Chapter 42 - Drumroll

As promised a week later, the first caravans arrived in Whitestone City along with a crowd of people, looking at this crowd, Brandon assumed that there were about 200 people here. Such a large crowd of people can cause many problems if these people are not closely watched.

Therefore, Brandon was personally involved in organizing them. First of all, having checked and let the caravan men into the city, the Brothers began to deal with the newcomers.

First of all, Brandon lined up all the people in the square outside the city, after which his people began to walk between the rows and question people: Name, age, gender, relationship.

In addition to families and singles, friends and lovers also came to the city. Therefore, in order to minimize the risk, it was necessary to know such details.

When the list was ready, Brandon looked at it, from there he learned that a total of 209 people arrived, of which 124 adults (16+) (50 men, 74 women), it seems that it was easier for women to survive in diamond city than men, or men felt so good in the city that they decided not to leave there, who knows. In addition to the adults, there were 85 more children, of which 43 were boys and 42 were girls.

After counting all the people, Brandon divided everyone into men and women, children and boys under the age of 8 stood with their mothers. When the division was over, Brandon took them to a shower, which had been specially built by the engineering detachment outside the city. This shower consisted of two large separate rooms, which included 10 people each, after which they were given about 10 minutes to put themselves in order. When the time was up, at the exit they were greeted by a warm wind that dried their bodies, and last but not least, they received new, beautiful and comfortable civilian clothes of the White Stone City with the characteristic emblems of an hourglass on the shoulder.

After a while, on the square near the city walls, there were clean and well-groomed people. Some of the caravan men who were leaving the city at that moment could not believe that this was exactly the garbage that they initially brought here.

Now one of the most important moments, a party of 30 people with an interval of 15 minutes was admitted into the city, one person from the party was launched into small rooms, where they were asked several questions, while they had to constantly look at some device, these people did not think about it too much, only they did not know that in the city's database, after passing the survey, in the affairs of several people, a small addition appeared - synth.

After passing the survey, so as not to arouse suspicion, everyone was sent to the medical center to conduct the final stage of accepting the new arrivals.

After a quick examination of their health, the medical staff notified everyone of their health problems.

Last but not least, the most enjoyable part is the food. Also, a group of 30 people were sent to the dining room, where they were given a plate of warm porridge, several pieces of meat, bread and compote.

A few hours later, after the start of all these activities, Brandon sat in his office and read the report.

Among all the arrivals, 13 synths were identified, unfortunately Brandon did not yet know which of them is a synth of the institute, and who is a fugitive, because at the moment only a few recognize themselves as residents of the city, Brandon cannot see the statistics of the rest through the system.

Postponing the report, he stood in front of the window, looked at all the bustling residents in his city. At the moment, the only thing he can do with these synths is to carefully observe them, and not allow them to important positions, only later, when all the newcomers recognize themselves as residents of the city, Brandon get rid of the rest of the synths. Suddenly, he reached out to the right and grabbed a shaking, levitating glass with compote and ice inside. Even in his third life, Brandon still follows his old habits, he does not like carbonated drinks, but prefers juices and compotes, these things are simple, but very tasty. Smiling, he completely drank the contents of the glass, and then let it go to levitate in the air.

Yes, Brandon trained hard during this week, thanks to this he is already able to hold objects weighing no more than 500 grams for a short time.

Looking closely at the glass, Brandon reached out with his finger and pushed it forward. The glass began to move slowly in the opposite direction from Brandon, but when this distance increased to two meters, the glass fell to the floor and shattered. Shaking his head at the result, Brandon mentally said that he still has a long way to go.

PoV The Accidental Beggar.

One of the guards in blue armor and with an unknown assault rifle, finally approached the two girls, after examining them, he said "Name, age, gender, relationship"

A younger girl, frightened by the guard's gaze, hid behind another girl and hugged her tightly.

An older girl with slightly chapped lips said "I am Mia, she is Diana, I am 19, she is 17, we are both sisters."

After what he heard, the guard nodded, wrote something down in a notebook and walked away.

Diana carefully peeking out from behind her back said, "Mia, I'm scared, we shouldn't have come here, this mayor probably just wants to get rid of all of us. You've heard the rumors about this place. "

Miya nodded and said, "I know all sorts of travelers talk about this place, but I also heard from the caravan people talk that it is a thriving place. We need to try if we want to survive "

A few minutes later, two sisters and 8 more women stood in front of some room, but in front of the entrance there were two female guards with weapons who did not let them in and said, "This is a large shower room, to get inside you need to completely undress and throw away your things. You will no longer need them, after a shower you will be given new clothes. Weapons must also be surrendered, in the city only guards and military can carry weapons, but don't worry if you want to go outside the city, you can pick up your weapons, although I think you will not want to. "

Having no other choice, the girls nevertheless completely undressed, exposing their bodies, Mia did not want to part with her knife, because in diamond city, it is sometimes useful to have at least some kind of protection with you. Gritting her teeth, she finally made up her mind and put the knife on the table. The guard wrote something in her notebook, after which she handed the notebook and pen to Mia and asked her to sign. The girl, without hesitation, wrote MIA in her crooked handwriting. The guard nodded, took some piece of paper with a number and glued it to the knife.

After that, she finally let the two naked girls inside.

Walking forward, the two sisters found themselves in a bright and very damp room. There was a shower on the walls.

Mia knew that diamond city also had a shower, but only the rich could use it often, and here this city wastes such a precious resource as water on these poor people.

Remembering the explanations of the guard, Mia went to her soul and almost pressed the button on the wall, as she heard her sister screaming, tensing, she turned sharply, but saw only happy Diana, who loudly said "Sister, you have to try this faster, this is just super , wow "

Mia smiled, but still pressed the button, and then streams of warm water began to fall on top of her. It was really .... super.

After wetting her hair, she saw two more buttons next to the power button, one with a pattern of soap and the other with a sharp blade.

When she pressed the first button, a thick pink liquid got on her hand, sniffing, the girl realized that it was soap and it smelled of some kind of flowers.

After she completely cleansed her body, Miya remembered about the second button, when she pressed it, a small hole appeared in the wall in which some small device lay, not quite understanding what it was, she took it.

This small device had some very small teeth on top, which, even with all the desire, she could not cut herself, she also noticed a small button, when Mia pressed the button, the machine made a noise, and the teeth began to move quickly.

Finally realizing that it was an electric razor, the girl looked at her body, especially at her legs, groin and armpits, she was a little embarrassed ... ... there is quite a lot of work here.

After a while, Mia and her sister were already standing in the square dressed in clean clothes. Diana was very pleased with these white robes, they were very comfortable and stylish.

But unfortunately, during this waiting time, they got a little hungry and would not mind something to eat, the guards just shrugged their shoulders and said that there was not much left, and then they would be fed.

Finally it was their turn to move on, Mia and Diana were worried when they were separated, but the words that this was just a small personality test convinced them.

When Mia entered the room and sat down on a chair, she saw a strange device in front of her, after a couple of minutes, a guard entered the room, but he no longer carried a machine gun with him, instead he had a holster with a pistol.

The guard sat down in front of the girl, turned on and set up the device, saying that it was just a camera, and then started asking questions.

The first questions were simple, for example, what is your favorite dish, who is your closest person, what will you do if someone gives you lids, etc.

But the subsequent questions made her think, for example, how would you react if a small child was beaten in front of you, what would you do if your sister commits a crime, etc.

After 50-60 such questions, she was finally released.

When she left the room, she noticed that all the other people from her group passed the test, only Mia and Diana remained.

Unfortunately, the girls did not know that after they left, the mark appeared in the city's database next to their names - [Synth].
