บท 272: Ambition

                                    Ryan and the others returned to the base the next day, just after sunset. That made Mark frown since that wasn't the speed humans should have just by running, but it looked like everyone pushed themselves too far since aside from Ryan, Daniel and the others looked pretty beat down.

"We need to talk," Ryan said.

"Yes…" Mark said and then sighed, already imagining what Ryan wanted to hear.

                                    Before starting the talk, they headed to the meeting room, and along the way, Ryan saw Zoe playing with Arthur and Mia. For some reason, Mia looked pretty tired. When Zoe saw Ryan see waved her hand and smiled. Since the kid was smart, she was acting just like usual around him.

                                    After those two entered the meeting room, they sat down and stayed silent while Mark was preparing the room's monitor. However, even before everything could be ready, he started to talk.
