Back in the same meeting room where the leaders sent by different organizations that had a stake within the dimension, Augustus, Janet and those injured Stage 3 Energy Refiner that could already move were once again gathered.
They're all listening to the soldier reporting about the situation outside the camp, the casualties and the damages. The room was dimly lit, with the smell of burnt metal and sweat hanging heavily in the air.
Augustus, as the Camp Commander, had a solemn expression on his face. They might have successfully defended the camp and prevented the berserk rift monsters but the progress they made within the dimension had all but reverted to zero. The loss of lives and Metadomes were substantial, not to mention the damage to the camp itself. Before they could venture forward to more unexplored regions, they had to regain and rebuild the forward camps that had been destroyed or trampled over by the rampaging beasts.
