"They’re inside the building!" Kael shouted. The sound of gunfire erupted through the comms. "Rya, get out of there!"

A heavy, mechanical thud sounded at the heavy steel door. Then another. The metal groaned, buckling inward under the force of a Swarm Enforcer. Rya didn't look back.

"Almost there, Rya," a voice crackled through her earpiece. It was Kael, perched on a rusted crane three blocks away, his sniper rifle aimed at a patrolling Swarm Seeker. "If that file is what the Resistance says it is, we can shut down their signal for good."
