Positioned at the room&#39;s center is a spacious table, encircled by a collection of worn-out management armchairs. The android responsible for carrying their travel bag places it lackadaisically on the room&#39;s floor before hastening away. Lara&#39;s inquisitiveness momentarily overrides her etiquette.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><strong><u>LARA<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; margin-left:48px; margin-right:48px\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">What&#39;s the matter with him?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; text-align:center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><strong><u>MANAGER (APOLOGETIC)<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; margin-left:48px; margin-right:48px\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">It seems that there are some androids who are not aware of their proper role.

At the edge of the hall, two outdated and unwieldy forklifts move back and forth, controlled by androids who load pallets onto a floating container. Tom glances towards the hall and lets out a sigh of disappointment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><strong><u>TOM<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; margin-left:48px; margin-right:48px\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">I don&#39;t see anyone here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; text-align:center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><strong><u>ANDROID MANAGER<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr; margin-left:48px; margin-right:48px\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">This entire factory has been operated by androids for many years now.

The android carries a tray holding a jug of chilled beverage and vibrant cups. What catches their attention is the peculiar spout of the jug, angled in an unusual way. Tom and Lara remain quiet as the manager, with a touch of showmanship, pours the drink from the spout into the cups and presents them, almost like a personal tea ceremony. Lara acknowledges them with a bow. The android servant then enters the room with a small cart, bearing a tray adorned with bite-sized bread slices accompanied by plates of cheese and an unidentified substance resembling mayonnaise. Tom eagerly indulges in the mini sandwiches. To ensure privacy, the android manager shuts the glass door and draws a curtain, casting the room into partial darkness. With a press of a switch, the manager illuminates the room, providing them with seclusion. Hanging on the door is a diagram of the supply factory. The diagram shows signs of age, evident by the worn-out edges. In the center of the diagram, we can observe the supply center, with approximately eight marked localities, each depicted by a container symbol. A blue line connects all these settlements to the supply center, while the name of each locality is written beside it. With a curious gaze, Tom examines the diagram from his position and notices &quot;New Jericho,&quot; the second highest settlement, which happens to be his own. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin-right:48px\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; LARA (MODESTLY) The determination and courage belong to Tom; as his servant, it is my duty to join and support him. &nbsp; They ascend to the serene and air-conditioned management room, where a glass wall grants a panoramic view of the expansive hall and its bustling activity.
