A single Enormous hangar-like Facility in this specific location, Amita who was generally the one in-charge of the operation (a considerably big leap, but she is under a secretive persona) and Helga who was temporarily called here to assist after her notable involvement with Wendi on missile development. They stood by a single observation deck as they look at the latest machine meant to assist in an endeavour required for ending the war placed at the centre of Dodecagonal Henge-like Supports.

Amita was focused on the calibration of the new machine, simply referred to as 'Die Glocke', or 'The Bell', due to its appearance resembling that of a large bell, the appearance was intentional as it provides the needed storage space for the internal mechanisms needed.

Several tethering cables connect the machine to the henge to present it from gaining much altitude as the gravity manipulation engines inside result in such a problem.

In one of the medical rooms where there were several people laying on the beds mostly are unconscious or sleeping, A single person continuously walks around checking on them, Josefa Mengele. She stopped by one bed where two people were observing and talking to a red-haired female.

"I-I know I'm sorry-" Izetta attempted to Apologize her way out

"You had us worried sick and you say your sorry, you practically exhausted all the magic you have in your body, what's worse is your current condition... You were supposed to absorb earth energy from the ley-lines, yet when you passed that point you barely even absorbed anything..."
