The room held six people, all waiting for the seventh, the one who was supposed to deliver an important report today.
"Hasn't she already been warned about being late?" Clara asked, not directing the question at anyone in particular. Hannah gave a small nod in response.
Along with the two of them, their team leader was also present, seated beside Clara.
If he had a choice, though, he would have preferred to sit elsewhere. More precisely, next to the girl sitting off to the side with an indifferent expression.
She was none other than Layena, the strongest cadet of their batch. She had come after hearing about yesterday's incident, curious to listen to Amanda's report herself.
Besides the four of them, two more individuals occupied the room, the ones who ran the headquarters.
One was a short-haired man with a rigid build, Vice-Commander Timothy.
The other stood facing everyone, unmistakably the head of the base, Commander Veronica.
