The members of Alpha were walking down a hallway when they met two people dressed in black. The stress increased although Alpha hadn't face any issue since the moment they landed on the planet. Carter, who was now ahead and before Sakai; Rossberg, behind the scientist; and Rousseau, at the end prepared their hand to grab the coner as fast as possible if necessary. Sakai held his tablet next to his right flank. There was nothing to do again because the two people just bowed their head to salute Alpha when they saw the quatuor and continued their walk. Alpha made the same gesture to salute the two people.
Rousseau was bemused by the situation. "Is it me or we haven't seen any trace of the Praelistians or other civilizations we have struggled with in that dome and outside? Why are there only people who don't look anything like a trained and structured army?" the French asked later while the group was progressing.
Old Rossberg admitted, "That is really strange indeed. I thought the Praelistians at least would keep an eye on such an important place."
"Or maybe these people outside are very good actors?" Rousseau suggested to Rossberg but the two men didn't really believe in this hypothesis.
Sakai showed an entrance a few steps ahead with his right index and announced, "It should be here."
Carter glanced at Sakai while arriving at the location.
The Japanese said, unsure, "Well, I suppose."
"There's only one way to know. How do we open it?" the woman commented.
All of a sudden, the two parts of the sliding door vanished into the walls. The movement surprised Carter, Sakai, and Rossberg because they didn't do anything. The three quickly reacted and grabbed their coner. They understood that Rousseau had opened the door when they saw him in front the control panel on the wall.
Carter asked Rousseau to watch the area outside. Then, she entered the room with Sakai and Rossberg.
The trio in the room could confirm it was a huge one.
The trio in the room could confirm that not only one, but two bombs were being built in that place.
