the boy and the door part 5

Meanwhile:"Sir, he's awake." A man came rushing in. He was dressed in a white shirt and pants with a red cross on each shoulder and one in the middle of his shirt.

The captain rose from his chair and said  "Come with me, Mr. Roc; your son is awake. Bring your other children, too." They were in a large room. In the middle it held a platform ringed by tiers of control stations.In the middle of each ring was another platform which also had control stations lining the edges. It continued like this until it reached the top. The top one, however, held one chair in the middle surrounded by more controls than any of the other stations: This was the captains spot. Above it all was a large see-through dome, though it was apparently computerized.
"Where are we going?" Mr. Roc asked as they walked down a long hallway.
"To the sick bay."
