Chapter 3: A Voice...!?, Death....
Slowing down considerably, Zar discovered a hard, metal, cube-shaped object in the office-like room. Knocking on it a couple of times, he figured it was the safe he was looking for. The source of the resonance was also coming from inside it.
However, with today being weeks in the planning, he had, of course, accounted for the existence of this safe.
Taking an insect-like creature out of a bag hanging by his waist, he placed the huge pincers of the insect up to the side of the medium-sized safe. A second later, the insect clamped down on the safe's metal surface, releasing an acidic green substance that rapidly melted what it touched.
Tossing the insect aside, Zar patiently waited for the acid to finish dissolving the right side of the safe. Afterward, he reached his hand inside while avoiding all the dripping acid. His arm moved extremely fast, grabbing whatever was within before taking it out just as quickly.
Clutched in Zar's right hand was something that forced a wide smile onto his normally stoic face.

'A voice!?'
Before he had the chance to ascertain the source of the mysterious robotic feminine voice, Zar was suddenly pressed to his knees by a powerful aura.
