Hours passed and Tristan remained locked up in that room. Apparently, he couldn't leave the room, this fact identified by the metallic band around his left ankle.
He had already been informed by one of the other staff but had tested it anyway. The moment he had tried to step outside of the room a blue barrier appeared and no matter how hard he pushed or how hard he punched he simply could not get past it.
The issue did not bother him much thankfully, since Leng visited him rather frequently, and the man engaged him in long conversations. Tristan learned from him, and the man also gained details from Tristan.
Even while only staying inside that white room, Tristan learned a whole lot about the outside world. Mainly the large towns. Or the 'Cities'.
Apparently that base was close to one but remained on its outskirts. Still, they referred to its location as being in the city.
