THE NUCLEUS
S.W.A.C. II: EXCERPT: CHAP. 11: “CARNIVORE”
Dr. Payne and Sergio were in the basement level of the two-family flat where Yosul’s loft was located. The had been working diligently on constructing an operations center. Truthfully, Dr. Payne had covertly worked on the center nearly three years now with Dr. DuCroix, Sergio, Val, Yosul, Ameer, and Glenn. The center was now in its final stages.
With the team currently spread out on various missions; the center’s purpose and usefulness were already in need. Professional, private contractors were hired for construction of specific portions of the center. The contractors had to sign a Confidentiality Agreement, and Non-Disclosure form prior to the start of any work. They were videotaped signing the documents, as well as identifying themselves and stating their acknowledgment. They were also monitored closely by Lost Tribe and via video surveillance. Dr. Payne could not risk any public leaks about the center.
This center would be the team’s eyes and ears for not only monitoring Midwest City, but also NAF’s entire Central Zone. Sergio and Yosul had spent many late nights installing miniature, hidden cameras and motion sensors at key locations throughout the city and the structure itself. Glenn had even managed to plant several in MCPD headquarters but regrettably, none could be activated until the Breaker Box at Kemetic was operational again.
Dr. Payne was not the brains of Yosul’s and Lost Tribe’s crusade for nothing. Dr. Payne had considered everything; Gangland’s downfall, MCPD’s scrutinizing investigation of Glenn, the Lost Tribe-Gangland feud, the attempts on his life, as well as Glenn’s, and finally, the interviews which would eventually exterminate Ghost Squad. He knew tension between both factions would escalate dramatically, and they’ll be forced to relocate to safer dwellings. He dubbed this center, The Nucleus. Just as he had envisioned, it would supply all their needs for everyday living, combating their foes, and more. Enthusiasm and fervor boiled within his bloodstream as he tooled away anxiously on a control panel.
