Progression in Interdimensional Travel (55)

Though the Leviathan loomed large over them, the base's automated defenses were still holding—barely. A few of the exterior gun turrets fired their final rounds, releasing explosive shells into the Leviathan's underbelly. The high-frequency shields created by the outer barriers flickered under the pressure of the beast's presence, but they were holding, giving Lucy and Ethel the precious time they needed to continue their assault.

The Ravagers and Skulkers were still wreaking havoc around the base, but Lucy and Ethel had kept their focus. They knew that the Leviathan was the true threat—the key to surviving this battle.

They were fighting for the base and for every life within it.

And they were winning.
