⎯Still nothing from Claude's team?
Secretary Kim moved the phone against his ear while looking over the technician's shoulder. Several camera feeds filled the monitor, showing different areas around the Gate.
"There's been no direct contact. The scouts are still searching for them."
The Secretary replied over the phone, the Section Chief's voice following right after.
⎯And their condition?
"All four are showing normal vital signs. There haven't been any sudden changes since they entered."
⎯That's good.
The Secretary used the opportunity to check the display beside the camera feeds. The numbers had risen again, prompting the technician to compare them against the previous readings.
"The Gate's output is still increasing."
The technician mumbled, his brows creasing slowly as he went through the numbers displayed on the monitor.
"The current estimate remains B-Rank, but it's getting closer to A. The BUA might take over soon."
