{Mass release 3/4}
After leaving the Crater, Drake had been separated from the other survivors. Strangely enough, he was taken into a large van where many soldiers stood guard as though he were some kind of serial killer.
Turning to Harvix, he gave the man a spectacle of a look—even if Harvix couldn't see through the mask.
Harvix, seeing this, shook his head, crestfallen. "I'm sorry, but this is a protocol that must be taken. The reason will be made known when the time comes."
It was especially strange for Drake. After escaping from a place like the crater, he had expected some form of special treatment. Instead, all he received was a bit of healing from a soldier and now, heavy security to move him somewhere he had no idea of.
And with the number of guards surrounding him, there was really no room for refusal.
