G-404 the host star of 'Lithium Ero Zone'.

"You haven't seen the light of the day in months Arnold, what do you know about how chaotic it can get in this world," says Steven looking at the fidgeting Arnold.

Arnold just sighs at Steven. They both start going down the streets and quickly reach the underground transportation system.

As Arnold and Steven entered the underground transport, a surge of excitement ran through them as they took in the futuristic surroundings. The capsule's sleek, metallic design gave off a polished, high-tech vibe. Its soft hum filled the air, creating a sense of anticipation for the journey ahead.

The walls of the capsule were made of a smooth, glass-like material, which displayed a mesmerizing swirl of colors and patterns, as if a painting had come to life before their very eyes. Steven couldn't help but reach out to touch the glass, as if he could feel the pulsing energy beneath its surface.

The seats, too, were a marvel of engineering. They molded perfectly to their bodies, providing a comfortable ride that felt like a massage, a gentle but constant pressure that eased away any tension. The plush fabric was soft to the touch, and the entire experience was so immersive that they almost forgot they were traveling underground.

The air was fresh and crisp, tinged with a hint of a metallic scent that reminded them of the technological wonderland they were in. The advanced air filtration system removed any impurities, leaving only the purest, most invigorating air to breathe in.

They both slowly get in the double-seater 'Transport Capsule'.

As the capsule accelerated, Arnold and Steven were pushed back into their seats, feeling the G-forces at work. The holographic display on the walls flickered, showing the route and various advertisements for products and services that promised to enhance their lives in ways that were not useful these products were just making us lazy but eh people don't care.

Steven couldn't help but marvel at the technological advancements that allowed for such a smooth and efficient transport system. He remembered reading about the early days of transportation, when people had to rely on slow and unreliable vehicles, stuck in traffic for hours on end. Now, in the year 3000, travel was seamless and fast, thanks to the latest in quantum computing and materials science.

As they were speeding Arnold took out his Holoreceiver to check what the commotion was all about that revealed Officer Steven's last name.

After Arnold read the message his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets. Steven after seeing Arnold shiver so badly grabbed the receiver from his hand and even Steven with years of experience on the battlefield could not contain his cool.

"Diplo Meet 3000?! Am I seeing this right Arnold?" questioned Steven.

"Yeah Officer you sure are seeing this right," replied Arnold with a bit of shock remaining in his eyes.

"Then we gotta get there, don't we? " Steven says but before he awaits a reply he pulls down the emergency wire and the capsule whirres to a stop.

Steven quickly changes the destination and the capsule marvels at high speeds and also with the development of magnetic levitation the capsule whirres at the highest of speeds.

As they neared their destination, the capsule slowed down and came to a stop at their designated platform. The doors opened with a soft hiss, revealing a bustling station filled with people of all shapes and sizes. The sound of chatter and footsteps filled the air, and the smell of exotic foods wafted from nearby vendors.

Arnold and Steven made their way through the crowds, their eyes scanning the signs and holographic displays for any information on their destination. They finally found the exit, a sleek portal that shimmered in the dimly lit corridor. As they approached, the portal recognized their identity cards and opened with a whoosh, revealing a long, winding corridor that led to their final destination.

The corridor was lined with glowing panels that emitted a soft blue light, guiding their way forward. The air was cool and refreshing, and the sound of their footsteps echoed off the walls. Steven couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building up inside him. The mission to infiltrate Oak Bay Town was finally within reach, and he was determined to see it through to the end.

As they reached the end of the corridor, they were met with a pair of imposing doors, guarded by a group of heavily armed security personnel. Steven and Arnold approached with caution, their identities confirmed by the facial recognition software built into their identity cards.

"Before we enter Officer why is the traitor so important to you? " questioned Arnold as he could not understand why Steven would leave his charges in the 'Cyber Quantum Station'. This could have some consequences for Officer Steven as he will not be able to justify why he did not reach the station, Diplo Meet 3000 was a top-secret and it can't be causally revealed.

But Officer Steven could not care less he bust through the door, but his face became complicated when Arnold posed his question.

The doors opened with a loud hiss, revealing a large, circular chamber filled with rows of terminals and holographic displays. In the center of the chamber stood a towering figure, dressed in a sleek, black suit and sporting a pair of mirrored shades. It was the Diplo Meet 3000, the most advanced diplomatic AI in existence.

"Greetings, officers," the Diplo Meet 3000 said in a deep, resonating voice. "What brings you to this hallowed chamber?"
