(Days after Skylar's meltdown)
Colonel Pierce stood before Dr. Voss, his expression stern. "We've received intel on Creastcaller's activities. She's deemed a high-risk threat."
Dr. Voss's eyes narrowed, careful to maintain her secret. "I'm not aware of any credible leads on Creastcaller's identity or whereabouts."
Colonel Pierce handed her a classified file. "This information suggests otherwise. We believe Creastcaller is hiding in plain sight, possibly within the scientific community."
Dr. Voss scanned the document, her thoughts racing:
_How close are they to discovering Skylar?_
_How can I protect her without arousing suspicion?_
Elysia entered, concern etched on her face. "Colonel Pierce, what's this about?"
"Creastcaller," he replied. "We need Dr. Voss's expertise to track her down."
Elysia's expression remained neutral, but Dr. Voss detected a flicker of alarm. "I'll assist, Colonel. But I must emphasize the importance of discretion."
Colonel Pierce nodded. "Understood. We'll work together to contain this threat."
Dr. Voss's mind whirled:
_Maintain the facade_: Keep Skylar's secret safe.
_Distract the military_: Feed them misleading information.
_Protect Skylar_: Ensure her safety above all else.
As the meeting concluded, Dr. Voss turned to Elysia. "We must ensure Skylar's... research continues uninterrupted."
Elysia's eyes locked onto Dr. Voss's, understanding the unspoken message. "I'll see to it, Dr. Voss."
The hidden threat of discovery loomed, testing Dr. Voss's resolve to safeguard Skylar's secret.
