Imperial Capital, Morning Star Headquarters.
Luca, Donlow, and Fuzzsir had been waiting at the entrance for a full quarter of an hour.
Under normal circumstances, someone should have come to escort them into the building the moment they arrived at the headquarters. But during the past fifteen minutes, not a single person had entered or exited the Morning Star facility.
The three of them found this highly unusual.
Fuzzsir, drenched in sweat, kept fiddling with his communicator, trying to get in touch with other Morning Star members.
But no response came—none whatsoever. It was as if all the Morning Star personnel had mysteriously vanished.
Luca, while beginning to grow slightly impatient, managed to remain composed. He also figured he could use the downtime to carefully observe the Morning Star headquarters.
