Everyone was still left dazed by the initial Sonic boom.
"What just happened?"
"Look up at the sky!"
Everyone looked up and saw a blue object moving further and further away from them.
"How fast is he going?"
"I don't know, but he has to be way faster than the speed of sound."
Soon a speedometer was brought out to guage the speed of the suit.
The meter kept rising,
Mach 20... Mach 30... Mach 40... Mach 45... Mach 50
And then the meter stopped, "Mach 50, that's fifty times the speed of sound."
Philip could barely believe it, he stood were he was staring at the sky in disbelief.
Even Dexter's colleagues were left in awe, they knew the suit was good but they didn't know it was that good.
************
In an underground military facility, they caught something on radar that was moving at an astonishing speed.
"How fast are we talking?" The commander asked.
"Mach 50."
"WTF!? That fast, can we identity the object?"
"No sir, but it seemed to have launched from Angela Research Facility."
"Let's go there."
***********
After Dexter landed with the suit all the departments rushed to him to get a piece of the pie.
They knew that if they could collaborate with his department they had a chance to see the blueprints for the nanotech.
"Hey Mr Teen, we would like to collaborate with you."
"Need some extra hands, you got it."
Some even went to Travis and the rest to get a collaboration.
Of course they declined all the advances for collaboration, that was how people were, when you are in need no one would know you but now they had achieved something great everyone wants a piece of the pie.
************
The host was able to get everything back in order and they could continue the competition, but no one was concentrating, everyone was still thinking about department A-5 nanotech.
"I am just happy we get to see the suit in action again."
"Yeah, I would have been frustrated if I only saw it once."
"What are you saying, the once was enough for me, most people wouldn't get to see tech like that in their life time."
Philip at this point had, had enough, he was about to turn and leave when a video popped up on the big screen.
It showed Philip when he was searching department A-5 for their tech.
There was collective gasps from the crowd.
"I was wondering how Department A-16 could copy A-5 but it seemed that Philip went to spy on them."
"That is disgraceful and shameless."
"I can't believe I once looked up to department A-16."
Everyone was insulting and condemning department A-16, all Philip and his crew could do was leave with their heads hung low in shame.

Angela was in her office, she had already been informed of what had happened at the competition by her assistant.
"Boss you have such a good eye, to be able to discover a talent like Dexter is amazing."
Angela just smiled and didn't say anything, no knows more than her how much of a gamble it was to chose Dexter but luckily it paid off.
While she was still in thought her secretary knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Ummm... Ma'am, members of the California Military Camp are here to see you." She said worry written all over her face.
"To see me, for what reason?" Angela mumbled but still asked for them to be let in.
Soon a huge burly man walked in with a skinny short man in tow.
They were both clad in army clothing, making them look more imposing.
Angela looked at them with a calm face waiting for them to explain the reason for their visit.
"Hello Mrs Angela, we are here to ask about the UFO that was sighted flying from you camp."
Now Angela was really confused, there was no UFO anywhere near her camp.
That's when she remembered Dexter's suit, it had been reported to her that the suit could fly at a speed of Mach 50.
"If it was me I would also think it was a UFO." Angela thought.
The huge man seeing her silence thought she had no idea of anything and went on to say,
"Mrs Angela, we are sure of what we saw, so please if you would allow us to do a routine check of the facility that would be helpful."
"No,no,no, you don't need to do a check up, I was confused when you guys called it a UFO but now I understand what you guys are talking about." Angela paused before she continued but this time with her voice lower.
"What I am about to tell you is highly classified information but I would make an exemption for you."
"Enough with all of this, just tell us where the UFO is and we would be on our way." The huge man said clearly annoyed with Angela's antics.
Angela didn't get angry and went on to say,
"It was not a UFO, it was a suit created by one of our Departments."
