Her expression was exceptionally grim.
"Break it up."

"It was just a minor scuffle. As long as Ms. Carter doesn't pursue it, we're good."
"Now all of you, head back and keep a low profile."
Reinhard Caldwell said to the crowd after finishing his conversation with Ms. Carter.
"It's over just like that?"
Zachary Sterling couldn't help but speak up once the crowd had scattered as if granted a general pardon.
"Yeah. In the past, wouldn't they have rounded everyone up for questioning?"
"And then executed them one by one?"
"But did you guys see it? What was underneath… HISS!"
The Space Superpower User, Manfred, had barely gotten the words out before he felt a dull throb of pain.
Nina Jacobs glanced at him. "If you want to live a few more days, shut up."
Although the incident had been brief, she sensed that something was off.
