Safe Room

We all full out sprinted towards the Circuit room. As soon as we got there, Angela’s father pulled us into… well… what I thought was the wall.

We all emerged in a circular room with a years’ supply of food, some couches and beds, and a TV.

“Where are we?” James, Angela, Dailey and I said together.

The King sighed. “I had this room built in the utter most secrecy… It was for emergencies only, in case of a full out Cyke attack. Which I’m sure is what James saw. It is impenetrable to almost any kind of being and mind, so-”

Almost any kind?!” Angela shrieked at her father. “What can get through?”

“An MPC of course.” Her father answered with a little shrug. “So as I was saying…” He paused to glare at his daughter. “We are perfectly safe and can watch the Cykes. James? Anya? I know this is all very confusing, but in our downtimes I have supplied this room reading material that will get you both caught up fairly quickly.”

“Oh thank you so much!” I gushed as James looked relieved.
