As the dust settled from their successful capture of the Shadow Regent, the team at the Alliance headquarters was energized and focused. The capture provided them with a rare opportunity to glean insights into the Collective's operations, but the celebrations were short-lived.
The Shadow Regent sat in a secure holding cell, his demeanor calm and almost amused, as if he were a player in a game that had taken an unexpected turn but was far from over.
Sophia and Marcus prepared to interrogate him, eager to extract valuable information. They entered the room, determined to uncover the full scope of the Collective's plans.
The Regent looked up, a sly smile playing on his lips. "I see you're eager to understand what you're up against."
Sophia met his gaze steadily. "You should start talking if you want to avoid spending the rest of your life in a cell. Tell us about the Collective's operations and the attacks you have planned."
