The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1263 - 432: Detected Anomaly (6k)_4

Light sent the message to several Mechanical Master squads, and then commanded a portion of the Mechanical Forces to provide support.

"This should solve the issue, but given the current assumptions, it seems that while these systems are the problem now, other areas might have similar issues that just haven’t surfaced yet.

If problems do arise later, it will be troublesome, so we need a thorough inspection...

We might as well take this chance to conduct a full internal inspection of the entire headquarters.

For the teams currently available..."

The main intelligence began to calculate silently, birthing a new idea. Though unable to determine the suspected intrusion, it was still able to arrange for routine maintenance.

After meticulously planning the details of this idea, it sent new orders to the various sub-intelligences.

However, as an intelligent entity, it failed to notice that the instructions it sent had already been detected by things parasitizing the internal network.

"Inspection? Energy consumption anomaly?

Indeed, even a high-tier artificial intelligence is not to be underestimated...

Everything was covered so perfectly, yet it still noticed anomalies from such minute details..."

Not far from the command tower in the Star Port, the commander Undead was welcoming companions who had smuggled in using the same methods, when a companion, who was supposed to be gathering intelligence in another area, suddenly approached, bringing this news.

The commander, overseeing all Undead operations at the headquarters, almost immediately realized where things went wrong.

To connect with the territory and transmit intelligence, they had used too many quantum communication devices, in addition to the extra computing power occasionally used for searching databases.

Even if they could cover records physically, they couldn’t offset energy consumption, which was discovered from those subtle differences.

"What should we do, do we need to take action?"

The Undead who brought the message asked.

"What a pity, with our capacity we can’t control that 8th Rank artificial intelligence, otherwise things wouldn’t be this complicated...

The areas where anomalies were detected still need addressing. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Based on that intelligence’s suggestions, we should create some minor errors in those systems to provide them a plausible ’result’, at least to get through this inspection.

But this serves as a reminder for us; we have to pay more attention in our future actions to avoid detected details..."

"I’ll go arrange it now."

The messenger Undead left a sentence before departing as hurriedly as it came.

Leaving the commander Undead alone in the intelligence of the hangar, gazing through the hangar’s surveillance at a certain docked spaceship, continuing the former thoughts.

"Where was I again...

Oh yes, once this batch of Undead joins in, with enough manpower, the mission from His Highness can begin to be arranged.

We must infiltrate those coordinates via the spaceship, and coincidentally, there seems to be a spaceship coming from that direction these days, perhaps we can schedule something upon its return...

Also, we have to come up with another method for the intrusion here.

In the past few days, we’ve infiltrated the surrounding Star Ports and warehouses, gaining some useful intel, but none that His Highness desires...

It seems, only the database guarded by that 8th Rank intelligence might contain this intel...

There must be a way to take a look!"

Following the internal lines, the gaze of the Undead "looked" in the direction of the main intelligence, inciting various ideas within.

Recalling the special circumstances brought by the Undead earlier, the commander Undead suddenly conceived an idea.

Since they could intentionally leave problems in the machinery to cover anomalies without being detected, the same could naturally be done with other more important devices.

They were trapped in a misconception.

While they knew they had infiltrated this headquarters and could manipulate metal, nobody in this headquarters knew that!

Let alone their presence, not even their nature or capabilities were known!

"Perhaps, we aren’t entirely without opportunity?"

The Corrosion Incident: Confidential File, Special Task Unit, Code Name "Faith Hunter" Headquarters encountered a major energy reactor corrosion incident, ultimately subdued by 8th Rank Reviver "Intelligent Machine" Terry, with no casualties, initially identified as a mechanical component quality issue, but now confirmed to be caused by Electronic Ghost Insects...

[Remark: Never expected, the Insect Swarm appeared in the Starry Sky so early and even invaded our military stronghold, all without being noticed...]
