Chapter 52: The Turning Point

The smart court pulsed with energy, its surface shimmering with a faint blue glow as Cyrus materialized seemingly out of nowhere. His BioSync jersey [self-regulating sportswear with programmable nano-fibers] flickered, adapting to his sudden burst of speed as he snatched the ball from Orion's grasp. The nanoscopic sensors in the ball registered the change in possession, sending a ripple of data across the holographic displays suspended above the court.

Jaxon received Cyrus's pass, the ball humming softly as it connected with his hands. He bounced it twice, each impact sending a small shockwave through the energy field beneath his feet. With a fluid motion, he released it to Talon, who sprinted through the left Tactical quadrant [sideline area with special effects]. The court beneath Talon's feet shifted, providing just enough resistance to challenge his agility without impeding his progress.
