Shadow and steel

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After the squad got trapped they were separated and held in different cells.

Maya's eyes adjusted to the dim light of her cell, the faint hum of machinery and the distant murmur of voices her only companions. She was alone, but she knew she couldn't stay that way for long. With a calculated movement, she began to examine her restraints, searching for any weakness. The cuffs were tight, but she managed to loosen them slightly, working them back and forth until they slid off her wrists.

Freed from her restraints, Maya approached the door, listening intently for any sounds outside. The footsteps she heard were heavy and deliberate, echoing down the corridor like a ticking time bomb. She recognized the gait of a seasoned guard, someone who wasn't easily intimidated. Maya's training kicked in, her muscles tensing as she prepared for action.

The door slid open, and the guard entered, his eyes scanning the room before landing on Maya. For a split second, he hesitated, his expression a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Maya sprang into action, taking down the guard with a swift kick that sent him crashing to the floor. She grabbed the guard's rifle, feeling a familiar weight in her hands as she made a run for the door

Ryder's interrogator sneered at him, his voice dripping with condescension. "You're not as tough as you think you are," he said, his words laced with venom. Ryder spat at the interrogator's feet, a glob of saliva landing with a wet splat on the polished floor. "You'll never break me," he growled, his eyes flashing with defiance.

The interrogator chuckled, the sound sending a shiver down Ryder's spine. "We'll see about that," he said, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. Ryder's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with escape plans as he calculated the distance between himself and the interrogator

While in a different cell...

Axel remained silent, his eyes fixed on the interrogator as he assessed the situation. He was calculating, planning his escape with a detached calmness that belied the tension coiled in his muscles. Axel's training kicked in, and he evaluated the room, taking in the positions of the guards and the potential escape routes.

He knew he could take down the interrogator and escape, but he needed more information. Axel's eyes locked onto the interrogator's, a spark of understanding flashing between them. The interrogator thought he had the upper hand, but Axel knew better. He was playing a waiting game, biding his time until the perfect moment to strike.

Eva watched Kael's squad from the shadows, her eyes narrowed as she observed their struggles. She had been tracking them, trying to understand their motivations, but now they were in trouble. Eva's gaze flicked between the different members of the squad, her expression unreadable.

She could help them, but at what cost? Eva's eyes lingered on Kael, her mind weighing the pros and cons. She decided to wait and observe, for now, her patience and stealth proving to be valuable assets in the game of cat and mouse.
