In a dark, cold room with a wooshing sound coming from somewhere, Harth enters the room and slowly closes the door.
The phone rings with a soft tone, and Harth rushes to the phone, must be someone important calling.He picks up the phone and answers the call.
"Dore! You're just in time to call me," he said, "the machine is ready, and we just need the crystal to test it!"
"Okay, that's great news. We just have to get the crystal before those greedy maniacs have it." Dore said
"See you at room 327! I have urgent wo - "The call was cut short as someone repeatedly knocked the door harshly.
Harth stared behind him, raised his shoulders, and walked to the door.
The knocker yelled with a deep and robotic voice, "This is the EAFA! If you do not open the door in one minute, we will open fire and burn your office!"Harth opened the door and got kicked by the knocker, a cyborg with fire powers.
He shouted in pain as his property was being confiscated by EAFA crystal soldiers.
The knocker glared at Harth in an eerie way. He yelled, "We detected a violation of the law stating 'People or organizations with unauthorized ownership of government property are to be termininated unless they give in to confiscation'"Harth's fists clenched as he thought to himself, "Those bastards listened to our phone call and broke in. They don't understand. The power crystal is not theirs to be!"
He reaches out to the right of him and grabs a 2027 automatic gun. He shouts, "Get out of my place, or you're dead! You can have my property, but get out of here!"As always, the soldiers retaliate and give a shot up the air. So Harth raises his gun and shoots all the soldiers, leaving none.
Then he realized, "Dore, he's going to the room! He might face termination by the EAFA!"He sprints out the door, covered in sweat, and he glares at everything around him.
He goes down a lit green hallway and stops at a dead end. He runs back and stops at the spiral stairs and goes up.
There are certificates and medals at the walls, but Harth doesn't wonder at them as he's used to. He has to save Dore.As he arrives at the next floor, water soldiers have their weapons and hands ready to attack Harth. He simply bribes them with rusty vintage coins, and they walk away.
He then enters the room at his left, and he's surprised as the room smells like lemons and also free of dirt, unlike other rooms . Dore was there all along, making lemonade and cleaning the room.
Harth's eyes are wide open.
He says with a questioning tone, "You're not at room 327. You're at room 237. That's not what I expected, anyways why are you here?"
Dore says, "Okay ill answer that later, I have a few questions.
How did you get through the EALA?"
"The first group I mercilessly massacred, I feel guilt. And I bribed the second group. So again, why are you here?"
"Okay. I fled here because this is the safest room in the building,"
"The safest room? How do you know that?"
