The holographic map of the Asia-Pacific region shimmered on the wall, now pulsing with four brilliant green dots: Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Taipei. A fifth red zone—Busan—blazed ominously, the last holdout along the East Asian coastline before the mainland. The war room buzzed with quiet focus, a hum of purpose rather than panic.
Thomas Estaris stood at the center of it all, silent but resolute, eyes fixed on the crimson shade covering South Korea's southern tip. Around him, Rebecca, Casimiro, and Colonel Sison reviewed intelligence packets and thermal readouts streamed from orbiting recon drones and autonomous surface crawlers skimming the outskirts of the Incheon-Seoul region.
