Nika stepped out of the custom Kenworth truck after about eight hours of travel across the barrenlands and was soon greeted by a sergeant of the army.

"Welcome to Fort Davis, Ma'am. I'm Lieutenant Ridge at your service." Her dusty uniform showed signs of hard work, yet there wasn't a single tear on it which meant she wasn't a fighter which amounted to her young age made her rank in the army an impressive feat.

"We're looking for shelter for tonight." Nika explained.

"You can park your vehicles in the parking lot, but warn your students not to roam around and let them know we won't be allowing anyone who steps outside the perimeter to return." Ridge remained professional while she explained the rules they needed to follow if they wanted to spend the night in the fort.
