Hearing the sound, Asher's eyes snapped sharply in the direction from which it originated. He remained utterly silent, as he had not yet seen anything, and after all, this chamber alone spanned over 300 meters in width, meaning the source of the noise was most likely emerging from the far end of the vast, dimly lit room.
The sounds of metal clanging and screeching reverberated throughout the chamber one after the other in irregular, discordant patterns. Asher did not need to deliberate long to deduce that the source of the disturbance was a person methodically opening the cells.
Within a few minutes, the figure arrived at Asher's side, first opening the cell of a man positioned opposite him, retrieving food and water from a space ring and carelessly tossing it toward the prisoner with absolutely no concern as to whether the provisions scattered across the filthy floor or remained intact.
