System gang Chapter 5

In the previous chapter Yen realized after drinking coffee that he was sedated and some men entered his room.

When Yen wakes up, he realizes that he is in a tied up bed, his vision is still blurred and he does not understand where he is. The room is white and very well lit, there is no one around and it is very cold.

Outside the room you can see in through a closed circuit system. A microphone and a complicated panel with buttons and controls is part of what you see on site. A man approaches the microphone and speaks to Yen.

• Yen, can you hear me? Yen.

Yen still dazed by the sedative is babbling.

• Yen, do you know where you are?

• Who's there? Where does the voice come from?

• Your mission has been successfully completed.

• What mission?

• You were sent as a spy to the Neutron factory to work undercover to overthrow the central government.

• But I don't understand, how could I be working there if I didn't even know what my mission was. I don't know what you're talking about.

In the control room, Mr. Fonne appears, the operator mutes at the microphone.

• When did he wake up?

• A few minutes ago, sir.

• Did they talk to you about the mission?

• Affirmative, but don't believe our version.

• Insist

• As you command, sir.

• Yen, can you hear me?

• Yes, of course.

Yen is confused, he doesn't know why he's in that place. He also doesn't know how they got access to his house to put sedatives in his coffee.

• I repeat your mission has been a success, you are the most important man in the special forces.

• Why am I tied up?

• Because the sedative and the change in consciousness can disturb him, the goal is for him to return passively and safely. In a few hours you'll be eating and in a safe place.

• I understand.

Mr. Fonne is instructing that everything be arranged for Yen's arrival at his "home" in an old company dome that was adapted to kidnap Yen and make him believe he is a special elite military man sent to work undercover for Neutron Enterprises to bring down the Fonne government and its allies.

In the room where Yen is, two women and a man in pressure suits enter. They take off the straps that kept him tied to the bed and help him to stand up, they move him to a shower where he is bathed with a radioactive green gel. He is given clothes, shoes and a gun that doesn't really work, a badge with his name on it and different pins as if he were a general with a lot of rank.

An officer accompanies Yen to lunch and takes the opportunity to continue the speech.

• You must feel lucky, Commander Yen.

• I suppose so, but I still don't remember who I am...

• The change in consciousness can throw even the most experienced soldier off balance.

• Yes, but it's impossible that in a single day you could be someone else. I feel like I used to be just a working man and that's how I've spent the last 30 years of my life.

• It's normal that the liquid that was injected for the mission erases your previous life, memories of all kinds, so it's easy to get confused. Just receiving orders in the brain that help you accomplish the mission without risking top-secret classified files.

• Come on, I'll walk you home.
