Sly and Fry got back in the evening, talking about how their day at the alpha house went. It sounded very interesting to Luke, and he sat up to hear all of it. They talked about cleaning up a pavilion made of flowers and the corridors larded with beautiful stones. Then they talked of a secluded chamber that was not allowed to be accessed by anyone. Luke suspected that it was the chamber that housed the so-called blue charcoal.
They spent the rest of the evening in chit-chats and also taught a bit of their card game to Luke, but he didn't still understand it. He slept off afterward, leaving them to play.
Luke opened his eyes the next morning with a smile. It was today that he'd be assigned his own post, probably at the alpha house. In an hour's time, he heard a stern voice calling from outside.
"You new intakes should assemble here right now for your assignments!"
