The Research Area of the Research Center saw a steady flow of engineers, researchers and other personnel mumbling, shouting, discussing and in all kinds of fights.
There was a single dropship in the center of the area, afloat by magnetic levitation. Everyone was busy retrofitting the dropship with various equipment and the latest Superluminal Engine Drive.
"Hurry up lads! Hey you, where are you going?" One of the incharge of the Area saw someone running towards the exit as he shouted.
"I forgot to tune in on the Academy channel, today is the beginning of the Tournament and our Division is the first." The person replied but his steps did not stop.
The incharge nodded and let him be. Soon every broadcast speaker was connected to the Academy channel and Critus's voice could be heard from the other side.
