Chapter 33 The Golden Liquid & The Looming Problem
Chapter 33 The Golden Liquid & The Looming Problem
?A few hours ago.
Aron's body could be seen laying on a pool of his own blood.
Nothing seemed out of place if you don't focus on the blood, other than the body of the person that should have died from blood loss continues acting as normal, except the body owner not waking up.
Inside of the said body for those who were blessed with magic vision could see golden liquids continue moving through its liquid vessel(same as blood vessels) to the heart and from there to the organs of the body without being interrupted by the emptying blood vessels being rid of their blood.
The moment the blood in the body fell to a dangerous level the golden liquid immediately shined and started doing what the blood was supposed to do.
From body defense, nutrients transfer, oxygen delivery to carbon dioxide collection like it was a normal Tuesday for it.
While the liquid was working hard to keep him alive, the golden letters in and on the heart also lit up and started sucking something from the atmosphere. when they were collected and condensed they also turned and started looking the same as the golden liquid.
This was because the golden liquid was being spent and wasted as a result of it doing something that it was not made to do. As they said there is no gain without loss, but in his situation the loss was being replenished immediately by the runes in his heart, so he was losing nothing.
The loss of blood also helped as it allowed the heart to focus on replenishing and moving the golden liquid without having to also pump blood.
Another weird thing was that the bullet was still in the body, normally if someone else was shot from the same close distance, the bullet would have gone through like paper, but for the body on the floor it was still lodged inside it.
This was caused by the golden liquid that kept slowly improving the body for the period of more than three months, making the body get better and harder the longer the time passed.
This improvement went from improving the brain, hardening of his bones, strengthening of the organs to improving & hardening of the skin.
But since it was done in a slow process, it caused his family and him not realizing it was happening.
.....
FBI San Francisco.
In a meeting room, there was a conference meeting with people from FBI headquarters attending it.
People such as the FBI director Robert Mueller and his assistants were in attendance through a video call.
As for the physical office, there was Special Agent in Charge (SAC), Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) and the Special Agent in Charge of the Intelligence Division.
"What is it? you said it was an emergency?"
Asked Robert Muller as head to postpone a meeting to attend this one, due to the report saying it was urgent.
"Yes sir" Replied the Special Agent in charge.
"Go on then"
"Yes Sir, one of the people we were doing physical surveillance operation has been shot and is in hospital"
"Which one? Be more specific"
"Aron the creator of BugZapper"
"Wasn't he one of our surveillance targets for protection? Then what happened to our agents on the field if he was shot?" Asked Muller
"They retreated from the surveillance operation few hours before the target was shot"
"Why?" asked muller.
"Our surveillance was to make sure he doesn't leave the country until we complete the implementation of the program in our infrastructure. So after it was completed we extended it for two more weeks and after that the operation was considered complete, hence the retreat. But a few hours later we received a report from police that there was an armed robbery in his house."
He stopped to take a breather, then he continued
"But when they investigated they found that nothing was taken, other than the target being shot"
With that he finished the explanation.
"So what is the urgency in this?" Asked muller as he still didn't see the need of calling it urgent.
"Well, after a short investigation we found out that the room he was shot in was his work room which leads us to suspect industrial espionage or foreign nations interference and wanting to have the source code of the program."
"Now that is not good." Said Muller as he started thinking about the consequences of that for them.
"Any suspect in mind?" Muller asked.
"We suspect that it is a Russian agent's work, they have been moving since the Facebook incident with the NSA" replied the Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC).
"Then why shoot him if they got the thing they wanted?"
"It seems he tried to fight back or something similar happened, but from our information on him he didn't have any hand-to-hand combat training, as for why he was shot in the stomach and not directly killing him. We suspect it was because they didn't want to attract the attention of the intelligence Agencies, that's also the reason they waited until our agents retreated from the location."
"Okay, keep an eye and give me an update if the situation changes . I will inform POTUS about it" Answered muller and ended the video call causing the room to return to its calmness.
"Looks like he is not going to blame it on us." Said the Special Agent in Charge as he sighed in relief.
"Yeah because if he does, we are fucked." Added Assistant Special Agent in Charge.
....
Ten minutes later
Muller the director of the FBI could be seen being escorted by a motorcade that was heading to the Whitehouse, so that he could brief the president about the situation.
After he arrived, he had to wait for the president to finish his meeting for him to be allowed to brief him.
When he was allowed to enter the room, he entered the office and found the POTUS Barack Obama, the secretary of state John Kerry and the secretary of defense Chuck Hagel.
After greeting them they started the meeting.
"Sir, we suspect that Russia has stolen the source code of BugZapper." He immediately went to the main topic without wasting any time.
"How did they do that?" Asked the secretary of defense as this was a problem for him.
"They infiltrated the residence of the creator of it and shot him but the police investigation indicates that nothing was stolen other than an open computer in the workroom, nothing else was out of ordinary" he explained.
"Sir if they have the source code it might be a threat to us" Secretary of state chimed in to the thinking Obama.
"don't we also have it?" He was curious.
???d? n??a| ?om "We have the program but not the source code of it " he answered.
"So, why is it a threat?" asked the secretary of state.
"A team from CYBERCOM investigated the program and found that if we have the source code to it, we could use it as inspiration to make a program that doesn't need the source code to find a system's weakness." Said the secretary of defense.

" If we can think about it Russia can too, and since they already have it they might have already begun working on it" Added Obama, taking the topic more seriously than before.
"Yes Mr. president, If they really are the preparators" Answered secretary of defense while looking at the FBI director
"They are still suspects but we will have evidence of it very soon as we are looking into it," Added Muller.
"So what do you suggest?" Obama asked.
"We should also get our hands on the source code and start our own work too. This will ensure we are not left behind" Said secretary of defense.
"How? Because If I remember correctly they said it was their proprietary technology and they are not planning on patenting it at all" Said Obama while trying to remember the details about the contract.
"We can ask them for it, but if they decline we will have no choice but to force them."
"What are the ways we can use them to force them?" Asked Obama as he knew few of them but not many of them.
The Secretary of Defense smiled as he looked through his bag and removed a document then he handed it to the president, state secretary and Muller.
"Looks like you were also here for this" secretary of state smiled as he opened the folder only to frown after reading the options they could make.
'This dude fucking is crazy' is the only thought that could come to his mind after briefly reading the few options on the file, and the more he read the more sure of his hypothesis he became, because some of these options might cause heavy economic repercussions and destroy the free markets trust on them, if they decided to go ahead with some of them.
Obama didn't seem to think any differently as him, as he was giving him the side look saying are you seriously suggesting some of these options.
"I know this is my last term, but are you trying to get me impeached in its first year?" He asked.
