The facility was eerily silent as we descended deeper into its heart, the only sounds the echo of our footsteps and the faint hum of the fluorescent lights above us. The Coalition had been caught off guard; there had been little resistance so far. It was unsettling, but it also meant we had the upper hand—for now.
Alaric moved beside me, his presence a constant reassurance. We had fought through the initial defenses with relative ease, and now we were deep in the bowels of the facility, where the most sensitive operations were likely taking place. Every step we took felt like a step closer to uncovering the dark secrets hidden within these walls.
