"As you see, I have lockdown the entire facility, and you will not be able to reach me to turn me to your side with whatever weird power it is that you have." I heard the hallway locked and were magnetically sealed.
The intercom went offline, and the hallway went entirely silent.
This Terran was a fool if he thought that something as simple as a lockdown could stop me from reaching him. I would have to show him how wrong he was to underestimate the power that was at my disposal.
"What are the options that we have to get to the part of the facility where he is most likely located?" I asked the female scientist that had chosen to join our cause.
"We could try to override his controls and possibly gain control of some of the defense systems in this particular building." She said to me as she pulled out a tablet and started to put in something into the data pad.
Stop her from doing that. If she enables the turrets, we will not have very many who will ever get the chance to join us in our family.
"Do not enable the turrets. We need as many of the terrans alive that we can have so they will have the choice of joining our collective just like you did." I said to her as I placed my right hand onto her shoulder.
"Okay as you command Fulkore. I will do whatever I can to further advance the goals of The Fulkore Collective." She said as she finished punching in some data on the tablet that was in her right hand.
Then the doors of the hallway opened, and I walked down the dimly lit hall. When I made vit to the end I saw that the tube that connected the section of the facility that I was currently in to the next building being cut off by some Terrans that were using torches that emitted a small blue flame.
"Oh, come on, did you really think that I was going to make it that easy for you to reach me?" the Terran leader said to me as I saw the tube entirely disconnect from the building that I was in.
"No, I did not expect for you to make it easy for me, but you are clearly an idiot even for a Terran if you think this will stop me in my objective to claim this facility for The Fulkore Collective." I said as I leaped out of the facility through the opening that the soldiers had created by cutting off the tube that connected this building to the next one of the mining facilities.
When I leaped down, I bounced up back into the air about four inches due to the lack of strong gravity.
The warriors of the Fulkore Collective that were with me jumped down right behind me and attacked the terrans with brutal efficiency as if they were connected into some kind of network that made all their thoughts unified.
"Are all of the members of The Fulkore Collective connected in some way?" I asked the ai since I wanted to know how or why they were so efficient as a group.
Yes, we are connected as one mind through a type of network that we were unintentionally given by The Ancient Cyborg Slavery Bureaucracy when they tried to take control of us to turn us against our creators.
That was a truly interesting fact to know about the race that I had become a member of in my new life after I was betrayed by the Terran that used my urge to prove my theory as a professor to extend his life at all costs.
Each of the Terrans that were on the ground in front of me each had on a gas mask that only covered their faces from the top of their mouths to their chins. This gas mask had the symbol of a white tiger claw on it, which meant this facility belonged to the house of Tigris.
Then I took the oxygen masks that the Terrans were wearing and jumped back into the facility that I had just left.
"Here I grabbed the oxygen masks that the Terrans were wearing so that you can come with me to the next building of the mining facilities." I said to the female scientist who chose to join us.
"Thank you" she said to me as she placed the gas mask on her face.
"I forgot to ask you. What do they call you?" I asked her as soon as I saw her put on the mask.
"My Name is Dr. Elara Voss." She said in a deep, altered voice because of the oxygen mask.
She then jumped out of the building, and I followed her to the opening to the next building where the pipe was cut off.
The next building was a facility that was clearly meant for the Terrans to stay in when they were away from their work.
"I will need to make it to my apartment so that I can get a project that I was working on in my off time because I think that it could be a very useful in us gaining access to the area where the leader of this mining operation lives without letting them know where we are at." Dr. Voss said to me as she stated to increase her movement speed, and she turned her back to me.
We do not have the time for this. I need to ensure that we get the Paradisus in its natural state so that we can refine it into the states that we need it to be in for our use.
After the ai spoke to me, I noticed that he took control in a flash because I was now in the pool of blue energy once again.
This time, I would need to try and make it to where the ai could hear me just like I was able to hear his thoughts when I was in control of the body.
In front of me, I saw a terminal that had a button on it, but I was not able to see how it was shaped or even touch it. with every swipe of my hands, I phased through it as if it was not there.
I began to focus, and I noticed that the terminal in front of me began to turn solid. Then I grabbed it, and I knew that I could clearly speak to the ai that took control of me only a few moments ago.
We are going to discuss when you will be taking control of my body. I will not allow you to just force your control over the body that we both share.
"It is good to see that you have finally figured out how I was able to talk to you while you were in control of the body that we both share."
I wanted to respond back to him, but I fell back and let go of the terminal due to the amount of my energy that I lost when talking to him.
"It is not so easy to be able to communicate through the terminal when you are the one on the inside." The ai said as he started to walk to the end of the hallway where there was an elevator.
The ai was right. It was not an easy task to maintain a conversation with the ai when it was controlling my body.
The elevator opened, and the ai got inside of it.
"You are truly foolish if you think that I will allow you to just come up here to my personal headquarters. You are clearly mistaken." He said to the ai through the speakers as the elevator started to move.
As soon as the leader of this ming facility finished speaking I noticed that the elevator began drop at a rapid rate which meant that someone had cut the wires that were meant to pull it up and down to the right floor.
The ai climbed out of the elevator from an opening in the roof.
It was a very narrow space that the au was climbing in. the ai jumped from wall to wall every six feet or so.
After the ai had been climbing for about ten minutes, they had made it to the top floor of the building.
After the ai opened the door, I knew that I had found the Terran that oversaw the operations of this mining facility because of the clear display of the wealth that this man possessed.
