 "- is Afer." the commander had said.

"That is a rather unique name." Kenjaku said.

"It is but I don't mind." he said with pride. Kenjaku just nodded in return. "Anyways let's get going, i wouldn't want to keep the higher ups waiting."

They all nodded.

Walking to the gate, the guards open it for them. Walking outside, they left for the Atlas.

It had been awhile since we had left but we had finally reached the Atlas. It was massive, I could see lights just about everywhere with people walking around and talking loudly. Compared to the camp this was a distinct contrast compared to each other.

We had walked to the building in the middle of this place. It was massive, definitely more than 100 meters tall.

Walking inside, I could see a couple other people here, mostly women, they were probably Nikke's, walking around the place with some people that were wearing the same type of uniform of Afer, probably other commanders. They seem to not care about the Nikke's and I could see some of the commanders that looked at them with contempt for no apparent reason.

I ignored it and continued to follow the commander.

"Well we finally got here, let's rest for a bit, alright." the commander said. The other's nodded, leaving while I followed him.

"Why are you still following me?"

"Because i don't know what i am supposed to do nor where to rest. I have only recently come here."

"Oh..... ummm..... How about you just stay with me until we figure out what they are going to do." he asked, i nod. I continue to follow him to his quarters.

It was the next day. I was woken up by the commander and we were called to go to the simulation room. Supposedly they had a conversation with Mister Anderson but didn't wake me up as he said i wasn't needed currently.

Walking to the simulation room, I looked around the place again. There weren't many people here, probably had missions or something similar, but the place was quiet and clean.

"How did you sleep here Kenjaku?" the commander asked, taking me out of my sight seeing.

"It was fine, i wasn't able to fall asleep as quickly as i usually do but it was mostly fine."

"Oh, okay...." the commander was trying to have a good atmosphere but didn't know how to. I didn't blame him, I knew I wasn't the best person to have a conversation with.

"Hey, Kenjaku...can we talk later-" Anis asked before looking over to the other 2, "- preferably by ourselves."

"Sure."

"Alright, thank you." I nodded.

It didn't take too long to reach the place. Walking inside, I could see that there were few other people here but the person with the most amount of presence was the woman in front of us.

The woman was tall. She wore a white vest that was tied around her waist and had red on the inside with a gray shirt underneath, a white pants with white heels. Her vest also had a type of cape on it that reached to her knee, it was white with red on the inside. Her hair was brown that waved apart to the side of her head.

I could tell that she was important despite the fact that her presence wasn't that dangerous. I bowed to her, I could tell that it slightly surprised her but was able to cover it up quickly.
