After Thierry slipped away from the group, Lyra had already vanished.
During the afternoon shooting practice, Lyra nailed it again, perfect as ever. Webber felt a mix of pride and frustration, itching to catch her in a slip-up.
The next day, the tech team was still clueless about who was intercepting their signals. Webber was so furious his eyes were practically glowing red.
On day three, they finally got a lead. "The person messing with the signals has to be within 500 meters," they told Webber. "You should start searching."
"I'm on it!" Webber shouted, eager to track down the culprit.
He searched high and low but found no one. Instead, he stumbled upon a mobile robot, proving the other side was craftier than they had expected.
Lyra finished her task on time, but received a message: "Your instructor busted the interference bot halfway through. I had to step in personally and almost got caught. This will cost extra."
