>>5756787In a moment of quick thinking, Solar decided to create a diversion to draw the drones away from the frightened children, Ingo and Mai. He activated his built-in holographic projectors and created a lifelike illusion of a cache of valuable resources in a nearby corridor.
The drones, ever vigilant for resources, were immediately lured by the illusion. With a flurry of mechanical wings, they swarmed toward the holographic mirage, their talons clashing with thin air. Solar's diversion had succeeded, sparing the children from imminent danger.
As the drones continued to engage with the illusion, Solar seized the opportunity and guided the two away from the perilous scene. The children followed him closely, their wide eyes filled with a mix of relief and gratitude.
"Thank you, mister," the small boy began, tears filling his eyes.
"You're Solar, aren't you?" The girl asked, running her hands along the boy's back to try and keep him calm as they moved along, "My name is Mai, and this is my brother Ingo. Thank you-"
"There will be time to talk later," Orcus interjected, "for now we should get to the safety of the bunker."
"You're Solar, aren't you?" The girl, Mai, asked, running her hands along the boy's back to try and keep him calm as they moved along, "My name is Mai, and this is my brother Ingo. Thank you-"
Before the heartfelt gratitude could fully settle in, Orcus interjected, his metallic voice resonating with urgency, "There will be time to talk later, for now we should get to the safety of the bunker."
With Orcus's guidance, they hurried through the labyrinthine tunnels of the underground safe haven, leaving the drones behind, engrossed in the illusion. As they reached the relative safety of the bunker, Solar couldn't help but wonder about the situation at hand.
Inside the bunker, surrounded by dimly lit corridors and makeshift accommodations, Orcus turned to Solar, his large eyes conveying a sense of purpose. "Solar, there's much to be done to unravel the mysteries of the Decay Virus. I need your help. We can work together to find a cure, to save the people of this city."
Solar faced a pivotal choice. He could offer his assistance to Orcus in his quest to research the Decay Virus and potentially save countless lives, but he also had to decide how involved he would become in the ongoing efforts.
