Azmuth checked over experiment after experiment, each lab assistant shooting Nita a look of clear envy when the First Thinker was focused on the data outputs. There was no one scientific discipline that he focused on but none of the social sciences were represented in the tower. Still, there were plenty of labs for each set of experiments in biology, chemistry, robotics, genetic engineering, and so on. Really, given the amount of disciplines Azmuth studied, anyone had the potential to work for him if they caught his eye.

Most of the assistants were curt with Nita, a few were outright hostile which Azmuth didn't stop. He expected his apprentice to be able to stand up for herself. He wouldn't always be around to protect her, after all.

It took four hours for Azmuth to make his way through each lab, reviewing data and ordering adjustments made. A few times he worked hands-on with something that needed his personal touch.

But finally the lab they stopped at was the top floor: the massive dome top made up of a hexagonal window pieces.

"This is where you'll be working with me."
