The Theotech Site had turned into a logistical hotspot eversince.
Between Kuzunoha and Viviane working tirelessly on countermeasures for the Pallid Mermaids, the neuromorphic reinforcements I'd implemented, and the sheer scale of our findings within the abyssal layers, the entire expedition had ballooned into something far more cumbersome than I had anticipated.
Still, everything was moving efficiently—as expected.
With Kuzunoha's expertise, the necessary countermeasures were already being laid out. Viviane, as reliable and hardworking as ever, had been running a simultaneous deep analysis on the spatial distortions within the Theotech Site.
If Pallid Mermaids were crawling into our world through unknown breaches, I had no doubt she would find the pattern.
