"They said they'll send reinforcements in a week". Brad quickly spilled the beans.
"In a week?" Talia's heart sank but she didn't show it on her face as she looked down on the NetRunner. "Did they give a reason?"
"Yes," Brad nodded frantically. "They said they've been embroiled in another resources battle against the Omnicore Federation, so most of the field forces have been sent to the borders of Drift Haven".
'A resources battle?' Talia frowned.
She knew how invasive the Omnicore Federation could be, they were like an invasive species going after every and anything that caught their fancy in the world.
Her face darkened. 'I hope they're alright'.
With that though, she confirmed that reinforcements won't be coming on time. A week was still far away, and the showdown was already scheduled for tomorrow.
The reason for Cell taking the risk to hide here also didn't escape her notice. 'He had his suspicions, and he came to confirm that I'm now an E Rank NetRunner'.
