(Luke's POV)
The command centre was abuzz with the low hum of computers and the quiet, urgent conversations of our surveillance team as I stepped into the dimly lit room.
Enhanced cameras and drones were capturing real-time data from the outskirts, feeding it directly to the large screens that dominated the front of the room.
The mood was tense; everyone understood the gravity of what might be unfolding just beyond our borders.
I moved to the central console, my eyes scanning the high-definition visuals that relayed the scene outside the sanctuary.
The images were stark—a well-organized group had set up camp at strategic points, an unmistakable sign of hostile intent.
They were not merely passing through; their systematic setup of defensive positions and heavy weaponry hinted at preparations for a prolonged stay, possibly an offensive.
