I was already in the command center when the first alerts began cascading across our monitoring systems, holographic displays painting the room in urgent reds as Marcus Stormwind's carefully coordinated assault unfolded across the continental transportation network. The military precision was immediately apparent—this wasn't the panicked response of a desperate organization, but the methodical implementation of a strategy that had been planned down to the minute.
"Simultaneous disruptions at forty-seven major transport hubs," Reika reported, her violet eyes reflecting the glow of tactical displays as she tracked the scope of Marcus's opening move. "Skyveil aircraft are implementing what appears to be a complete blockade of any cargo or passenger movement involving Ouroboros facilities or personnel."
