At five thirty the building began waking up with the particular early morning energy of a group that had been briefed the night before and had processed the information overnight and arrived at the morning ready to work.
Cole's group was in the courtyard at five forty with the east face blast wall materials queued. Damon's four were at the lobby entrance. Shin and Rei were at the anchor point positions by five fifty.
Michael stood in the courtyard and looked at the group assembled in the pre dawn grey and felt the particular weight of a building that had been building toward this moment for forty days.
He looked at the pulse.
The three variant signatures were still consolidated in the northeast. The Aberrant group was still stationary at five blocks southeast.
Still waiting.
