Chapter 2.6: Plans and Organization

1. The Main Group (Mark’s Team)

The March Toward the Hive:

Mark’s group continues their trek, pushing through exhaustion and dwindling supplies. The survivors, though relieved to have the titan mecha, remain skeptical about their chances. Conversations are sparse, interrupted only by the sounds of crunching gravel and the titan mecha’s mechanical hum.

- Mark’s Leadership:

Mark maintains focus, often walking ahead, scanning the horizon for threats. His face betrays his inner conflict—he feels responsible for every life lost so far and is determined not to repeat those failures.

- Jonathan: Oversee the survivors’ use of salvaged weapons and explosives, ensuring they’re battle-ready.

- Elias (the survivor leader): Serve as a scout alongside Jonathan, using his knowledge of the terrain to navigate effectively.

- Titan Mecha Upgrades:
