This alliance academy is located in very centre of the continent and follow strict schedule, so right now there is lots of things going on in the academy.
There is one squad of cadets marching yelling, at the side some cadets are practicing tactical movement, some are dualing some is showing off their moves that they learn some are ideally chatting.
There are also some guards could be seen patrolling every now and then, watching the cadets.
Dorms are at the east side of the medical bay, connected by canteen, weapons room, warehouse from three sides and every sides are interconnected. One must have to go through way between canteen and weapons room to reach the dorm.
Thomas set up thinking about this escorts thing, now that he really think that all this thing really odd.'system should have triggered by the time I woke up in first place but I got up from bed and talk to heaven's will for quite a bit and till now no one has got notify by system!?did she do something? Ah! Yes just now she said about triggering the system.....'he finds it hard to believe that even after he got out of bed no one was alerted but remembering the last sentence of the 'will' he connected dots and concluded that she did something to system.
[Yes I did something. But I'll tell you later escorts has arrived.]
Soon after 'will' sentence over thomas's escort arrived and said they will lead him to his dorm room. Surprisingly these escorts are robots!
'Will' was surprised seeing this. Because other cadet's escorts were humans and Thomas's are robots, different from others. She learn this by checking recording of surveillance backup.
On the other hand Thomas was rather quite calm. He didn't find it odd because he was always escorted by the robots in the past. In the past he come to medical bay total 7 times. 2 time berserk and other 5 times because of injuries. As he remembered this is his second time berserking and he was visited medical bay 4 times afterwards in this month because of combat training intensify all of a sudden for no reason in the past. Now that he knew, he will not repeat it.
He exited the medical bay with his escorts, followed the route to dorms.
Anywhere he goes through he gets lot of attention, everyone stops whatever they are doing and stare at him and then commented.
"Hey! Look there are robots escorting someone."
"Oh! He is the berserk rookie from yesterday, but why is robots taking him to dorm?! Isn't it guards that always escorts everyone!?"
"Don't know, but berserk you say! You know him?"
"No but seen him yesterday lost control of himself, causing ruckus."
"Berserk!? It was super berserk!! I have seen him going wild for almost 10 minutes and this is his second time."
"Second time!!? I wonder how he survived and still walking!?"
"Cheh, he is someone with weak body and low adaptation ratio, looser like him doesn't belong here."
"Yeah you're right just lucky fellow who got admitted here."
"You know him?"
"Yea he is not like us. We belong to upper echelon family in alliance and he is just orphan, low level scum."
"Even so you can't say that, there are many others that can not resist genetic and chemical augmentation and not go berserk but crippled by it."
"Yeah what do you know? I've heard that going berserking is one way of adepting and while you're in berserk state your all senses are enhance further. There is a chance of enhancing your all senses permanently!."
"Whatever or its just bullshit."
"Hey, look he is escorted by the robots don't you notice?"
"Yes we know that. They reguler might be busy. You know, their schedule is very tight."
Everyone who sees him started to gossip and someone with influence got background check on him blame for him being low born. They doesn't know that even upper class of upper echelons like Anderson is trying to hide his identity from people like them even his nephew is no exception!
"Enough of this sissy talks. back to your work or your scores gonna get affected " when the training officer arrive for his round up and seen them ideally chatting, yelled at them.
And so their chatter stops busy themselves in work while ideal cadets hastily walk away.
They didn't even lower their voices normally commenting but Thomas heard everything. He didn't bother to glance at anyone of them just keep a straight face and walk by them didn't care about what they think. Because he went through hell in the past and now he wants to stay focus.
-------------------------------------------
Finally Thomas reached his room. He was told to rest for half a day as his medical reports say that he is recovering rather quickly.
His room is like rectangle box, no widows, only sliding door is the way to in and out. The bed is made in wall only enough space to sleep one can't even sit while inside the bed. There is one desk, extended from the wall and have digital panel install in it. One can access to every education stuff that academy teaches for individual study. there is mail box system and other stuff. Of course there is a chair.
--------------------------
Will was observing everything from the time Thomas exited the medical bay of course she knew every detail about academy but seeing from the third point of view is always different.
Before departure could only observed through Cameras because her detaction range is low and only observed medical bay because of her damage. But her range will increase as she gradually recover. Now she can see the academy by third perspective.
['There are two types of cameras, Steady ones and rotating ones. All steady ones are positioned in such a manner that there is no blind spot and all rotating ones are locked on Thomas.']
She inwardly mummers. Her estimation was right earlier on the rotating cameras are connected to the special room.
['This.....his dorm is connected to canteen, storage facilities and weapons sections! These scums, it is really prison for him. Canteen is guarded by security guards because there is always be fight between cadets in there, as for storage facilities where weapons ammunition, vehicle and other important things are stored and weapons sections it stored weapons in service that used by cadets.']
Of course academy can't allows real weapons in cadets hand there are all practice weapons that shoot fake round or paint ball round.
['All of these area is heavily guarded and and have high security system. There are also stand by robots there. Even Standby unit of guard near this area and robotpods in hallways and dorm is in the middle of this! But Its a relief that there is no cameras in dorm']
As Thomas entered his room she started to scan the room also and indeed she found a camera hidden in the wall connected to the special room. Her earlier comment....
[I'm taking that back. I have to take care of that special room.]
She also found chip installed in thomas's digital panel. This chip can monitor his accessing because it is connected to outside world like Internet.
['Sure enough they, leave nothing untouched, even bugging educational access these son of a b....calm down, calm down. sigh.']
She got frustrated by that and almost loose her calm domineer.
['I need to know about what secrets they have about this idiot. I searched every network thoroughly but nothing was founded. They are playing safe, I'll have some trouble to find out what they know. Probably handful of people should knew about him. they erase every evidence about him in digital networking systems. If I was not damage to this extent ....']
In mean time she looks into Kevin and Anderson's massages only to find Anderson had a call from unknown number with illegal comlink that is now offline. That call was from west capital then he call Kevin and he massage someone when thomas went berserk yesterday, it was also sent to west capital. massage was deleted, but she recover it only to found That the massage is in coded numbers. She tried to desipher it but no result.
