Inside the room stood an elderly man with neatly combed silver hair. He wore a crisp white lab coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose—definitely the scholarly type. His face radiated a kind, gentle demeanor.
This was Dr. Morgan, the head of the lab and a leading expert in extraterrestrial meteorite research.
"You are…?" Dr. Morgan looked up as Mia approached, curiosity flickering in his eyes. Clearly, he didn't recognize her.
"I'm Mia, Awakener Unit 001 from Los Angeles," she introduced herself. "I've got a friend who's really into meteorites—especially the ones from space. He's got a few questions and was hoping to pick your brain."
"Oh! Of course, of course!" Dr. Morgan nodded enthusiastically, a warm smile spreading across his face. He seemed genuinely pleased that young people were taking an interest in his field.
"Ask away. If it's something I know, I'll tell you everything I can."
