A large stage, red curtains drawn.
Balconies.
Thousands of velvet seats.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
One person after another began to appear, their bodies forming from out of thin air.
"...This should be the place."
"Stay on guard."
The number of people grew with each passing second. Almost immediately, the atmosphere grew tense as they all focused on the view before them.
"It's just like the initial scouting reports."
The Section Chief mumbled, scanning the surroundings.
The layout was exactly the same as the abandoned opera house. The only difference was that it looked newer, grander, and more imposing. Each seat was empty, seemingly waiting for everyone in attendance to fill the seat.
"Have some people scout the perimeter. Go."
None of the teams immediately sat.
Instead, they each sent a small team to scout the perimeter.
The Section Chief looked around, but didn't assign a team to do it. He didn't feel the need to, considering that they were doing it for him.
