Vincent stood in the command center, still reeling from the unexpected assault on their northern perimeter. The Mantis had done its job, holding off the attackers, but he couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't over. He needed answers.

Turning to one of the officers, Vincent barked the order. "Send a squad to the north. I want a full sweep. Look for survivors and bring them back for questioning. We need to know who these people are and why they're coming after us."

"Yes, sir," the officer replied, snapping to attention. He quickly relayed the command to the nearby soldiers.

Within minutes, a team of heavily armed soldiers was moving out, making their way toward the northern perimeter where the chaos had unfolded.
