Chapter I

Date: 10-10-820 A.S. …



Back on Corsica, Melissa Sanchez recieved approval from Casta to call for a briefing in the conference hall, summoning the best engineers and programmers the Ghosts had available.

29th of September, 09:00 the conference began - the conference hall was massive, dotting the walls were terminals and holograms streaming massive amounts of intelligence and data to whomever required it. Seated at a large table in the center of the room were six men and Sanchez who began the briefing imminently.
-"Buon Giorno signori, let's begin. I summoned you here because I need experienced specialists to construct the most recent project of the Ghosts."

" 'Project XCV-227', our experimental core drone, has just been approved by Sabitov and your task is to develope working schematics and begin construction on it as soon as possible. These drones must function as would any other ship of the 101st. They must be fast, small, well armored and specialized force recon. You've a week deadline to get me the schematics, get to it."

For a week, Melissa spent her days on the Sabadell. She had a few sentimental days, reflecting over her turbulent personal life. She’d been watching the team produce the code and shell for her project for days now; she’d taken a liking to one of the programmers. “I guess, I’m in love”- she said to herself
-“Senorita Sanchez, programmer Antuan Cobax would like to enter your quarters.” –Sanchez’ secretary said through the intercom

-“Let him through”– A tuned out Sanchez said
Antuan entered to Melissa’s office, wearing a black tuxedo and carrying a bouquet of orange flowers

-“Buenos Tardes senorita!”

-“Senor Cobax?” – asked Melissa, puzzled by his presence

-“Senorita Sanchez, I have a gift for you” nervous, he placed the bouquet on her desk, pondering for a moment “…Would you like to meet me at the bar tonight?”
While evidently shocked, Melissa agreed
-“Sure...we could…I just have to take care of a few things first and I’ll call you”
As Cobax took his leave, the comm unit flashed, indicating urgency, giving way to the voice of Melissa’s secretary.
-“Senorita, the engineering team would like to contact you, they have news regarding your project, I’ll patch them through”
The secretary’s voice faded as a gruff, masculine voice sounded over the comm unit.

-“Senorita, we have completed the first set of schematics for the drone ”

It was the chief engineer, an old, humble man with years of experience

- “Excellent, how many drafts have you completed?”

-“So far we have only two versions...regrettably there are complications”

-“What kind of complications?”

-“The powercore is not entirely compatible with our technology and as of now we lack a proper solution”

-“Alright then…show me”.

-“Yes ma’am, uploading now.”

Melissa was not an expert when it came to such advanced technology, she panned over the incomprehensible schematics, not making sense of anything.

-“I do not understand, the first is a generic AI drone, the second appears to be a modification, where’s the problem?”

-“As you have requested, we are attempting to create a mechanism that allows us to remote control the drone from the Sabadell, however these drones are...difficult to work with; their design is a far cry from ours and as these AI shells have been made to operate independently, installing the mechanism I mentioned is proving to be a challenge. It can be done but it will take time."

-“Very well, I’ll review your progress in a few days, in the meantime continue to work diligently”

-“Understood Senora, we’ll continue searching for a proper solution and present our findings as soon as we can.”
The comm beacon darkened, and a satisfied Melissa rested back into her chair.
