Seraph didn't waste a single second. The moment the Headmaster's orders came through, she was in motion, full of direct and quick energy. "My workshop," she said to Jonah and Vanessa, her voice sharp and final, leaving no room for questions. "Now. We're building a team."
Her personal workshop wasn't like Jonah's or Vanessa's library of runes. It was a military briefing room, pure and simple. A large, holographic map table, currently dark, stood in the center of the room. The walls were lined not with shelves of components or books, but with weapons racks holding a variety of deadly-looking firearms and tactical gear. The space was bare and useful. It smelled faintly of gun oil. This room had one purpose only: getting ready for war.
The original members of the Anomaly Species Task Force were already there, waiting for them. It was clear Seraph had summoned them the moment she received the mission.
