Moving Spiral Cluster

Elias left Cluster D, since there was nothing he could buy—almost everything was shitty and not up to standard. 

One thing he discovered was that the people here were filled with despair but not wary of those that came from outside—they were more afraid of the people around them. As if they are… slaves.

Reaching Cluster B was uneventful, it was just Seth spending his time in the local room that has a kitchen and toilet attached.

Cluster B was also different from the others too. It was made of numerous small settlements. There were over 200 congregations of Islands and each congregation was far away from the other.

Reading through their chat room, Elias realized, each settlement was a group. And there was a strict rule among them. If you were a member of one group, you can't get close to another without permission due to intense rivalry.
