Chapter 83: Medicine.

Shi Lang has been sitting in front of a holo-computer with his fingers flying all over the keyboard as he extracted information from the four people. He has been cross-examining every single detail they uttered. He had the skills to heck in and initiate a conversation but he was not proficient enough to check the conversation history of the people. 

The communicators were programmed in such a way that every single operational code had a separate set of firewalls protecting it. Shi Lang was exhausting himself just to keep the hole open while he was conversing. After an hour, he sighed and let go of the keyboard. He said, "Ma'am, we are done here. The conversation is enough to show that the doctor has the ability to produce other living organisms by manipulating his body, and this guy can use this ability for both creation and destruction." 

Gamma raised her eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?" 

Shi Lang said, "Imagine a nano-bot put inside your body in the name of curing and monitoring your bodily functions. However, some psychopath decides to take control of the nano-bots and embed them inside your central nervous system. Imagine the power that, the operator will have over your body? In this case, the hallucinogen is the add-on."

Gamma heard his analysis and stood up from her chair. She said, "This sort of ability-user is kept under strong surveillance, how can he do such a thing?" 

Lullaby said, "What if the people in the surveillance had no idea of the ability being so potentially dangerous?"

Gamma shook her head and said, "The surveillance is not so useless, they have people to speculate what the extent an ability can be used to. They even take into account the possibility of mutation. What is going on here?" 

Shi Lang said, "Why are we using so many brain cells, we have the evidence and the culprit in our hands, it is time we have him do some work."

Gamma nodded and said, "Should I leave this task to you? Ace." 

Shi Lang stood up and said, "It will be my pleasure. Also, I would like those four to be escorted here and have the video to be broadcast directly throughout the whole base. Before we begin, do tell everyone that these four were our precious moles." 

Gamma and Lullaby shivered at this thought and the former asked, "Why do you want the whole base to see this?" 

Shi Lang said, "They need to recognize their friends and foes clearly. They let down their guard and they allowed these moles to sneak in. If their plan was executed perfectly then this whole brigade would have been wiped out. Do you understand what that would mean? Did you forget what the federal government did to the planet in the sector- ACU32? The forces were annihilated and the planet was bombed with a planet killer psion beam. The whole planet, billions of lives were erased in a blink.

The soldiers must understand that their job is not only to kill but also to safeguard lives. From the moment they accepted the surrender of the natives, it was their job and duty to save them from that massacre, on the contrary, these blood-thirsty ignorant dicks want to raise their guns over entities who only killed for self-defense? Shame on them calling themselves the Federal Military forces." 

He spoke calmly but the emotion was conveyed properly. Gamma looked at him with faint admiration. She nodded and using her communicator she told the four of her squad to drag the four culprits over to the control room and before she did this, the lady pressed a button on the controlling console in front of the commander seat. 

...

The soldiers were performing their patrol duties and other tasks when they all heard an announcement on the speakers. 

"This is Gamma, the leader of the investigation team. During our proceedings during the day, it was discovered that the brigade stationed here has been infiltrated by a few moles. These moles were the main culprits behind the massacre. These five people have been apprehended and their identities will be released to you all after a few minutes. 

Firstly, the security level has risen to level red. Second, all the patrol teams will retreat from the periphery and they will be stationed on the sentry posts to guard the base as they watch the following broadcast. That's all. Those who do not want to follow the commands will be accused of being an accomplice with the moles." 

Her cold voice echoed through the base and the people were shocked they did not expect the culprit to be hiding amidst them. The acting commander did not lag behind by much and issued the same commands as Gamma and got the soldiers to move quickly.

Gamma was aware that the acting commander would be able to get the soldiers and she called him to the control room with his adjutant. The man was aware of the unspoken facts and he quickly rushed over. Sharpnel, Hunk, Tian, and Carole had already bought over with the other four and they had been strapped to the chairs. 

To make them all behave properly, Sharpnel had tied a booby bomb to their bodies. This bomb would vaporize everything within five meters around them if he were to detonate it. Shi Lang released the content of his conversations to the intranet on the base. Every soldier was able to see through the details and they felt ashamed of blaming the natives, who were clearly the victims. 

When everything was ready, Shi Lang stood in front of the doctor tied to the chair and he held a syringe filled with a red and blue liquid inside it. This was something the boy made with the substance available to him inside the base's medical supplies. The effect of this liquid was to render the ability of the person in front of him useless for a limited time, approximately six hours. 

Shi Lang walked over to the doctor and injected the liquid inside his jugular vein. Carole was responsible to film everything happening inside the control room. Ten minutes after the liquid was injected Shi Lang slapped the doctor. 

The person had no idea what happened to him and from the strong impact on his face, he woke up with a loud shout coming from his mouth, "WHO THE..." 

However the voice died down as soon as he saw his four accomplices sitting behind the man in black (Shi Lang) 

The boy asked in a cheerful voice, "Why don't you complete what you just wanted to say, Doctor?" 

His voice drew back the doctor's attention to him and he continued, "The four people behind him have already given me enough evidence to kill you right now, but I would like to know a few more things from you personally, I hope for your non-cooperation." 

The doctor acted as if he heard something wrong. Shi Lang chuckled and said, "Do not be surprised, I will not have my fun if you told me everything I wanted to know so easily. Let me work hard, you know." 

He walked over and crouched down in front of the man. He asked, "What is your name doctor?" 

The man gulped and said, "I am Major Santana Dacosta." 

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Would you like to shine some light on the matter of you using your ability to take control of the higher rank officers in the base?" 

Santana Dacosta suddenly smirked and said, "Since you already know all this, why do you ask? I did not expect anyone to figure out the oddity." 

His voice did not have a shred of shame but even pride. His admittance made the base descend in silence. It was as if he had done some great merit. Shi Lang smiled and suddenly caught hold of the pinky finger of the right hand. Then he exerted strength and a crisp click was heard throughout the base. 

Followed by that was a high-pitched scream. Shi Lang took out a silver needle box, he had taken earlier from the infirmary and stabbed a point on the hand, this eased up the pain for Santana. His forehead was covered with sweat. Shi Lang said, "How wondrous is it that despite the strength of a five-star Terran, you can still wail when your finger is broken. Do you know why?" 

The man shook his head subconsciously. Shi Lang said, "Ask me then. Like I am asking you." 

The man asked, "What is it?" 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I took away your ability with medicine. The medicine I injected into your body can cure your cold and cough, but the side effect is that it can increase your sensitivity to ten times. Hehe, do you like this medicine?" 

His words sent shivers down everyone's spine and not only Santana sitting in front of him. Hunk could not help but text Gamma using his communicator, "Boss, you sure this kid ate his medicine in the morning?"
