Main Story Chapter 12
The Adjutant was shot during an internal Yggdrasil purge operation codenamed "Breakpoint," while Lyfe was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The operatives were subsequently kept under house arrest, not permitted to leave until τ ordered the Adjutant to lead the squad on an escort mission to Yehrus.
At the Yehrus Border, Chenxing and Tess were ambushed while escorting the consignment and their comms were completely blocked. Various signs indicated that this was no ordinary escort mission.
