LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 32: Chapter 32
At the same time [Livonia - Michigan] Detroit
Klaus who was still within the large underground facility could be seen sitting at a corner in a large dining area . In front of him at the corner sat a man with unconcealed rage in his eyes as he slowly gulped down his own course of meal, he kept on mumbling after eating his portion.
"Ma boy, they got him killed"
"My boy was killed by them"
The man in ragged breathing stood up and made his way towards his own confinement. Unlike the rest present who very much hated the idea of being confined, this particular man was entirely different.
"You must be wondering why he's like that, huh" a feminine voice cane from behind Klaus.
"I never said I was interested in gossip" he replied with a slight frown.
"I am ruth and Well you'll have to hear the gossip then, that man there he's a formal detective for the special ops. Name's Eddie Stark". She briefly introduced herself
"..."
She paused wait to see Klaus curious reaction but was disappointed to only see him slowly eating his own meal course slowly with slight trembling of both his hands.
"You're no fun. As I said he's stark and his boy is rumored to have been killed by one of the other federal agents present in line of action but the man insisted that it was a deliberate attempt"
" He filed several complaints for investigation to be conducted on his son's murder but we'll he ended up killing each of whom he thought were his son's suspects in his son's murder"
"Tragic ain't it" Klaus chuckled and also in almost same manner as Eddie walked towards his own confinement room. Each room was made of tinted bulletproof glasses with the basic amenities needed for growth provided with the exception of electronic devices. Each prisoners couldn't see their neighbors since the glasses were tinted.
"He sure is grumpy and too suspicious" Ruth said before walking over to other detainees.
Klaus In his own confined space, just sat on the bare ground.
The confinement room was a stark, futuristic cube carved out of the cool, dark earth. Its walls, floor, and ceiling were all made of thick, tempered glass, providing an unobstructed view of the surrounding underground facility.
The room's tinted walls seemed to glow with a faint, eerie light, courtesy of the soft illumination emanating from the facility's fluorescent tubes. The glass floor beneath your feet was polished to a high shine, reflecting the dim light like a still, redden pool.
As you looked around, you could see the blurred outlines of pipes, ductwork, and electrical conduits snaking through the darkness beyond the glass walls. The air was stale and musty, with a hint of disinfectant and ozone.
A single, narrow door made of solid steel, with not even a small glass window, not breaking the otherwise seamless glass enclosure. The door was equipped with a sturdy-looking locking mechanism and a small, recessed control panel.
Inside the room, the only furniture was a slender, minimalist bed, also made of hard wood and feathers, with a thin, white mattress and a single, crisp pillow. A small, glass-topped table and a single, ergonomic chair were positioned against one wall, with a compact, wall-mounted console above them.
The overall atmosphere was one of clinical, antiseptic sterility, as if the room had been designed to minimize any potential distractions or stimuli. It was a space intended for isolation, observation, and perhaps even experimentation.
This was same for the other rooms which was connected together in rows.
Klaus looked towards the commer of the room feeling disgusted at the inhalation of air since everything around him was cultured. He soon closed his eyes wandering how much time had passed and for the first time since being captured his eyes showed great sadness.
" I hope they are safe and well" he murmured as he laid to rest.
Back on the farm land.
"Where in God's name are we , why do I have to do this?, I just asked him a question and bam both of you twenty minutes first lesson Don't complain or bargain what's his deal anyway" as expected Ryan who always complained sure did his thing.
The others just laughed at his comical figure. The sun was already setting and knowing fully well that the old man isn't the type to joke they all just get on with their roles of cleaning the messed up ground.
" Alright it says here that after assessment and clearing Dig around the crack, meaning Use the shovel to carefully dig around the cracked area, creating a shallow trench. This will help you access the crack and stabilize the frame.
Then tamp the soil meaning Use the mallet to tamp the soil around the crack, making sure it's compact and stable. This will help prevent further shifting or settling" Oscar read out from the paper in his hand, he then continued,
"Fill the crack If the crack is shallow, you can fill it with soil, sand, or a mixture of both. Use the shovel to fill the crack, and then use the mallet to compact the filling material...huh! I thought soil and sand were the same though"
"Where'd you get that" Claire looked at him knowing fully well that no electronics were allowed during training hours even when they were in their respective dorm at Mace
" Suspected something like this was going to happen so...kind of made preparations, anyways it also says
Compact and stabilize meaning of course to Continue to use the mallet to compact and stabilize the soil around the repaired area. Make sure the frame is level and secure and lastly a Final check involving Inspection of the repaired area to ensure it's stable and secure. Make any necessary adjustments and since it's a farm land we'll need grass and definitely that plank"
Although the task given to them seemed crude and simple at first sight. But after hearing how to go about it from Oscar who read it from a manual, they all felt headaches.
