Chapter Six

The sewer water was cold and wet, not to mention the smell. Jacob climbed out but, after seeing the blasts of green energy breaking open the ground, he went back underwater. He swam erratically for some time, occasionally coming up for air. Eventually, he made his way to a grate which was partially broken open. Rubble from the Security-bot's attack busted the sewage-gate open and Jacob fell though.

After landing in a puddle of sewage. Jacob got up, continued walking through the damp, hot, moist sewer until he found a door. It wasn't a normal door, it had something on it. Jacob could almost remember what it was called. He couldn't tell if it was the the vaccine messing with his head or just lack of knowledge.

"Door noob?" Jacob thought. "Nobe? N- knob. Door knob? I think that's right."

Jacob put his hand on the rusted door knob and pulled on it. Nothing happened. He pushed on it. It didn't work. He turned it and, with a click and a squeak, it opened. Jacob walked in to find a large room with many hallways and rooms branching off. In the center there was a big cylindrical room with a sign on it that said "Leader's Office". Jacob wandered around dumbfounded by the extent of architecture in that place. He noticed that no one was wearing their safety suits. He suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him from the fact that he was wearing one. He was also a bit uneased by the smell of sewage coming off him. But he also noticed the air of happiness and freedom that surrounded the room. he wandered into a room marked "Comedy Club".

"What is comedy?" Jacob wondered.

"Why do people have plants in their houses?" the person on the stage said. "To spruce things up!"

"Hahahaha!" bellowed Jacob.

He flinched at the strange noise he just made.

"Whatever this is, I like it." Jacob thought with a smile.

Suddenly a woman in a high-ranking military uniform walked up.

"Sir," she said. "Are you lost?"

"Uh, yeah." Jacob said. "Wha- what is this place?"

The woman grinned.

"Welcome to the headquarters of the New Sons of Liberty."
