Seven days later, in a dense forest.
Ancient primordial trees concealed building after building.
Surveillance devices were everywhere, and star arrays had been inscribed across the ground.
Starlight flowed as the star arrays slowly operated.
Deep within the forest, a green barrier shimmered, protecting the buildings.
