As Marco stepped off the ne and joined the soldiers on the ground, they dove into the mountain


    forest as one.


    Hubert couldn’t help but grin when he noticed Marco decked out in special equipment. “Nice look,” he


    quipped.


    Marco surveyed their surroundings, his face an emotionless mask. “Are we waiting for nightfall?”


    Hubert nodded solemnly.


    “After dark, they will drop their guards. But moving at night brings its own set of obstacles. Before you


    and Loraine joined, we had a fifty-fifty chance at sess. Luckily, your artificial intelligence and


    Loraine’s topographic map have boosted our chances.”


    Just then, Loraine’s soothing voice chimed in through their earpieces.


    “Stay on your toes and be careful.”


    Each team member acknowledged her counsel.


    Sess seemed more attainable with Qbot’s remote monitoring and


    Loraine’s masterful nning from her airborne vantage point.

    “Two targets northwest.”


    “There’s one more southeast.”


    The soldiers crept up to their marks and silently neutralized them.


    Progress was swift and seamless, leaving the team exhrated by the unprecedented ease of their


    mission.


    Marco’s performance astonished everyone. He was agile, stealthy, and swift, he consistently reached


    Loraine’s designated locations first.


    Their teamwork was unspoken and efficient.


    Genuinely awed, Hubert signaled his approval to Marco.


    “Outstanding! You’re nearly on par with the Cheetah Command. Have you had any training?”


    “Yes.”


    Marco was reticent, and Hubert was left speechless.
