The eight of them spread out as they climbed, instinctively creating a spherical formation around the point where Liam hovered, waiting.
Matt positioned himself directly above Liam, perhaps fifty meters up. Kristopher took a position below and to the left. Alex mirrored him on the right. The girls distributed themselves around the remaining angles, creating a three-dimensional net with Liam at the center.
"Much better already," Liam's voice came through the communication system, carrying genuine approval. "You're thinking spatially now. This is how you use the exosuits properly."
Harper's voice was slightly strained, probably from the mental effort of maintaining formation while hovering. "Okay, so we've got him surrounded. Now what?"
"Now you attack," Liam said simply. "But coordinate. Don't just rush in one at a time like before. Pick a signal, move together, force me to deal with threats from multiple vectors simultaneously."
