That same evening, at every construction site for the Quantum Force Field Defense Device across the country, young people began to appear.
Some were only seventeen or eighteen—still of school age—trying their best to squeeze into the sites. "Uncle, please, just let me in! I’ve graduated high school, and anyway, I’m just idling at home before university starts. I just want to help out. I don’t even want any pay, just please, let me in!"
There were also middle-aged men arriving in luxury cars like Land Rovers and Mercedes. They wore thick gold watches and heavy gold chains; some even had full-sleeve tattoos, pushing their way into the crowd. "Move aside, you kids still in middle or high school. Is this a place for you? Let us adults handle this kind of work. And as for all you women trying to get in, this is a dirty, messy place—go home and look after your children. We’ll take care of this!"
