Lieutenant Ferct deposited Ves and Lucky in the ready room.
When he entered the room, he saw that it was decorated just as plain and drab as the rest of the Pit. Despite the luxury and splendor on display in the rest of Centerpoint, the Rim Guardians deliberately eschewed any comfort.
Was it to introduce some hardships to its visitors? To make the Rim Guardians remember their humble origins? To state what they were fighting for?
Ves couldn't tell. As soon as the lieutenant left, Ves instantly turned his attention to the other occupants in the room.
"Hi."
None of the other people in the room reacted to his entry. They all eyed at him warily.
From their clothing and other signs, Ves could tell that the other people were Journeymen like him. They also seemed to come from various corners of the Komodo Star Sector.
