Bab 193: Area 52

The dozens of enforcers hovered in the sky, their carts forming a barricade as they watched the unfolding events with a mixture of confusion and trepidation. Their pursuit of the fleeing cart had come to an abrupt halt, the energy beams that had streaked through the air moments ago now silenced.

A hush had fallen over the formation, the only sound the distant hum of their engines.

In the pit area or driver area, a series of warning lights were still flashing on the navigational screens, casting an ominous red glow over the faces of the enforcers. A message flashed across the displays, a single word that sent a chill down the spine of even the most hardened among them: "AREA 52."
