Chapter 51: Questions

This was the first time that Atlan saw an Operator up close and personal. He observed her battle suit and saw that her garments had small lights weaved along the threads, making it look cybernetic.

The woman had straight black hair down to her waist and thin eyes that were accentuated by her narrow glasses. She walked over to Atlan with a tablet in her hands.

"Good morning, Atlan the Porter," she said as she walked over opposite him.

He looked at her and said, "Good morning. Are you a Quill?"

Lizzie immediately felt embarrassed when she heard him say that. "What is Wemby teaching you?! You shouldn't say that out loud."

The Operator waved it off. "It's fine. I don't feel offended by it. It depends on the person whether Knives and Quills are both terms of endearment or insults. I see no hate in his eyes, only curiosity."
