"What?!"
Amado's whole body jolted when he heard the urgent communication from the communications team at the underground base in the Core Node.
Ada and Daemon, the siblings who had just arrived at headquarters, hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
They knew Amado well. He was a man who never let his emotions show, and they had never seen him this shocked!

Ada pondered for a moment, then said, "'B' sealed
