Aboard the deck of a military patrol vessel, the commanding officer barked an order, his voice laced with tension. "What!? He just slipped past us—full speed ahead! Pursue him now!" Chaos erupted over the open sea—radars spun frantically, engines roared into chase mode, and every crew member gripped their control stations with hearts pounding in unison.
In the operations room, the elite crew focused hard on their monitors—Fujisawa was mere hundreds of meters from escape. The elite squad's commander slammed his fist down. "Don't let him cross the maritime border!"
The vessel accelerated, waves crashing violently against the hull.
Then it happened.
A jolt rocked the ship—something clamped onto the side with a surge of electricity. Navigation systems blinked, then cut out completely. Lights flickered… then darkness.
