The cold wind of Baluchistan bit at Surya's skin as he sat in the jeep. His mind was still reeling from the system's unexpected rewards. The Satellite Link skill intrigued him the most. A tool capable of breaching any satellite network worldwide? That was almost too powerful to believe.
He focused his thoughts. "System, explain how to use Satellite Link."
[System Notification]
Sophon (SSS, Active): This device allows the user to establish a secure connection with any orbital or ground-based satellite system. Functions include but are not limited to:
Real-time surveillance from global satellites.
Decryption of encrypted transmissions.
Manipulation of GPS tracking systems.
Access to military and intelligence databases.
Jamming or overriding enemy communications.
To activate, simply think the command 'Sophon activate' followed by the desired function. Interface will be displayed in the system's HUD.
Surya's lips curled into a smirk. This was beyond what even RAW's most advanced technology could achieve. With this, he could be omnipresent in any operation.
"Let's test it," he muttered.
Taking a deep breath, he mentally commanded, Sophon– Activate real-time surveillance.
At once, his vision blurred before refocusing into a split-screen interface within his mind. He could see multiple live satellite feeds. A flicker of thought zoomed him in on Karachi, then the exact rooftop from where he had taken the shot at Raza Khan. The area was now swarming with ISI agents, inspecting the kill site.
Surya exhaled sharply. "This will change everything."
He switched to another function. Decrypt local communications. The system processed for a brief moment before audio streams flooded in. He filtered through the noise until he heard what he was looking for:
"The shooter vanished without a trace. No footprints, no leads. This is beyond professional."
"RAW must be involved."
"We need every available resource searching for this 'Unknown Gunman.'"
Surya chuckled to himself. They had no idea he was already two steps ahead. This wasn't just an edge—it was total dominance.
A thought crossed his mind, and he asked the system, Can I manipulate their signals to make them believe someone is leaving for the other side?
[System Notification]
Yes. By accessing the communication relay, you can insert false transmissions into ISI's network. This can be done manually or set as an automated misinformation cycle.
Surya's smirk widened. This was the perfect tool to create diversions. He quickly accessed the ISI's local communication network and injected a false report:
"Possible target spotted heading toward the southern border. Deploy interception units immediately."
Within moments, chatter erupted on the channel as orders were relayed to redirect forces.
"Too easy," Surya muttered. If ISI wasted its time chasing ghosts, his real escape route would remain undiscovered.

New Mission Assigned: Meet Mossad Operatives.
Objective: Establish contact with Mossad agents operating in Baluchistan. The meeting will take place in a remote safe house. Mission briefing will involve potential cooperation against high-value ISI targets, including a Pakistani General's upcoming visit to China.
Rewards: ???
Surya's mind raced. RAW and Mossad rarely worked together openly, but in the shadows, their interests often aligned. If Mossad was involved, then this mission held global significance.
"Time to see what the Israelis are up to," he muttered, tightening his grip on his gear.
The game was getting bigger, and Surya was more than ready to play.
As the jeep rumbled along the uneven terrain, Shadow kept his eyes on the road while speaking in a measured tone. "New mission, straight from the agency. You're meeting with Mossad."
Surya turned to face him, his expression neutral. "Mossad?"
Shadow nodded. "They have eyes on a high-value target—Pakistani General Asim Nazir. He's making an official visit to China soon, and we need intel on his objectives. Mossad wants to coordinate."
Surya exhaled, processing the information. "So, they suspect something big?"
"More than suspect. There are whispers of a classified agreement being brokered between Pakistan and China. This could shift the power dynamics in the region."
Surya leaned back, staring at the desert landscape. RAW and Mossad working together wasn't unheard of, but it was rare. The stakes were higher than he initially thought.
That night, as they continued their journey, Surya had another thought.
"System, scan for any Israeli operatives currently active in Baluchistan. Anything suspicious?"
[System Notification]
Scanning...
Three Mossad agents detected within a 50 km radius. Two are maintaining cover identities, while the third has been flagged for abnormal activity—movement patterns suggest counter-surveillance tactics.
Surya's expression hardened. If one of them was actively evading detection, it meant there could be a problem. Either Mossad had encountered resistance—or they suspected a trap.
"Shadow," he said, turning toward his companion, "We may have complications."
Shadow arched an eyebrow. "What kind of complications?"
Surya stared out at the dark horizon. "I need more data first. But keep your weapons close. Something doesn't feel right."
Surya pondered for a moment. ISI wouldn't let Mossad operate freely here. They might even involve LET members to counter them. If that were the case, the battlefield was already shifting into a deadlier game.
