Chapter 36: Fuel Leakage
Leonard was indeed taken by surprise that the culprit was quite meticulous.
The damage on the tube was very minimal and would be difficult to spot if it weren’t for the foul stench.
But then a question came up.
Why would a slightly damaged tube emit such a foul stench?
The culprit clearly intended to be very discreet in their action. They went as far as damaging the tube slightly for a small but constant fuel leakage which meant they had a lot more plans in their mind.
Could such a meticulous plan be foiled because they failed to conceal or mask the foul stench?
Just when Leonard was stuck in his thoughts, the door to the fueling room suddenly opened.
Three people then entered the room, with one of them having a more distinct uniform that indicated its rank was higher than the other two.
"Routine check on fueling room at 0145. Make sure the mana tanks are functioning properly and that the fuel is in the calculated amount."
"Yes, Sir Kent!" The two regular crewmates saluted and began their routine checking.
While they checked on the mana tanks and the fuel, the person in charge, Kent, was jotting down notes and inspecting the tubes.
As they came across the damaged tube that Leonard had spotted, Kent and the other two crewmate’s expressions remained nonchalant. It appeared that they didn’t notice any damage or smell any of the foul stench.
