The Rendezvous

[Later That Day]

Back at the base, the atmosphere was calmer but still buzzing with the energy of their recent success. Rey leaned against the rough wall of the meeting room, arms crossed, as Tess addressed the team.

"Headquarters has finally reached out," She announced, her tone serious but laced with relief.

"We've received the coordinates for a rendezvous location."

The team listened intently, their expressions a mix of curiosity and concern.

Tess continued, "Josh and I will be going there to hand over the resources we've collected, exchange information, and receive our next directive."

Rey tilted his head slightly, curiosity piqued. "Directives?"

Tess nodded. "HQ gives us specific tasks regarding the Dragon King and his forces. These can range from sabotaging their supply lines to infiltrating strongholds or even launching direct assaults on any of their bases. They dictate the overall strategy, and we execute."
