Ren was still sitting on the comfortable couch, organizing his thoughts about the complex political web he had just learned about.
His mind was working through the connections between the three factions when a soft chime echoed from his academy badge.
The small silver emblem pinned to his chest began glowing with a gentle blue light.
He lifted the badge closer to read the message that appeared in floating letters above it. All prospectives were to report immediately to the Edge of the Block.
They were specifically instructed to gather at the white wall section and wait for further instructions.
Ren raised an eyebrow as he read the message twice to make sure he understood correctly.
This was unusual timing for any kind of announcement or gathering. Most academic activities were scheduled well in advance.
His first thought was whether this might be another special event like the curse siege from before.
