Lenny's Situation (4)
Now that Lenny had his hands on the information he wanted, he finally relaxed. He lowered his PIPS now since he could carefully scan through the contents later.
Lenny and Morgan chatted for a few minutes.
Through the conversation, Lenny learned that Morgan had inside information about Nova Rebellion because ISU had lots of dealings with the group.
Not only the Rebellion, but ISU also had dealings with all governments and organizations.
The only exception was Miniknog.
Although they had some deals with them, they were substantially less compared to everyone else.
The main reason was that most of their scientists were Apexes that were born free from the brainwashing dictatorship of Big Ape. Some were even scientists for the Miniknog, but they left their influence after learning some truth about atrocities that they committed over the years.
Because of this, the relationship between Miniknog and ISU was very turbulent and rather cold.
While the Miniknog didn't take force action, they usually resort to other types of strategy to target the ISU.
To protect themselves from Miniknog, ISU usually asked the Intergalactic Police and Nova Rebellion for help.
As for Letheia Corporation, ISU never asked them because they knew that they would, without a doubt, stab them in the back if they asked for help.
Letheia never targeted ISU directly, but they, without doubt, approved Miniknog's actions against them.
It was true that sometimes Letheia needed ISU, but for them, if they cannot control, they rather destroy it.
To maintain their image, Letheia refrained from taking actions, but this didn't stop them from supporting Miniknog from behind the scenes.
Because of this, ISU only trusted Nova Rebellion and the Intergalactic Police with their safety, not even the Terrene Protectorate, when they still around because of their ties with Letheia Corporation.
But because Nova Rebellion stopped providing the usual amount of security to the ISU as soon as the news of the destruction of the Terrene Protectorate, ISU was left relatively open for attacks.
Morgan Yang knew for sure that Nova Rebellion was planning something big, massive, and that's why they were conserving their strength and focusing on growing the numbers and quality of troops.
Lenny tried to pry more into the secrets of Nova Rebellion because Morgan Yang showed that he knew way more then what he showed.
He wasn't very interested in this complicated world of politics and interest between governments and organizations. He was just curious.
Glancing at his PIPS, Lenny saw that he stayed far more than what it needed.
Lenny stood up and, with a smile on his face, said to Morgan, "Thanks for the piece of info you gave me. Although the chat was good, I need to go. Lots of stuff to do, you know."
"That's not a problem." Morgan waved his hand and showed that he didn't mind, "I'm old and easily lose track of time when chatting."
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Morgan Yang." Lenny reached out his hand.
Remembering that the person in the opposite of him was just a hologram, he embarrassedly put down his hand.
Seeing this, Morgan chuckled and said, "Equally. I'm sure that we will meet again sooner than you think."
Lenny smiled and waved his hand in goodbye as he turned around to leave the room.
"Lenny." He heard Morgan calling from behind.
Lenny turned around and looked at Morgan.
"In that ship, I also placed the location of an old friend of mine that might help you with you need equipment and more information on how to deal with Starkid. He's a Novakid, and also a Bounty Hunter, just like you. I think both you can be great friends. His name is Noble, but he likes people to call him Captain Noble." Morgan smiled as he spoke, but after he finished, he became serious again.
"Be careful." Morgan's face was expressionless, without a trace of that kind smile as he spoke, "Nova Rebellion...no, President Husk isn't someone you wish to mess up with. Even if you manage to kill Starkid, your end won't be pretty on the hands of Husk, trust me, I know him very well." Once he spoke until there, his face revealed a smile once again, "Treat this as my last warn-"
He couldn't finish speaking when his voice started to cut and his image to flick intensely.
"Wh-at is happ-" Those were Morgan's last words as his hologram completely disappeared.
Lenny immediately became alert as he witnessed what happened.
Without hesitation, he darted out of the room and entered the elevator.
Retrieving the card from his pocket, Lenny inserted in the panel.
Without delay, the screen beside the elevator's door turned on.
The door opened, and Lenny entered the cabin.
He swiftly pressed on the reception floor, and the elevator started to descend.
[What's happening?] Lenny frowned.
Previously he thought the elevator was rather fast, but now he felt it was way too slow.
His foot hit the floor as his impatience skyrocketed.
A foreboding feeling grew inside him.
He could feel that something was about to happen. He learned to always trust his senses, and this time wasn't different.
Reaching for PIPS, Lenny took out a vest holster and put it on beneath his leather coat. After that, he took out the two revolvers and stored them in the holsters.
[Better be careful.] That was his thought while he readied himself up for anything that might happen.
He also took some round speedloaders from his PIPS and placed them in his pockets.
Speedloader is a device used to reduce the time to reload the revolver by loading all chambers of a revolver simultaneously.
Lenny's weapons had six holes in the barrel, so it could have six bullets readied.
His speedloaders were made for his revolver, and that's why they also contained only six bullets.
Lenny also retrieved two knives from his PIPS, one small and the other was the same size as the average military knife.
He hid one in his right boot, and the other one he put it the right side of his waist.
The whole process took less than a few seconds.
*Thud*
Without warning, the elevator stopped descending as the light also was turned off.
As soon as the light went dead, the red emergency light in the ceiling was turned on.
Lenny almost lost his balm with the sudden stop but managed to stay on his foot.
Before he could recover from the change of events, Lenny heard the alarms resonating throughout the whole station.
"Shit..." Lenny cursed as he looked around, searching for a way out of the elevator.
