AST
PHASE 37 . MESSINESS
The sound of the danger sirens rang again. The entire red light in the control room flashed and flickered. Some operators appear to be operating holographic screens in front of each.
“What information has arrived?” Li Yue seemed to click a button until she showed another screen in front of her. An operator sent something and helped the commander open it.
“We were forced to hack his front camera, sir,” the man's operator said.
The screen that had just appeared suddenly revealed a shocking sight. The face of the main Clibanarii belongs to a western alliance that is going head-to-head with a robot controlled by Jason Kim. Adara and Naomi are shocked.
“A-what happened?” naomi asked the man next to her.
“Sarkan?” Adara mutters. His eyes did not escape the screen in front of him.
Li Yue screeched. He nodded as he continued to look at the screen. The fight was so fierce that it made the main commander of the eastern alliance feel strange.
“Check camera on the right side!” tell the operator.
The man who had been sitting next to Li Yue nodded, then carried out the orders of his superiors. An
another screen is next to the previous screen. However, the screen this time only showed a meaningless black color. Li Yue's forehead wrinkled.
“What happened to Jason?” muttered.
Meanwhile, Adara gulps down the saliva. The battle he saw made the masculine side within him stiffen. For some reason, something was different from Sarkan.
Is the controller really Adnan?
The girl shook her head bitterly. Actually, he really did not want this to happen. However, the session
excessive thinking supported by the monsters in his head made his body feel heavy instantly.
Adara had not had time to say anything, suddenly someone broke through the door and entered the room. Everyone looked over, including the black haired girl.
“Sam?” Adara made a sound, though in the end called out the name of the man who had just entered it.
Sam seemed to turn to the girl, before he finally looked at Li Yue. His breathing was stingy and it seemed as if he was in a hurry. “Paladin,” he said with eyes on the commander of the eastern alliance.
Adara frowning. Just now that he left the CB-222, the robot was still silent and he did nothing either. “What happened to him?” tanyanya inocene.
Naomi took a breath. “Sarkan's existence must have activated his control now,” he said, not even understood by his own daughter. He looked towards Adara who was standing next to him. “You forgot something?”
Adara's forehead is getting fused. He tried to remember how his training process was during the middle of the eastern alliance this month. Something that became the chat Jason, Kei, Sam, and himself at that time.

Adara just got off the Clibanarii simulator. He finds Kei who has just come and greets Jason and Sam. The two men were waiting for him outside the simulation room.
“Oh, hi, Adara!” hello Kei. The doctor looked so good today. “How was your training?”
The girl instead of answering turned her head towards Jason and Sam. The two men then flinched.
“Ah, it is good enough in my opinion,” replied Sam while turning to Kei. “You just need to relax your muscles so that the movement of Clibanarii is not stiff.”
Jason chimed. “There are several systems in Paladin that will be different from the simulator you use, Adara,” he said pulling attention of the girl.
Adara who had just sipped her drink then swallowed it quickly. “What is it?” tanyakanya.
“Then, I had a chat with your father when the two Clibanarii were about to be released. They got some sort of ... bounding, you know?” jason said with his arms cupped to each other in front. “It's kind of an Entanglement. If one is active, then it will attract the activeness of the other. If one dies, the other will try to pull out the rest. You understand what I mean?”
Kei sighed profusely. “Do not use your high-level language when talking to Adara, Stupid,” sarcastically.
“I just don't understand,” said Sam who is still sitting in front of the operator dashboard.
Adara was silent and thoughtfully. “So, even if no one controls, can they still be controlled by one?”
The man surnamed Kim nodded. “Unless at the same time, when someone controls Sarkan, you also control the Paladin,” he replied as he pointed at the girl in front of him. “It will probably slightly reduce the Entanglement between the two.”
“Wait a minute.” Kei slipped the conversation. “If what you mean is the law of attraction, why on
during the military operation that time only Paladin was destroyed?”
Jason fell silent, trying to grasp everything in his memory. “That's because ..”
“Um ..., one of the controllers is reluctant to fight?” sam who has been thinking hard. “So when the Engtanglement happens, then only one of the parties can control it and it makes the party concerned can destroy the Paladin which is not controlled by anyone. Or in another sense, the controller will send the Paladin to ... commit suicide?”
Adara was a little snapped. Not only himself, Jason and Kei also looked at Sam.
“I tried this system to some Clibanarii while still in Spot Ankaa and the results, as I said just now. If there was only one Clibanarii in control and he could control the others, then he could have asked another Clibanarii to do Kamikaze. You guys know Kamikaze, ‘kan?” continue the man wearing
the astronaut uniform is blue.
Of course Adara understood every inch of Sam's words. He thought, What if Sam's words have a point? What if it turns out that his father was not killed in the war, but was killed under the guise of suicide?
“You know, Sam.” Jason voices. He looked at the Clibanarii simulator in the room. “Since officially released, no one has been able to control Sarkan other than Reynald. That's what I know from Richard,” he said. “With Reynald, died before the military operation took place. So, who do you think controlled Sarkan back then? Sarkan and Paladin are designed only for certain people who are destined to control it—”
“Do both have other controls besides the manual controls we usually use in other Clibanarii?” cut Sam. “Since moved here I have never checked the cockpit of the Paladin, Captain.”
Jason jerks. The 180-degree-changing look on his face attracted Adara and Kei's attention at once. She's speechless.
“You ... made me remember something, Sam,” he said later.
“Um .. I have a mind, how about the control you mean is through the control of the controlling system?” sahut Kei's.
Jason closed his eyes. He breathed a moment. “You are right, Kei,” he said.
“What? Me?” Kei looked puzzled, even though he had just opened his mouth.
“Sarkan and Paladin have control using the EWF system,” Jason said. “I remember, Richard had told me about this system before.”
“Hah? EWF?” Sam frowned.
“Energy Wave Frequency. It's a system that can only be used by transferring the energy of its controller
as the supplier of the power of the Clibanarii,” replied Jason.
“Is it the same as we control it ourselves? Like a simulation game?” keep Adara.
“Even worse than that,” timpal Jason. He sighed, then shook his head. “What matters, don't let you
use it tomorrow!”
“Hah?”
Kei again sighed profusely. He patted Jason on the shoulder. “You're too overthinking, Jason,” he said. “Begini,
what are the risks that will occur later if the controller uses EWF? You haven't even told us!”
Jason was a little growling. “I ...”
“You know something, ‘kan?” whispering Kei to make the man whose hair was disheveled smile bitterly at him. “At least tell us so we can prevent unwanted things from happening, Jason.”
