Jerry, Biggs, and Wedge, excitedly lead their men to march towards the Spider supply base the soldiers are the same at first some of them are nervous and maybe a little afraid but all that was overshadowed by their excitement, this is their first battle after all but because of the enthusiasm and excitement their leader have, they too felt the same way that kind of feelings are contagious the positive thinking of their leaders are now affecting everyone.
As they get closer to the Spider Supply base, they saw the damage on the wall in full view but they notice something strange as they got closer it becomes more apparent the closer they got to the supply base its too quiet, they all thought that their enemies might be planning something so they become extra vigilant but that doesn't change the excitement they are feeling and when they passed the damaged gate they saw something that shocked them, in fact, it was not just them even their leaders were shocked…
Eve in order to give safe and quick passage to the shadow hunters with as few obstructions as possible.
Eve started to direct the battles between the top members subordinate and the HQ guards and the Spider army but that makes the top member's subordinates greatly outnumbered so to fix that Eve issue the so-called "traitors list" this level the playing field the list also includes all Beru's runners, that he has ordered to informed the captains of the system compromised,
but as they approach their target to give Beru's orders, the people who saw them shot them instantly, those people immediately recognize them as traitors that are to be killed on sight they are listed along with their faces and information along with their so-called crimes, they died in confusion they didn't know of the list, they didn't know that a list for traitor is issued with the shoot to kill order was given to all people in the base except for the select few like them and everyone in the Web conference room.
Of course, different groups receive a different list, and in order to encourage them, Eve reported that anyone who kills the traitors will be greatly rewarded when everything is over the rewards they receive depends on how many traitors they killed.
All this remained unnoticed by everyone in the Web conference room all leaders and elders look at Beru like he killed their mother and **** their sisters if the Head isn't there they might already tear him to pieces.
Unfortunately, the whole Web conference room is cut off from the rest of HQ and there's no camera of any devices here that can potentially leak what's happening inside the Web that includes the corridor that leads to the Web so Eve wasn't able to time his conversation with Head when she pretended as Beru she only realizes that when Beru burst into the door.
The leaders and elders points and accused Beru as a traitor, at first he was confused as to why is everyone is accusing him of being a traitor but a few moments layer he knew the reasons, a wry smile was hanging in his lips he knew that no matter what he said they wouldn't believe him he can only sigh.
"SILENCE!!.." Shouted the Head…
"This is now a very dangerous time for us, Beru is not a traitor our system is compromised someone else is using it against us. and all of us are in danger, as we are speaking our enemies might already be upon us." Said the Head
When Beru heard that he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Head our subordinates confirms it, I heard it from their own mouth, and I believe it wasn't just by subordinate can attest to that," said one of the Elder
"That's right Head my men confirms it too." Said another one
"That's right, my men too…"
One by one the Elders and Leaders confirms it.
"STOP! ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!!" shouted the head
"Didn't you hear what I said? our system is compromised, someone is manipulating it to confuse us." said the Head
"Head, how was that possible? The system can be hacked sure but the voices and video call from our subordinate as well as their identity code that only we know who can fake that and it wasn't just one or two but all our subordinates? How in the world is that possible even HFV or any power I know are not capable of doing that."
"If I knew I wouldn't be as confused as you are the reason I knew that Beru is not a traitor is that I was just talking to him on the com a second he burst in here he was just telling me in the com that everything is under control, that's why I was shocked to see him burst into the door because clearly, I was talking to a different people..." Said the Head
"That… how's that possible..."
Everyone inside the Web is shocked they couldn't believe what they just heard if its someone else who said that they will think he was just crazy and they will assume he or she is a traitor themselves but the one who said that was the Head there's no way to refute him as there's no way he would sabotage himself
"That's right the reason I come here in person is that I no longer trust my communication device, a few minutes ago everyone I call or ask about the situation said no problem even though I felt that they are lying to me but no matter how much we verified they all checks out. I become suspicious so I sent some of my trusted men to check, and guess what they also said?
no problem, when I call them on the comm but when I asked them to return they said ok but no matter how long I waited they didn't return, I called them again and again but they all give various reasons but in the end, none of them returns that's just one of the reasons but I have to say the way our enemies manipulate our comm was almost perfect, I have to rely on my intuition and instinct that I hone for many years to expose them but even when I do, I don't even know how to explain it. If the enemy didn't make a mistake in his conversation with Head earlier exposing their schemes do you really think anyone would believe me?" Said Beru
