With KK's arrival, the last personnel for this temporary command center were in place, and the equipment was ready. The entire task force officially began operations.
As a task force, they were not fighting alone.
It was like deploying troops and assigning commanders; they could not rely on just a few core leaders. The Night City Police Department provided numerous supporting positions and backup teams. The so-called "task force" was actually the brain of the entire operation, using itself as the core to mobilize resources from every department.
At that moment, teams dispatched by the Information Division, Search Division, and a series of other departments had already begun their work. Through their coordinated efforts, firsthand intelligence continuously flowed into the room, rapidly cycling across every screen.
The Night City Police Department took this matter very seriously and had given River Ward considerable authority. Aside from units like the Special Operations Team and Psycho Squad, which could only be called in during the most critical emergencies, he could mobilize precinct resources from nearly any district in Night City.
After all, if they could not give those people on the City Council an explanation, the Night City Police Department would receive far less support in the future. The councilmen certainly did not want to be the next ones assassinated for no apparent reason.
Chief Johnson's meaning was clear: they had to find an answer. Otherwise, the Night City Police Department's future budget and support from the City Council would both be put to the test. Whether it was revenge or an accident, the result had to convince the City Council.
River Ward quickly settled into his role. Once the investigative machine officially started moving, he cast aside every stray thought, including Carl, and immersed himself completely in the flood of information.
