at full strength. Another seventy-two hours and everything will be in place.”

“Show me.”

Crow stepped to the side, revealing a large aircraft hangar sprawling away behind him. In the distance, huge doors stood open, with the faded outline of mountains cast against a bright sky beyond. The size of the facility was barely comprehensible; its proportions were only calculable because of what it contained.

Looking down through the camera, soldiers were lined up almost wall-to-wall. Thousands upon thousands of men, surrounded by vehicles and helicopters, were uniformed and organized and armed.

Crow cleared his throat. “As you can see, sir, Tristar’s forces are in place. The other sites are almost ready too.”

Hall’s expression didn’t change. He simply nodded.

“Good. You’ve done well, Brandon.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“This almost makes up for how many times you dropped the ball over the last couple of weeks.”

Crow swallowed hard and said nothing.

“I’ll be in touch.” He nodded at his colleague, who clicked the screen off. He then stood straight and began to pace around the table. “GlobaTech’s recovery in Paluga will not happen again, even with Schultz’s support. The U.S. government is nothing but a slave to the media we control. Our organization has spent decades preparing for this moment. This country doesn’t have the manpower, the technology, or the intelligence to stop what’s about to happen. The people have grown weak and complacent.”

One of the board members reluctantly raised his hand. Hall shot him a glance.

The man took a shaky breath. “Won’t the president order military support?”

Hall rolled his eyes and scoffed. “It wouldn’t do them any good if he did. But he won’t. As with everything nowadays, politics and public relations get in the way of action, and we are masters of both. The future of warfare is psychological, not physical. It’s evolved into little more than a business transaction. And we’re masters of those too.”

The man nodded. “And… what about GlobaTech? Surely, they will intervene?”

Hall stopped pacing and locked eyes with the board member.

“I’m counting on it.”

Epilogue #2

The man picked up the ringing desk phone and held the receiver to his ear. The voice that spoke to him was calm and measured, but its tone was laced with urgency.

“It’s me,” said Buchanan. “I need to call in one of those favors you owe me.”

The man looked around the room, observing the four people who were watching him expectantly.

“I was wondering when you were gonna call,” said Adrian Hell, smiling. “What do you need?”
