Reprecussions

Chapter 10

We head over to the constructors' space. I saw Alyssa go in there when we were walking over to talk to Faith. I slap the rock of the opening to grab her attention. They have their space similarly set up like the runners. To the right there are lines of different tools, ranging from a screwdriver to a power drill. Next to those, they have cords that go to different tools I think. In the corner, that connects to the back wall they have barrels full of blueprint paper. Along the back wall they have current ideas on blueprints pinned.

On their table they have bits of paper, pencils, pens, black markers, push pins, and their books they keep for new recruits. On the left wall they have gloves that go with some of the tools, extra boots and they use when they're building, some of the hard hats, and some other protective clothing they use when they're building.

She turns and waves us in, she's at the back table as well. All the leaders have to be in their spaces first thing in the morning, incase I need to talk with them privately. Once all their workers come, they can go get breakfast or they can someone go get it for them. Again we meet halfway.

"This is Ren, he's the first in command of the boys." I say and Ren sticks out his hand. Alyssa shakes it.

"Alyssa, leader of the constructors." They let go and Alyssa turns to me.

"How did your girls react to the boys getting sent here?" I question.

"Surprised at first, then irritated, then cooperative when explained." She answers.

I nod and ask the next question, "Plans for today?"

"Judging mostly. Seeing what they specialize in and then picking opposites for each person from there." She answers, though she glances at Ren who has wandered away from my side to inspect all the tools.

"Don't mind him, he won't touch." I say, loud enough for Ren to hear as well. "Are we getting along with our opposite?" I question her.

"Matt's fine, smart. We are thinking about discussing some ideas on the lunch break." She says and ties her curly red hair up in a bun. Ren makes it back to my side and I nod at her.

"That will be all, once you find positions for each person, let me know." I say as I start to walk backwards. She nods at me, and with that we exit the constructor's space.

We catch Brooke on her way to breakfast. "Brooke." I say and she turns around.

"Brexley." She says back and glances at Ren.

"Ren, first commander of the boys." She shakes his outstretched hand.

"Brooke, leader of the watchers. Anything specific you wan to talk about Brexley?" she asks, turning to face me.

"How did your girls react to the boys joining you?"

"Good. They realized, that with more people, you don't always have a shift every night. They were pretty happy." She explains.

"What's your plan for today?" I question her.

She takes in a deep breath. "Well, I think that I'm going to find opposites for everyone and then figure out the shifts they would have."

"Well, when you find everyone's opposite, I'd like a list of them." I say back to her and she nods.

Next is the science space. We skip the kitchen because they are busy getting everyone ready for breakfast. They usually sit everyone at the tables and then everyone heads to their spaces.

Along their right wall, they have tubes, and goggles, coats (Just in case they experiment), gloves, and some other tools they use that I don't know the names of. Along table, they have papers and microscopes. On the wall, they have pieces of paper. On the left are extras of everything. When we reach the science space, I see Mia chatting with Nate in the back. I enter just a little bit and clear my throat to get their attention. I'm surprised Nate is in here, but knowing Mia she already gave him a rundown on how the mornings work. They turn to me and Mia nods at me to enter.
