"The line is flooded. The current prediction is that it is on the 16th floor. The mechanical door on the 16th floor automatically opened due to a malfunction and seawater poured in. Now it slowly enters the 17th floor."

Naomi sat in front of the display screen, looking at the warning that gradually turned red from the 16th floor on the detection map, and immediately asked Director Makino for control authority.

"Now we must completely isolate these three floors before the water pressure breaks through the 18th floor of protection, Director!"

Grace also realized the seriousness of the problem and changed her image of a nymphomaniac: "On the bottom floor, there are servers that can host the cross-age system and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department police surveillance system. Director, if sea water enters there, this base will be destroyed." It’s all in vain!”

"Naomi-kun, please immediately seal off the 16th floor, the 17th floor, and the 18th floor."

"I will immediately report the rescue measures to Hachijo Island and ask for their support!"

While inputting the command, Naomi grabbed the phone at hand and prepared to call for help. However, when she saw the signal interruption reminder, she immediately turned her head and looked at Makino in disbelief.

"Director!"

In the director's position, Makino covered the signal receiving button of the ocean buoy. After pulling it up to isolate the signal of the entire base from the outside, he looked at Naomi and shook his head.

"This mission was finally approved by the international police. Naomi-kun, what will happen if we ask for help now?"

Grace held her chin and said solemnly: "I'm afraid the news will immediately expose our mistakes, and the surveillance rights we are about to get will be refused to be handed over to us by the Japanese police on this reason, and the ocean buoy must be abandoned. Or sell it to someone willing to use it as an aquarium at a low price.”

"Not only that, Naomi-kun, your hard work, the cross-age system project will be completely delayed, and it will not be started again until ten years at the earliest."

Makino is unwilling to give up this opportunity. As the director of Japan's cross-age system ocean buoy, he can use some powers that can only be used by senior Japanese police. If the mission fails before it starts, he may not be able to retire obediently.

"But, the base is flooding now..."

"The intrusion of water will not affect the servers on the lower floors. Haven't you already isolated them? We will treat the lower three floors as if they never existed at all."

Makino crossed his hands in front of him: "As long as the ocean buoy is completely stable in another week, the International Police Headquarters will continue to send funds, and we can repair the three floors."

"What a joke!"

The German at the door of the command room slammed the door frame hard. He stared at the three people inside and shouted: "You said you want me to stay in a place like this for one more week?! Don't be ridiculous!"

Leonhardt looked at the red warning on the largest screen, which showed that the abandoned 17th floor had been completely submerged in sea water, and the 18th floor was not immune to the disaster.

"Since there is a problem, it must be solved, not covered up, which will not solve the problem!"

Leonhardt seemed certain that the three people in the command room would not agree with his point of view, so he ran towards the diving path room inside the ocean buoy and left a message.

"As long as you find the fault of the mechanical door, close it manually, and then use a water pump to slowly drain out the seawater. This method is much better than just watching in the command room!"

Seeing him taking the initiative to overstep his boss again, Naomi's helplessness, Makino's dissatisfaction and Grace's ridicule appeared on the faces of the three of them at the same time, and they suddenly showed moved expressions when they looked at each other.
