The drones closed in, cameras blinking red like a bad disco party.
Dr. Zara's holographic face sneered. "Surrender. Now."
Thane yanked the group into a sprint .
Julius: "Where are we going?"
Thane dodged a drone's laser . "Safehouse. Fast."
The streets blurred – Elysium's agents hot on their heels .
Emily stumbled; Kael pulled her up. "Keep moving! Don't wanna be Elysium's science project "
Alex pointed. "Shortcut! Left! Trust me, I know a spot ."
They burst into an abandoned shop .
Thane slammed the door – locked it .
Julius: "We trapped."
The drones pounded the entrance. Boom! Boom!
Kael: "Guess they didn't get the 'do not disturb' memo 😂."
Thane's smile was grim. "Time to trap them."
The drones intensified their assault on the door, the sound echoing through the abandoned shop.
Thane quickly worked on disabling them, his fingers moving swiftly.
Julius: "What's the plan?"
Thane: "We need to get out of here, now."
The group huddled, their breathing heavy.
The drones suddenly blasted off, heading straight for Elysium's HQ.
Kael: "They're moving to regroup."
Emily peeked out, checking for any signs of surveillance. "The coast is clear."
Thane led them to a secure location, a nondescript building in a quiet alley.
Luna, a skilled technician, greeted them at the door. "Elysium's been looking for you."
Thane: "What do they want?"
Luna's expression was serious. "Information about the Legacy Project."Alex's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"
Luna smiled calmly. "I'm Luna, a... freelance tech specialist. I've been helping Thane and the others with their... situation."
Thane nodded. "Luna's on our side, Alex. She's helped us stay one step ahead of Elysium so far."
Julius raised an eyebrow. "How do we know we can trust her?"
Luna shrugged. "You don't. But I've given Thane no reason to doubt me, and I've helped him get out of some sticky situations."
Kael leaned forward. "What's the plan, then?
Luna's expression turned serious. "We need to dig deeper into Elysium's plans. I have some leads, but I need your help to crack their system"
Thane ask "The plan "
Luna's smile widened."Simple We infiltrate Elysium's HQ. Get the data on their experiments, and expose them to the world .
" Emily gasped. "That's crazy! We'll be killed !"
Luna chuckled . "Not if we do it right. I've hacked their security blueprints . I know a backdoor – an old maintenance tunnel ." Thane's eyes lit up . "Sounds like our only shot ."
Julius frowned . "And the risks? " Luna leaned in, voice low . "Elysium doesn't play nice . But if we succeed, we can take them down . For good ." The group exchanged looks .
Kael nodded . "Let's do it."
Kryros who has been quiet ."I not going"
Fair play to Kryros. Luna raised an eyebrow . "You sure, Kryros? We're heading into the lion's den" .
Kryros leaned back, arms crossed . "I'm keeping watch here . Make sure Elysium doesn't track us back . Plus, someone's gotta keep an eye on the shop ."
Thane nodded . "Alright, you've got the safehouse . Keep the coffee hot ." The group shared a look, then back to business .
Luna mapped out the plan . "Alright, here's the route..."
The group's faces turned grave as Luna unfolded the plan. "We'll breach via the east ventilation shaft . Avoid main corridors – Elysium's got facial recognition." Thane checked his gear .
"Kael, Alex, you're with me. Emily, stay sharp ." Julius frowned . "And Luna?" Luna's smile was cold . "I'll handle the digital front, Disabling cameras, jamming signals."
Kryros watched silently . "Safe trip ." The group's eyes locked . Time to move .
