Clang!
Robots appearing through the glass walls of a bar, as if they were shouting, ‘FBI open up!’
Unlike the robots that came to find Minho and his group, which had almost human-like voices, the guys spat out cold, mechanical voices from the speakers.
[Scanning… Scan complete. Total of 21 people. 15 armed and equipped with combat cyborg parts. All actions must stop. Stay still and follow instructions.]
The appearance was also very different. You could tell at a glance that the weapons were stored all over the body, from the thick armor that was applied and the bulging appearance that seemed menacing here and there.
Compared to this robot, the robot that came looking for Minho and his group looked like chopsticks.
That was only natural.
These were not ordinary law enforcement robots, but rather suppression robots that were deployed in the event of civil unrest or armed conflict between criminal organizations.
“Cluck, cluck… ! What… ! Why is Jamad already… ?!”
The bartender, who had been crouching to avoid the glass shards, woke up in shock. He couldn’t even open his eyes properly because of the strong searchlight emanating from the chest of the suppression robot.
[Stop moving!]
Kwak!
“Ugh… !”
The riot robot approached, repeating the instructions, and grabbed the bartender by the shoulder and roughly slammed him to the floor. This was the price for disobeying the order not to move.
He had no choice but to sit down, his shoulder in such pain that it felt like it was going to break.
‘What the heck…! What the hell is going on?’
The bartender’s confused eyes turned to the suppression robots taking over the bar.
Normally, if someone were to break one of Jamad’s robots, everyone else would just let it go without a hitch.
The culprit who broke the robot because he couldn’t control his overflowing anger would be dragged to Zamad, but the rest of the personnel would just watch as the culprit was subdued and dragged to Zamad.
This means that unless you touch the robot directly, you won’t be arrested or take any action.
It was nothing new, as it had happened several times at the bar he ran.
The decision to close down operations for the time being was more of a preemptive measure taken to avoid attracting Jamad’s attention.
But this time something was different.
It was strange that so many suppression robots were dispatched so quickly for such an incident, but it seemed that they were trying to capture and interrogate everyone in the bar.
‘Are you finally ready to destroy my store?’
The bartender guessed that their main purpose was not to arrest Minho and his group and Kai Delshad, but to raid his shop.
It was true that he had been taking a very risky approach while doing business, so he thought that Minho and his group destroying the robot at his bar was an excuse to crack down on brokerage.
At first glance, it seemed possible, but in reality, it was different from what the bartender had guessed.
It was true that Jamad’s suppression robot had come to find Minho and his group, or to be precise, Kai Delshad.
However, the problem was that even Jamad did not know exactly who Kai Delshad they were chasing.
What the bartender didn’t expect was that Jamad was taking this matter more seriously than he had thought.
The problem arose because Sarah and Maria had blocked the robot’s information, and because space pirates had recently been raiding more and more within the planetary system.
Following Minho’s instructions, Sera created a barrier to prevent the signal from leaking outside, and Maria used her supernatural powers to destroy the storage device beyond repair.
Normally, all you would have to do is find out who damaged the robot and arrest them.
But thanks to Sarah and Maria, Jamad was unable to obtain any information in this case.
The only information they had gathered was that just before the robot’s signal was cut off, it had entered the bar looking for a man named Kai Delshad.
Unfortunately, contact with the robot was lost before a signal could be sent from the bar that Jamad had been keeping an eye on.
Based on that, Jamad concluded that this bar was a gathering place for some kind of subversive elements.
Maybe there’s some connection to space pirates outside.
In fact, it was difficult for smugglers and immigration brokers to have any connection with space pirates.
Because the navigation coordinates that were not controlled by groups like Zamad or imperial nobles were good navigation routes for space pirates.
If you sail secretly, avoiding the eyes of the empire, you will encounter space pirates at least once.
Since space pirates, smugglers, and immigration brokers all have something in common in that they operate in illegal areas, they do not necessarily become enemies of one another.
Some smugglers dealt with space pirates, supplying them with supplies and obtaining the items they wanted, while some immigration brokers sold refugees to space pirates as slaves.
That was also the reason why Jamad took out his sword so decisively this time.
There weren’t that many crazy people in this bar run by a bartender, but in their eyes, these brokers and space pirates were no different.
The only people who could vaguely guess that were Minho and Kai Delshad, who had excellent intuition.
Whether the bartender was confused or not by the unexpected turn of events, Jamad’s suppression robots did what they had to do.
[You have the right to remain silent, and your statements can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to legal representation. If you do not have legal representation, the Imperial law states that Jamad, the administrative body of the frontier system Frontier-7016, will act as your attorney.]
The part informing them of their rights was played as if it were a separate recording, in a bright woman’s voice.
It was a terrifying sight to see such a cheerful voice coming from a heavily armed suppression robot.
But of course, those who operate in areas that straddle the line between legal and illegal would not readily submit to arrest.
“Pop out!”
“Get out of the way, kid! I’m going first!”
“I knew this would happen, so I memorized the evacuation route!”
From the guy who runs out like a water pump with a scared look on his face, to the guy who looks around the back door, laughing because he’s paid for his drinks.
There were only about twenty people, but there was a wide variety of people gathered there.
However, none of them succeeded in escaping.
Jiying-
[Based on the judgment of the scene, any person who flees will be arrested as a criminal caught in the act and obstructing the investigation.]
The robot with its shining lens began to take action with a cold mechanical sound.
The armor covering the robot’s arms and shoulders opened, revealing dozens of gun barrels inside. The suppression bullets fired with a loud noise hit the limbs of the fleeing personnel through careful calculations.
Crackle!!
“Eeee… !”
The batteries built into the bullets that hit them fired off electricity. Then, the people who were hit flinched like fish that had been harpooned and fell to the ground like logs.
Those who were unlucky enough to have their cyborg parts struck by bullets and over-currents flowed through them, their circuits burned out, and they screamed as black smoke poured out of their limbs.
The suppression robot tied them up in groups of three using the restraint tools it carried in its arms.
[Total of 21 people. Arrests completed. Will be transferred to the management office.]
“What the hell did we do!”
“Eat some shit, you little tin can!”
[Additional action may be taken against uncooperative personnel.]
Woohoo
A transport drone detached from the back of the suppression robot approached to move them.
‘… This is the end of this.’
The bartender looked dejected as he watched the drone approaching him.
He didn’t know why Jamad was being so aggressive, but he didn’t think that once he was arrested and imprisoned, he would be able to get out of there safely.
‘It’s fortunate that Kai isn’t here. Since it’s come to this, I hope he doesn’t get caught.’
I didn’t really have any complaints.
Judging by Jamad’s reaction now, this bar would have ended up in a similar way in the end.
However, one thing that was regrettable was that if I had known this would happen, I think it would have been better to actively deal with the space pirates and give Jamad a hard time.
‘Then it wasn’t unfair.’
Woohoo
Just then, they were lifted into the air by a transport drone and were about to be moved.
Blink –
The vision darkened momentarily and then brightened again.
A phenomenon that is similar to blinking one’s eyes hard.
What was odd was that not only the bartender, but also the unblinking suppression robot observed a similar phenomenon.
It was as if the world had suddenly turned off and on.
‘…what?’
[… Unable to connect. Unable to connect to control center. We will take autonomous action based on our on-site judgment.]
