"So what now? What are your plans guys? The guards said that from here on. We have to join three factions if we want to obtain the right to live in this city since we are outsiders." Jin sighed. He was unwilling to part with the members, but he knew that their decisions might separate them from each other.
There are three factions or forces in the City and they are the pillars that keep the order and protect the people against Apokalips.
"I don't know what to choose yet, but I might join the scout with Andre, Luna, and Clifford." Caleb smiled. "We may part this time and go our own ways, but this is a small world, so we would inevitably meet again."
Dunn crossed his hands and laughed. "Well, unfortunately, I will join Constables with Rina. Jin, on the other hand, would join the Guards. You know, so when the time comes, we would have access to the resources of the three factions."
"Hmmm... That's a good idea." Caleb nodded thoughtfully. "It seems we would still contact each other frequently if that's the case."
"What are the roles of the three factions again?" Andre couldn't help but join the conversation. He was a bit nervous and excited about the new environment.
"I think scouts are the ones responsible for gathering updated information about the situation outside. They do expeditions once in a while to find resource-rich locations, mark the place of dangerous Apokalips, and record their number, but their main mission, it seems, was to take back the Wall or Rose."
Jin sighed wistfully. He couldn't help but feel that it was a wrong choice to join the scout. "The scout is too dangerous. However, with danger comes opportunity. The scout might be a great benefit for your growth. Joining Constables is safer since their job is just to patrol around the city and maintain order. It's like police organizations in the past. They can also arrest thieves and people doing bad deeds. It has the most authority and power among the three factions inside the city."
"Well, I don't care about anything. I joined to fulfill my goal." A solemn expression appeared on Andre's, but everyone could hear the underlying hatred in his tone.
The director of the Medical Facility was a lean middle-aged man, wearing a lab coat and white gloves. He has blonde hair, dark brown eyes, and a sharp countenance akin to a strict professor. Still, he was generous enough as he saved Fatty free of charge.
Caleb didn't behave like a country-bumpkin unlike the three teenagers with him when he first saw the towering buildings, great statues, and bustling market due to the architectural designs being quite similar to the 90s in Europe.
As for the culture, they emphasized freedom the most like the West, so Caleb didn't need that much adapting. Of course, those three days weren't enough to understand the culture thoroughly.
"Well, I think it's time to report to the base of the Scouts. You guys, are you ready?" Caleb grinned.
Luna became a bit fidgety at the question. She felt uneasy about the fact that as a scout, they needed to fight Apokalips again. A thing she doesn't like. However, if she doesn't join the Scout... It means being separated from Johan and others.
"I'm more than ready." After experiencing being a burden to the Hunting Party throughout the journey. Clifford knew that it was an opportunity to grow stronger. Joining the scout would give them the opportunity to become Destiny.
"If that's the case. Let's head out then. Once Fatty woke, he would be surprised." Andre felt the future was optimistic. Although they experience a series of unfortunate events. It didn't stop him from aiming high. "Johan, I'm sure you will climb higher on the ladder of the scout and reach a higher seat with your strength and ability. Do you plan to reveal your plan to reveal your Gum Gum Rubber?"
"That would only bring trouble to us." Caleb shook his head. "I need to become strong enough first and have a high position. For now, I will only use that when I'm alone or with you. I don't plan to trust others with my ability."
"Low profile is the way to go." Andre was aware of how humans could do anything for power. Once anyone from the management of the city knows Caleb's ability, that isn't recorded. It was unknown what they would do to his friend.
