Caius Carter looked troubled.
Master Ziegler had told him to maintain order, but Mordecai Quinn had just dismissed him from his post over the recent incident.
He felt a pang of regret. 'If I'd known this would happen, I should have waited longer before showing my face.'
"Director Carter, didn't we already agree on this yesterday?"
Marcus Lewis didn't understand why Caius Carter was still hesitating.
"I'll give it a try."
Caius Carter stood up.
But before he could issue a command, Mordecai Quinn stood up and declared:
"All Defense Soldiers of Meridia Base, hear my command! Effective immediately, every survivor in Meridia Base may collect three days' worth of supplies. Maintain order and follow procedure. Anyone who causes a disturbance will forfeit their right to receive supplies."
The entire crowd fell silent.
Many people thought they must have misheard.
Then, they saw Mordecai Quinn pull several large animal carcasses from his space.
