In the centre was one long elevator, disappearing into the roof. The mystery female (I've committed to calling her that now) strolled up to the elevator and pressed 'up'. Immediately the doors opened and we went inside, she pressed a button and we were off *cue the awkward elevator scene* (it's cringey when you see it in movies, but even more so in real life.). After 3 painstakingly silent doboshes we finally reached the top and the doors opened. As soon as they were open all heads (the heads of 2 females, both Irons, and 4 males, 3 Irons and one Gold, all dressed in suits, sitting at a long table) turned and I began to feel very self-conscious. No turning back.
I waited until someone spoke as I was wondering if we were even at the right floor. Finally the Gold stood up and beckoned me to sit at the only chair facing away from the elevator. I sat, feeling the cold, hard concrete on my back. Again I had to wait a few ticks before anyone said anything, clearly rebel's weren't much for conversation.
'I welcome you, Kyle, to the rebel fortress of Thamore, I am the Commander but you can call me Anthony', the Gold said clearly, in a surprisingly joyful tone.
I stared at him, like an idiot, before saying,
'Ok... thank you'. I wasn't sure what else to say, I've never met a Gold that didn't look at me like I was something he found on the bottom of their shoe. It was... confusing.
'As you may have noticed we have developed quite a bit from the descriptions your father might have given you before he... passed.' He said, with a sad smile of remembrance.
'We are sorry to hear about you fathers passing, we know he meant a great deal to you and was a great member of this rebellion, helping with planning and building new weapons.' Again that look, it was beginning to annoy me. Why wouldn't he just get on with it?
'Er... thank you. And I hope I can help just as much as him', I felt that an appropriate response.
'Let's waste no time then', the mystery female said sternly from behind my chair. As she came to stand next to where I was sitting I noticed she'd taken off her cloak, and I could now see she had short black hair and was around my age, wearing an upper body shell suit, holsters containing 2 guns at her waist, knee pads with black leggings and chunky buckled boots. Not gonna lie, she looked hot.
