Chapter 174: 172. An Overview of F-H5

ImpulseWorks Sites were never small. Even the most mundane and low-risked Sites were behemoths that rested beneath rock and soil. The corridors Frost and her group travelled through were made large for the purpose of accommodating Corrupted upwards of 10 meters in size.

These rooms were built at the highest point of F-H5 and did not house the Corrupted. Rather, this was where various Employees such as cleaners, clerks and other administrative and basic personnel called their home. Employees were considered lower than Workers on the ImpulseWorks hierarchy.

They were Clearance Level 7 which was the lowest clearance one could be granted, and they roamed nonchalantly along their lavish facility. The top portion of the Site was essentially the living quarters for its Employees and Workers; however, the Overseer and the Navigator made it clear that some people were required to live on the Corrupted layers.

A pair wearing long, white lab-coats escorted them around the facility. Both were humans. Very human compared to what she imagined them to be. The Overseer was a man dressed in nothing but his simple, loose lab coat that fluttered with each step. There was never a shred of emotion shown in his face.

His eyes were ever calculating as if constantly on the lookout for any potential threats. At one look Frost understood that he had witnessed unimaginable horrors. Or rather, he had already grown accustomed to them.
