They discovered that wherever Sterling passed, large piles of rubble and debris would inexplicably vanish. This made their rescue efforts much easier.
At first, they didn't think much of it, simply marveling at the incredible speed of Sterling and the Black Swan Corps and admiring their immense power.
But then, they started to feel that something wasn't right. The cleanup was happening so fast it was almost unnatural.
They couldn't help but recall their escape from Sanctyr Base earlier that day. Any falling debris that had so much as touched Sterling had inexplicably disappeared.
'Could that be what's happening now?'
At this thought, everyone worked with even greater vigor, their hearts trembling with excitement.
Sterling was truly extraordinary.
And this was *their* Sterling, the leader of their Caeluna Base.
The people of Caeluna Base couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement at the thought that such a powerful person was their leader.
