The murmur of conversation stopped instantly as everyone began turning toward the opening doors on the far side of the hall.
The girl glanced at the display, then looked back at Logan. "Looks like it's time to go. Don't get eliminated too quickly in the second round."
Logan frowned, watching her walk away towards the slowly opening doors.
Edric stepped up beside Logan as the crowd began moving.
"What was that about?" he muttered, having heard the conversation between Logan and the girl.
Logan sighed. "Honestly? I have no idea. And I think that's becoming a theme."
Silas stepped beside them with a broad smile.
"The envoy mentioned something promising," he said, grinning.
"What is it?" Edric asked, interested.
"They're hoping to establish future relations with the company," Silas said, proud. "He mentioned meeting after the assessment to discuss a potential partnership."
"He said what?" Edric asked, wide-eyed.
"Why?" Logan added, confused.
