The faint glow of pre-dawn light filtered into the war room, but Ethan and his team showed no signs of slowing. Jessica sat at the edge of the conference table, her tablet connected to the holographic display as it projected new updates on Polaris Solutions.
"They're crumbling faster than we anticipated," Jessica said, her voice steady but edged with fatigue. "Two of their largest subcontractors have already pulled out after our... strategic interventions. Without them, Polaris can't deliver on Borealis's new contracts."
Mark leaned forward, his fingers steepled as he studied the data. "That leaves Borealis fully exposed. If Polaris folds, they won't be able to maintain supply chain operations for more than a few weeks."
Ethan stood at the head of the table, his expression unreadable as he analyzed the numbers. He hadn't spoken for several minutes, his mind racing through the layers of the game.
