Ty quickly left Nanako's room, his mind focused on the task at hand. As he hurried down the hall, he noticed that the desk where the receptionist had been earlier was now empty.
The vacant seat and minor scratch marks on the table suggested a hasty departure, adding a small but intriguing detail to the scene.
Once outside, Ty pulled out the rectangular device General Mattison had given him. Under the moonlight, he aimed it towards the sky, seeking a better signal or view.
The screen lit up, displaying a map with a small marker indicating his location and a bead showing his destination approximately 15 miles to the west.
The device provided guidance, much like a GPS, surprising Ty with its sophistication.
"Wow, this is a bit sophisticated," Ty mused to himself, impressed by the technology. "Even without any satellites, they have GPS?"
The thought puzzled him, but unable to figure out the technology behind it, he decided not to dwell on it.
