In the tension-filled room, Father Black's announcement hung heavy in the air. "Ladies and gentlemen, we seem to be back to square one."
The gathered members of Glenn's territory, key figures who had faced countless challenges, now confronted a new, daunting decision.
Elder Zod, his face etched with concern and a hint of frustration, broke the silence. "What happened? Why did we not jump far away?" His voice, tinged with the strain of their situation, echoed the collective anxiety in the room.
Father Black sighed. He had been beside Glenn for a long time before her unfortunate demise and he had learnt how the core that allowed them to make teleportation jumps worked.
In fact, he had operated it a few times in the past. He really did not know what was wrong. All he could do was attribute the fault to their badluck. Nevertheless, he was the current leader of this place and too many people were looking up to him. He had to make important decisions.
