The system's interface continued to pulse softly, its presence a testament to their success in overcoming a formidable challenge. Kai glanced at Jax, their shared sense of accomplishment tempered by the realization that Malvern's faction posed a greater threat than they had initially anticipated.
" System Assessment: Mission Accomplished "
"Let's gather what we can," Kai said, his voice reflecting a mixture of determination and caution. "We need to learn more about Malvern's plans and the extent of his influence."
Jax nodded, already scanning the defeated agents for any valuable intelligence. "Agreed. This won't be the last time we face his people."
