"Dr. Villin is on site" a security personnel informed the group of researchers who were working in another area, one of them acknowledged, Acker briefly glanced at the communication devices they were using when he felt his power being aware of the devices.
Acker had entered inside a tent, similar to those hospital tents, but this tent was used to shield curious eyes from prying. His guard dogs, two Dobermans called Zeus and Apollo, were sitting outside the tent, they looked like two real dogs, but in reality they were robotic machines.
The security personnel led him to another part of the tent which was like a round hallway, his shoes walking on dirt, not that it mattered, his black clothes had already been dirtied by the dust outside. The walls of the tent were shaken by the wind outside. Acker was looking at the far side of the hallway, excited by what laid beyond. The Sector never called him for something dull.
Acker liked research, he would have worked in research after university if it hadn't been for his power. The security personnel zipped down the entry to the next area where the researchers were. The researchers were standing all around a deep hole in the ground, there were lights pointed down at the hole, tables with equipment on them scattered around the area, some of the researchers were writing down clipboards.
One of them turned around and walked towards Acker with his hand forward waiting for a handshake which Acker shook automatically without even thinking about it because his attention was on the hole, he even took off his glasses "Thank you for coming, we..." a gust of wind came out of the hole "Did that hole just breath?" Acker cut off the researcher, but that gust of wind had caught him by surprise.
"We can't verify, we can't reach the bottom of the hole with our equipment" the researchers explained to Acker that it wasn't just a matter of depth, but also the gusts themselves, and the equipment seemed to get stuck in the hole for some reason. So, the researchers couldn't do much, they needed help hence why paging Dr. Villin.
"I need any data you have collected" Acker actually needed just some specific data, but it was faster asking for any data instead of standing there and explaining it to the researcher. The data was necessary so that he could use the appropriate drones "Acker!" a familiar voice called behind him. He turned around and a tiny smile formed on the corner of his mouth when he saw the familiar face of Dr. Kasper. Acker didn't usually enjoy the company of others, but he liked Dr. Kasper, or better, he valued Kasper's intelligence.
Dr. Kasper hugged him which caught Acker off guard, even though it wasn't the first time Dr. Kasper had done that, but Acker wasn't a hugger. Dr. Kasper was very energetic and excentric, but Acker overlooked all of that because of how brilliant Kasper was. In fact, Dr. Kasper knew what type of data Acker needed, leaving out the superfluous data. It was efficient and helped Acker assess the situation without wasting time. Dr. Villin appreciated it.
Acker put his glasses back on and connected to some of his drones that were waiting inside of an armoured truck. After a minute, the drones came out from the hallway, Acker turned towards the drones while the hallway got zipped up. The drones were round and smooth with an eye in the middle which was green now, but it could turn to yellow and red depending on the alert level. The surface of the drones was grey now, but it could change colours.
The researchers moved aside when one of the drones approached the hole, but then went back to stand around the hole, looking down at the drone making their descent. Meanwhile, Dr. Kasper and Dr. Villin were moving some screens that were standing on wheeled worktables. They carefully put the two screens next to each other so that they looked like one bigger screen. Acker had screens in his truck, but he didn't want to waste time bringing some here if these two screens were sufficient.
//First of all, I want to apologise if this is long, but I wanted to describe the situation to set the scene so to speak. Everyone, besides our characters, is an NPC so you can move them too of course! I imagined Dr. Kasper to be someone Acker has worked with many times before, so they know each other. Also, I have no idea what's in the hole, I'm just going with the flow lol so by all means you can write anything you want about it, you don't need my permission of course, I'm just saying it in case you think I have something planned for the hole lol the only thing that I planned is that the hole will disappear by itself at the end because of the power negation thing because I thought that hole was created by something gifted (like an object down the hole) and with the power negation thing the hole will slowly get smaller and disappear eventually...idk I thought it could be fun to connect the hole to the power negation thing! Oh, I have no idea where the thread is taking place, maybe just a little bit outside of Los Eurosia, somewhere desertic-like, or anywhere else really. But, let me know if you don't like the idea or you would like to do something else!//

Dr. Kasper turned them on and the screens connected to the drones' visual wirelessly "Adequate" Acker was talking about the quality of the screens and how well they connected to the drone. The other researchers gathered around the screens while the hallway got zipped down again, meaning that someone was coming in.
