Chapter 663: Groundhog Day

Dex summoned a virtual keyboard with one hand and activated Groundhog. Within moments, Mongoose cursed loudly and sat down on the platform. "Clocks ticking... Let's leave him in peace while he works."

Gadget nodded in agreement and stepped off the platform. "We can recon the inside of Yuli's stronghold."

Dex moved through the air, toward the double doors. "Put us in real-time, Syntax."

[Initiating real-time, stand-by.]

The scene shifted slightly, the light changing to a pre-dawn dimness. No roving guards were visible; however, there were several drones.

Dex whistled softly. "Remotely manned security drones. We need to find the operator's jump capsule."

Gadget was already scanning the drone; he sent its schematic to everyone's hud. "Top of the line. We'll need to hack one."
