Carlos turned to look, his brow furrowing as the ground beneath them began to tremble. From the distance, he could make out the unmistakable forms of several Aegis units coming toward them. Their glowing energy cores pulsed with light as they sprinted toward the scene, their massive frames closing the distance with terrifying speed.
"They'll be here in a few minutes," Cleo continued, her tone unbothered. "Let them handle it."
Carlos raised an eyebrow, watching as the Aegis units moved with deadly precision, their weapons systems already powering up. "Well, that's great and all," he muttered, "but maybe warn me next time when I'm carrying black-hole bombs inside my body."
Cleo didn't respond, simply folding her arms as she watched the approaching machines.
Carlos sighed again, shaking his head. "I swear, working with you is going to give me gray hair."
