"We need to regroup," Cynthia said finally, her voice steady despite the chaos. "Marcus, Lena, assess the system. Make sure no residual threats remain."
Lena nodded, already pulling up diagnostic tools. Marcus exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. "It's not going to be easy. Kane knew exactly where to strike."
Prometheus crossed his arms. "Which means he's not working alone. Someone inside has been feeding him information."
Cynthia's gaze darkened. "And we're going to find out who."
Marla checked the security logs, her expression unreadable. "Whoever the mole is, they covered their tracks well. But no one can hide forever."
The weight of those words hung in the air as the team got to work. But Cynthia knew the truth—this wasn't just about fixing the system.
Kane had forced their hand. And now, it was time to fight back.
