Ray was about to ask another question but he got interrupted by Oxford who just walked into the room with his daughter, Azalea. Both Ray's head and Fier's head were facing the approaching humans. Azalea and Oxford stood in front of them, Fier and Ray also noticed that Oxford has both of his hands placed behind his back.
"Fier, I'd like you to meet my daughter, Azalea.", Oxford announced and gently the robot stood up and Ray moved his chair aside.
"Nice to meet you.", greeted Fier when they were shaking hands. Azalea has a smile on her face when she was focused on Fier but when she moved her eyes to the man wearing a white general uniform, a white general hat, and has white eyes, her smile got larger.
Ray stood up and carefully shook her hands with a simple smile also.
"How is everything so far?", questioned the girl.
"Good... good...", answered Fier.
"Ok. I'll be leaving you three.", said Azalea with a simple smile and gently walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"How old is she?", Ray questioned Oxford all of sudden.
"21, why'd you ask?", Oxford looked at him whilst taking a seat.
"She looks young...", answered Ray.
"You look too young to be 46 years old.", said Oxford when he sat down.
Ray remembered that he told Azalea and Zinnia that he has the same age as Oxford, so he only let out a sigh when he looked away from Oxford.
"When are you going to quit this week?", Ray let out a question out of nowhere.
"It will take us six days to arrive in London, on the seventh day is the day I quit, so when we arrived back home, you will be returned to your cell.", said Oxford.
"I see...", replied Ray with a faint tone.
"How long do you think that I will be there?", Ray questioned looking at Oxford directly at his brown eyes.
"I don't know Ray.", answered Oxford when he pulled out his phone that just buzzed in his right breast pocket.
Oxford looked down at his phone and found that Chap has just sent him a message. Chap told Oxford that all category ten life forms, viruses, medicines, objects, and aliens will be transferred to the second facility starting from Sunday next week but all kinds of weapons and robots will remain in the third facility. Oxford asked Chap about Ray if he will be also transferred or remain in the current facility. Chap doesn't have the answer to that question, all he said is that he doesn't know. Oxford put his phone away, back to his right breast pocket without even replying to Chap. Oxford looked at Ray and Fier when he announced what Chap has told him.
"Before I forget, what do zero hours mean?", Ray asked a question.
"They said it is an event that happened a long time ago.", answered Oxford.
"What happened?", Ray continued on.
"The reason why they are hidden behind those metal doors is to keep them away from anyone's reach and from escaping back to the surface. One time, an accident happened in the server room, as a result...", Oxford paused for a second. "... they went wild when they got out of their designated cells, good thing is that not a single one of them didn't make it to the surface, but millions of employees died just to prevent them. Believe me, I still have no idea why they called it zero hours."
"Were you there at the time?", Ray questioned.
"No. They only told me that it happened just a century ago.", said Oxford before letting out a sigh, just to honour the victims.
"Another question... How are they going to transfer them to the second facility if they don't even have the codes for the locks of the doors?", Ray let out a question.
"That's a good question actually... give me a moment as I contact Chap.", Oxford told Ray who was staring at Fier who was just quietly listening to them.
Oxford stood up and moved a few inches away from the chair when he pulled out his phone and make a call to his friend. Chap was cleaning his equipment in his laboratory when Oxford called.
"Ray has a question that also makes me wonder, how are they going to transfer them without the codes?", Oxford questioned right after Chap greeted him.
"I also have that question, but I didn't get the answer for it. The guards today are acting weird all of sudden, but they told me that they'll be leaving 0177 here in the facility since it is impossible for them to get him out of his cell.", said Chap while he carefully disassembled the microscope.
"Well, we are still not safe with him around.", replied Oxford, talking about test subject 0177.
"I feel safe right now in my house.", said Chap.
"Yeah right... I'll talk to you later.", commented Oxford before ending the call.
Oxford turned around and returned to the to males who were watching him from behind.
"I'm sorry but I can't answer your question for now.", Oxford told Ray with his head slightly tilted as the wind blew his hair gently.
"Can you tell me more about what are behind the metal doors?", Ray asked Oxford.
"You know Slender man?", Oxford started off with a question.
