With the secrets of the Vanguard still fresh in their minds, Nile and Ava emerged from the catacombs, the weight of their discovery heavy on their shoulders.

Nile continued, "We need people we can trust. We're forming a team to investigate these threats and protect the artifacts we've found."
Marcus regarded them for a moment, his eyes narrowing. "I've heard whispers about your recent activities. If what you're saying is true, it's a matter of utmost importance. Count me in."
