Class 1 (before battle)
I did my best to ignore the fierce glare at my clock from below.
I noticed a group of staff walking this way, carrying an imposing aura, unlike any other K Corp. employee we've met.
Ah, you must be K Corp. staff. Hey! I saw some researchers that haven't evacuated over there...
……
They ignored our-or Gregor's, rather-words and proceeded upstairs.
They aren't here to rescue anyone. Their role is eliminating intruders and keeping classified technologies secure.
Dongrang interjected like he's always been here. I suppose he's got done with the call.
Rescuing is left to Class 1 staff.
Gasp! Is Class 1 not the highest level an employee can reach, precisely like Grade 1 is for Fixers?! Verily, 'tis no wonder that they are the noblest...!
Sorry? In this Nest, Class 1 is the lowest level, and higher numbers indicate better ranks...
Wha, wuh, wah, wha, wai... Whaat?!!!
...Even still, none can be too lordly or lowly to save lives, so how can the roles be divided?
Haha, bigger is better for numbers and riches alike, isn't that right?
Ah, the conversation dragged on for a bit... But there's nothing to worry about, I've acquired the permission.
<…?>
What? Permission? For what?
Normally, it seems to require a bunch of paperwork as well, but since we're in an emergency, let's skip the procedures that we can. Should be fine, right, Samjo?
Well... I believe it could be managed with three days and a half of working on the report overtime.
And strictly speaking, the problem already began when you brought them to your lab without any report.
Just tell us what that permission is about first!
It would seem that Dongbaek has headed that way.
The screening room.
The security procedures for entering that place can be... extremely convoluted.
Screening room? The name doesn't give a very clear idea of what it's about~
Wonder why the security is so tight about it~
It's at the very top of the building.
There are two ways to make something inaccessible: put it underground, or at the highest point.
