Wisely series: Chapter 1 Fragile Mission Ruggedized Snowcone

"Munich group army is initiating their plan. You have 30 minutes to stop them," the commander urged me. With a sense of urgency, I opened the AWS Snowcone, only to find the funnel turned upside down, revealing the AWS console on the control panel.

Making my way to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, I navigated through the bustling atmosphere filled with various conferences in progress—AWS recap conference, Police and Bodyguard Recruitment conference, and Middle East Officer Equipment Exhibition. The venue was crowded and noisy, with people conversing in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and Italian. Amidst the diverse crowd, I kept a keen eye out for individuals who spoke German or possessed a German accent.

Arriving at the Latin restaurant, I approached the restaurant manager confidently and stated, "I have a meeting with Mr. Kim."

The manager nodded, confirming, "Sure, Mr. Kim has already reserved a table for you."

As I took my seat, I noticed a tactical military gear safety tool storage placed on the table. Curiosity getting the better of me, I opened it and discovered the AWS Snowcone nestled inside. This portable device served as a means for data transfer and edge computing, capable of collecting, processing, and providing the necessary computing power, storage, and network accessibility virtually anywhere it was deployed.

Just then, the commander approached me. Seizing the opportunity, I asked, "Why do you need me for this mission?"

The commander gazed at me intently and explained, "You are on the list of AWS community builders and possess a Security Personnel Permit. You encountered active German security military at AWS re:Invert. You know them from the Mandalay Bay private room. Only you can identify them."

Puzzled by their interest in me, I inquired further, "But why am I their target? I have my own financial business to attend to."

The commander's voice carried a weight of concern as he replied, "My informer reports that you are their target. The reasons remain unknown, but what I do know is that they have a grand plan that could devastate the entire Far East financial market."

With a determined expression, I nodded and asked, "Alright. Where do you want to meet?"

The commander responded without hesitation, "Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre."

Taking a moment to prepare, I pinned a security badge to my shirt, put on sunglasses, and wrapped a yellow scarf around my neck. Beneath a police officer coat without a security signal, I wore my commando uniform. This was no ordinary case; it was a special secret mission entrusted to me by a top-level police security commander, requiring me to locate the Munich group army and put an end to their impending attack.
