Surrounded

A few hours ago, within the hidden chamber of the Hartfield Empire's palace, Emperor Markus Hartfield stood with a group of three figures around a faint, floating blue orb held in the air by an intricate array. The room was dimly lit, and an air of urgency hung around them.

The Emperor's sharp gaze was fixed on the pulsating orb as he questioned the three figures, "What is this, and what does it signify?"

One of the figures, a man with a scholarly demeanor, stepped forward and spoke, "Your Majesty, we have detected an anomaly in space. It appears to be the effect of a powerful teleportation array. Someone has used a significant amount of energy to transport a group of individuals across a vast distance."

"Can you pinpoint their precise location?" the Emperor inquired.
