The Dolunay Complex was a fortress in chaos. Smoke filled the corridors, alarms blared, and the once-impenetrable veneer of the shadow network's stronghold was cracking. Ethan Carter, seated at Zenith Tower's command center in New York, was calm yet commanding. His voice cut through the chaos like a blade.
"Jessica, status?" Ethan demanded, his gaze fixed on the live feeds from Istanbul.
Jessica's fingers flew across the keyboard. "I've bypassed two levels of the lockdown, but their internal systems are layered. The elevators and stairwell exits are still sealed."
Ethan leaned closer. "Prioritize the elevator override. If we don't get them out in the next three minutes, the shadow network's reinforcements will box them in."
Jessica nodded, her determination evident. "Working on it. Team Bravo is buying us some time."
