Back aboard the Starbreaker, tensions simmered. The fragile alliance with the Dawn Syndicate weighed heavily on the crew.
Suddenly, a coded warning arrived—someone within the rebel network was leaking information to the Council.
Lira's fingers flew over the decryption keys. "They've tracked our last mission's coordinates. We're compromised."
Titan slammed his fist on the table. "A traitor. We need to find them—before it's too late."
Kaela tightened her weapon grip. "And fast. The Council's forces will strike soon."
Merek checked the ship's defenses. "We've got one chance to hit back hard. I'm assembling a team."
Lira looked at her friends—trust and doubt tangled in her heart.
The fight was no longer just against the Council—it was a battle for survival within their own ranks.
