The walk back is a long one, but they manage to avoid any people. The sensors beep quietly as they enter the area, the communicators acting as keys to let them pass. The door slides open as it senses their approach.
A great deal has been written about the banality of evil. Of people who were just following orders, clerks and accountants filing paperwork and making numbers dance, without thinking too much about the cost and the consequences. The architect and overseer of this hell is that kind of soul, a man who looks about Skellig's age, dressed in a gray uniform with red and blue squares on one side of his chest to show his rank.
He sighs irritably as he hears them enter, but doesn't look up. "I already told you we haven't got the money to advance you your first paycheck."
