The night air was tense as Nexus's team assembled outside Erebus's HQ.
Paxton and Zero took positions, ready to face the elite squads.
Dr. Taylor's medical drone hovered, ready.
Lena and Payton hacked into Erebus's systems.
Nexus led the infiltration team into the maintenance tunnel.
Elite squad units closed in.
The final battle loomed.
Nexus's team moved swiftly through the maintenance tunnel, avoiding detection.
Paxton's voice crackled over comms. "Elite Squad Alpha-12 closing in on our position."
Zero's response was calm. "I've got this. Taking position to intercept."
Lena's hacking skills allowed her to bypass security checkpoints.
"Clear path ahead," Payton confirmed.
Dr. Taylor's medical drone hovered, ready to provide support.
Nexus led the team deeper into Erebus's HQ.
Suddenly, Zero's voice came over comms. "Engaging enemy forces. Provide cover."
Paxton's response was immediate. "Supporting Zero. Hold position."
Nexus's team paused, waiting for the firefight to subside.
Lena's eyes locked onto the security feed. "Elite Squad Bravo-9 moving to flank."
Payton's fingers flew across her keyboard. "Redirecting Bravo-9 to Paxton's position."
The sound of gunfire echoed through the tunnel.
Zero's voice came over comms, calm but urgent. "Need backup. Overwhelmed."
Paxton responded, "In route to support."
Nexus made the call. "Lena, Payton, keep hacking. Dr. Taylor, move in with medical support. We need to keep Zero and Paxton alive."
