The researchers looked with shock and fear at Ghosty, who seemed surprisingly calm.
What the fuck was going on?!
Their escorts had been killed, and one of their teammates had also been killed!
"You guys have officially died just now," Ghosty said with a calm smile. "At least, as far as humanity is concerned."
"During the journey, the Shark Mother attacked, and we lost a group of our most talented researchers. Truly, a tragedy for Aegis."
Ghosty looked at them. "But not a tragedy to humanity."
"Wh-what is going on?" Michael asked, voicing the question everyone had.
"I will explain everything as soon as we arrive," Ghosty said. "You do not need to fear. I am not going rogue and creating my own force for humanity. No, this entire thing has the backing of three Shields."
