"Echo-12's still out there," Vera reminded us, her voice laced with concern. "We can't let our guard down."
Sophia's expression turned resolute. "We'll track it down. We have to."
Victor nodded. "Together. We're stronger as a team."
Rachel's eyes sparkled. "We make a good team. And we've come a long way."
"I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad we're in this mess together," I said, smiling.
Sophia smiled back. "We've learned to rely on each other."
"But we can't let our guard down," Victor cautioned. "Echo-12's a wild card. We don't know its capabilities."
Vera's laptop beckoned. "I'll start tracking. See if I can pinpoint its location."
Rachel's voice dropped to a whisper. "We'll find it. We have to."
"Where do we go from here?" I asked.
