The Paranormal Military Squad team, while convening in the Dulce military complex, discussed the gravity of their mission and the potential risks associated with the alien message they decoded, which included coordinates and a warning. The team is concerned about whether the warning suggests additional risks to their operation.
As the Paranormal Military Squad team convened in the heart of the Dulce military complex, an air of bristling expectation clung to the walls of the underground sanctum. Alex Mercer’s brow furrowed while watching his companions—Jordan Hayes, diligently setting up their makeshift lab station, and Sam Rivera meticulously checking the communication relays they had restored.
