章 426: First Major Disaster

***

The first light of dawn barely broke through the heavy clouds hanging over the Sector as the Shadow Squad descended into the slums, moving silently through it.

The place provided ample cover for their covert operation, but they didn't take it easy.

Even though it was early, the slums were already stirring with life as people exited the black market, done with their day.

Still, the squad's presence went unnoticed, as if they were nothing more than shadows.

This small team consisted of the best of the best—Ben, the squad leader, the only one worthy enough to have his name remembered by Emir; Donovan, the techie of the group, his Netweaver prowess on par with Emir himself; Jax, the most experienced at infiltration, able to blend into most environments; and Joe, the master of face manipulation, a man who could easily disguise himself as anyone or act in a way completely fitting his label as the average Joe.
