Sparrow grabbed the walkie-talkie in front of him, pressing the button as he waited for the familiar crackle of static.
Once it cleared, he spoke with urgency. "Listen up, people. Targets spotted between three and four o'clock, and from eleven to nine o'clock. Take your positions and prepare to fire back. Over."
"We're ready to move out anytime, Captain," Fred replied, his voice steady as he signaled for the warriors under his command to fall into a defensive stance, ready to strike the moment the opportunity presented itself.
Evelyn and Zeus positioned themselves alongside Rakan and his team, mirroring the defensive posture. Clyde and Reeve, though vulnerable due to their still-unawakened status, remained protected within the formation, flanked by the five STAU members.
Despite the five having awakened, their abilities were no more than that of ordinary humans with slightly enhanced strength, which made them no match for the upcoming battle.
