Area 51, Nevada, General Command Hall.
In the General Command Hall, the clatter of keyboards and crisp orders rang out without pause. Everyone was busy coordinating military forces from every location, while fresh reinforcements continually joined the battle.
The war in the skies, in particular, had been a complete defeat for humanity.
Fighter jets struggled to break through to Thanos's mothership, unable to breach the massive destroyer blockade under his command.
