AMP Rebellion

by Stephen Arseneault

  Og stepped forward, nearly trampling Reifek where he knelt, his voice booming over the comm. “Who dares trespass on a Colossus world?”

  Og’s comm immediately scrambled as he switched channels. I slumped back behind the control box and pulled Duane down with me.

  I spoke, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore Duane.”

  Duane replied, “Kansas Sir?”

  I sighed and continued, “Never mind. It’s an old reference from the Grid archives. I need to stop using those as they aren’t quite as popular as I remember.”

  A rumbling could be heard as a second team with military style uniforms pulled up in a vehicle behind the soldiers. The same thin breather packs as the workers wore, were evident on their chests. From the blue stripe on their uniform shoulders I took a guess that they were the equivalent of our SCore agents.

  I slumped back down as the agents began to crawl onto the harvester. “Duane.”

  Duane replied, “Yes Sir?”

  I continued as I looked down the tracks into the blackness of the tunnel beyond our position. “Looks like we may be here for a while.”
