BLACKSMITH CHRONICLES: WHO IS HE? #Part 5 FACT is a technical unit specialised in tracking down terrorists, their funds and sponsors. We detect their ghost bank accounts and trace the movement of the funds to specified dealers of various illegal arsenals utilized for planned strikes on detailed targets and we proceed to intercept and neutralize. The “TEAM” comprise of young proactive professionals from Britannica Empire, Arcadian Republic, Tartary Empire and EKO Republic. I was the only Ekosian chosen to represent the republic on this Elite Strike team. “I applied for the slot 6months before the circular went viral, you lucky son of a gun. GBOSA! For you Segezy “said Ophidius my colleague and best mate from the academy to me as I boarded the EKO-707 Amphibian Helicopter routed for Kinshasa to resume duty. “Call me when u touchdown. Am gonna miss u man” Ophidius said as the aircraft lifted off the surface. OPHIDIUS SERPENTES is a mixed breed Ekosian. His father was a Brazilian snake charmer while his mother was an indigene from the OLOWOGBOWO ancestry. He benefited from his mother’s ancestral heritage through his enlistment into the EKO MARINE CORP. We were training mates in the academy and we both got posted to MI8 within the same Ordinance section. A communiqué was being circulated in our division stating that interested officers who were willing to join the newly established FACT Unit should apply through the CO’s office. The communiqué informed that there was only one slot for the most outstanding officer in the department. Ophidius relentlessly tried to convince me to apply together with him but I declined standing my ground on my distaste for competition. I wasn’t ambitious but Ophidius was, so he applied immediately the communiqué was released. He didn’t even wait for the Circular, he hurriedly applied and his application was kept in view. Serpentes was equally a good soldier from a generation of pedigree; his father was a renowned Occult consultant for the Brazilian government. “The CO wants you in his office ASAP Segezy. What have you done this time?” voiced out Serpentes. “Me? You know me well enough to understand that I have a passion for keeping a clean slate”. I uttered. “Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Mr No- Nonsense. Oga dey call u sha” Serpentes said and he walked down the corridor humming our action theme anthem. I walked to the CO’s door and knocked. “Knock knock!” “Come in” answered our CO. The auto-door opened and I walked in. To be continued... Blacksmith Chronicles created by SIMISOLA OPEODU.
