Soon, Tony and Akira approach the group of senior officers who are now whispering while looking at the personal data, and Sandra's background from the Great Ruler Population Department database.
The Ego Commander, rushed out of the Psychiatric test room while pressing the screen on the watch to activate the earphones attached to his right ear. Ego walks outside the building.
"Yes?"
"Roves? It's me, Ego. Remember?" tanyanya while going down the stairs and walk towards the terrace facing the waters with many floating objects shaped like a transparent coconut shell, prone, so that the man standing in it—turns a board that has a propeller below as a mover—looks clear.
"Oh yes, of course. Commander Ego, what are you looking for me for?" roves asked sounding.
"I know about Otka and Sandra." Instantly, Roves fell silent. Ego's face is serious because of what he will say. "I'm threatened with punishment if the government ever finds out about this lie, but I take the risk. I owe Rey my life, and this is how I made it up to her. Are you on my side?"
"Yes, of course. Tell me what do I do?" tanya Roves sounds ready to share the disaster if this thing is revealed.
"OKAY. Listen to this carefully," continued Ego who finally prepared a scenario and involved many people including the Roves family, Eliz, and even Vemo later.
"I understand, I'm ready to do it. Make sure, Sandra passes and is not affected by this mistake of mine. Thank you, Ego," Roves said, then hung up.
The Ego Commander wiped his mouth and exhaled a long breath. He stepped back and now entered the psychiatric test room. His face was tense, as the Officers gathered.
"The Ego Commander," called Vice President Lala looking at him sharply.
"Yes, Mam," he answered politely standing firm.
"You know Otka Oskova?" Ego nodded. Akira and Tony glanced at each other. "Can you explain? Why is Otka's statement, not in the file? Did he abuse the rules?"
The ego takes a deep breath. Tony looks tense including Akira.
"I can explain, Mam," he replied in a perfectly prepared manner. Everyone is seriously listening. "Otka Oskova was actually married, but Roves did not approve of it, because .. her child was pregnant outside the marriage and did not get her blessing. You could say that the marriage was done unilaterally and not done in the Great Ruler, but on the border. Yes, District 10," replied the Ego calmly.
"Hem. Continue," Pinta Lala looks interested.
"A tragedy happened. Otka's husband is a man from District 10. Remember the incident when troops from Russia and Siberia came to attack the Great Ruler?" Lala and all the Officers nodded. "Suami Otka was pronounced dead because of the attack. Otka recklessly broke through the border to find out the truth, but she was affected by the attack at that time which caused her to miscarry."
"The border supervisor said Otka often visited District 10 using the identity of her father, Roves. What's he doing in that place?" ask the senior officer, Colonel Brego.
"Have you heard of Vermendis Vemo?" Those people nodded. "Otka got word that her husband was still alive. Yes, Vermendis Vemo is Otka's husband. When she found out her husband was alive, Otka tried hard to bring Vemo into the Great Ruler, but always failed," Ego answered smoothly.
Akira and Tony glanced at each other with a nod of their heads.
"Oh, it's worth it that the delinquent man always volunteered dozens of times, and insistent on wanting to get into the Great Ruler. Turns out this is the reason," Admiral Joe said as he put both hands in his pants pocket.
"Yes, like that, Admiral," replied the polite Ego.
"Then, why did Otka apply to become a User?" ask Lala full of search.
"I knew Roves quite well before he finally retired from the Military. Roves said his health had declined dramatically. If he dies, his two children can't stay in the Great Ruler anymore, and he doesn't want that to happen. Therefore, as Otka's redemption for having defied his father's advice, Otka forced him to become a User. The hope is, if he succeeds in becoming a robot User at least level E, he can be placed in District 10. He can still support his family, and can meet Vemo while on duty. Yeah, a pretty ingenious way of outsmarting his complicated life. Anyway, I can understand why Otka is reckless about doing this. He, feels responsible to his family," said Ego seriously with his explanation.
Officers gathered, including Akira and Tony. Secretly, the two men smiled faintly and Ego smiled back with a look away.
"The vote?" ask Captain Tony to open the discussion.
"Get through" replied Admiral Joe to the point.
"Graduate," Akira added.
"For sure, pass," press Tony steadily.
Finally, 9 Officers who were in the room—without Ego— said they agreed that Otka Oskova graduated. Now, the eyes of the men were staring at Lala sharply.
"Well, pass. I don't want to be demoed by you guys" replied Lala resigned in the end.
The officers smiled and looked satisfied with Lala's decision. Akira and Tony approach Ego who is standing alone not included in the discussion.
"You're supposed to be a movie screenwriter. There is rarely a drama like this" whispered Akira, and Ego simply smiled wryly.
"If you don't remember Roves falling into poverty, I'm going to ask him for a heavy fee" Ego replied with a flat face. Akira and Tony chuckled softly.
Sandra, confused by the emotions up and down because of the shows she watched, began to calm down again as she sat down and the television could not be turned on.
PIPS!
"Otka Oskova, come with us," let two bowling ball-shaped robots into the room full of mirrors. Sandra stood up and walked out of the room looking nervous.
Sandra was taken across to another building using an underwater tunnel.
Sandra looks amazed because she does not know if there is an amazing place under the green seed-shaped building.
For a moment, Sandra remembered the residence of the Blue Colosseum. Sandra was also astonished, why the shadow of the blue-eyed man could not escape from her memory.
Until finally, Sandra's eyes widened, and made her steps slow down when she saw another facility that seemed amazing to her.
A corridor with many doors on the left and right sides. Blue light with a layer of iron walls strengthens the modern futuristic impression in the place.
Sandra looked amazed, until two bowling robots stopped at a door that turned out to have a barcode number like on her arm.
Sandra put the barcode on her wrist closer to the front door blue light sensor. The blonde woman stepped in when the door opened automatically.
"Please. This room is now your room. Today's test is enough. Take a break and wait for further instructions from the Eco room assistant. See you, and congratulations. You are now joining the Great Ruler Security Department" said two green robots.
"Oh! I passed the test? I'm accepted?" ask Sandra widening her eyes.
"Yes. Hurrah!" the two robots answered, calling for excitement by rolling to and fro as if they were happy for Sandra's graduation.
The woman was crying haru. He did not expect if he would pass the test and his dream to become a User would be realized. Sandra thanked the two robots.
Two green-colored robots shaped like bowling because it has 3 eyes, out of the room that Sandra will now stay for a while until the next instruction she receives.
Sandra looks amazed at her new room that looks different and modern.
"Hempf. Finally," he said with a sigh of relief and eyes closed. 'Just a little more, Rey. Once I become a User, and find Matteo, I will make that man regret his actions. Your death must get justice, ' Sandra said in her heart with a bowed face.
