The Command Base's operations room was silent, but the atmosphere was heavy with the expectation of movement.
A new mission was taking shape.
—
Kael stood before the central panel.
On the screen, the readings for "Northern Convergence 1" remained active, updated in real-time thanks to Otrho's transmissions.
The energy pulses were weak but constant.
No longer coincidences.
Now, a clear call.
—
Patricia organized the teams.
— Phase one: reconnaissance and pattern survey — she announced.
— Phase two: contact with the new immortals who arrived at Marco Norte.
— Phase three: evaluation of the symbol replicated at the Marco.
Kael confirmed.
— No heavy weaponry. Absolute discretion.
— This is an observation mission. Not a confrontation.
—
The witches gathered around the room, already divided into two teams:
Alpha Team
Nikita
Helena
Samantha
Beta Team
Claudia
Camila
Amina
Patricia would remain at the Base, coordinating communications and logistics.
Marie would be responsible for maintaining civil surveillance in Brussels, in case any new signals appeared.
Kael, naturally, would lead both teams on the ground.
—
Before departure, he gathered everyone in the Common Hall.
He looked into each of their eyes.
— We don't yet know what is calling.
— But we know what we represent.
— We are not just guardians of time.
— We are the ones who answer when the centuries speak.
The witches nodded silently.
The family of time was ready.
—
The jump would take place at sunset, coinciding with the predicted energy oscillations at the Marco.
Kael knew this mission could be simple.
Or the beginning of something much greater.
And he was prepared for both possibilities.
