The sound of the AI speaking brought the trio out of their reverie as they each turned their gazes towards the massive tinted booth at the top.
"Zoey Starhaven, please approach the black pod on your far left. Atticus Ravenstein, approach the white pod in the middle. Kael Stormrider, approach the black pod to your right."
The trio turned their gazes towards their assigned pods and then looked at each other before nodding and immediately approaching their respective pods.
Atticus found it odd about the AI's instructions. 'Why is my pod the only different one?' Atticus pondered while gazing at the pristine white pod sitting in the middle of the room.
Apart from that, compared to the other two pods, his was larger, way larger.
'If this was about rank, then shouldn't the pod belong to the first rank?'
It felt odd, incredibly so. Atticus didn't need to be a genius to know that he was being given some sort of special treatment.
