Ch.19

It's the 19th Ch. of Denma.

Summary
Denma thinks Apple meetings take place under Silverquick's surveillance in an online game space using encrypted gaming terms. There're about 30 members of the Apple currently, making up about 1% of all Quanx contractors in Silverquick. And, each of them collect information about Silverquick piece by piece, to build an internal map of Silverquick's station 7. Quanx deliverers are frightened by the Silverquick's reign of terror. That's why there are only about 30 members of Apple. The only silver lining is those who depart every month with a load of cash upon the termination of their contract. But, that hope only applies to the dimwits who have nothing on their shoulders.

And Denma thinks a year, that means he has to break out of Silverquick in 6 months at the latest. Because he must return to Guyrin before it's too late.





Just 6 months earlier, at the end of war with Big Four who're El's soldiers, Dike went to frequent bars after hearing that Jet was going to meet Aaron with his colleagues. He thinks that day only if he hadn't taken that drink on top of his battle fatigue.

Then Denma thinks this is that Apple have on Silverquick so far. Silverquick is a subsidiary of Pax Industries, a defense company. Defense companies are known to be linked to most Quanx abduction cases due to their desire to weaponize Quanx abilities. For example, Sten Industries is successfully built an anti-gravity bomb using an anti-gravity Quanx, and it became the No.1 defensive company in the 8th universe. Consequently, companies started investing huse sums of money on hunting Quanx. So much for the interspace mortals rights agreement. And Pax Industries is owned by Silverquick pseudo-religious organization, whose galactic size is beyond any imaginable scale. For example, Silverquick stations besides the station-7 Quanx deliverers are staying in, are much larger as they handle large to mega class commodities, more common in space logistics. Station-7 alone carries 2,500 Quanx deliverers on top of 3,500 mixed-sex regular deliverers and staff, totaling up to about 6,000 residents. But no matter how liberally Denma guesstimate the living areas of all workers plus the office and storage areas, more than 60% of the space is left unknown. The huge amount of garbage discharge certainly tells them there're more residents besides workers. As someone once said, they may be researchers from Pax's weapons R&D. Here, a tiny and extraneous noise that constantly blends in.

Crying Daddy's closest friends says to Denma and Jet that they killed Crying Daddy.
