The convoy reached Highcross while daylight still remained.
The Guardian APC entered the western avenue.
Its turret followed the surrounding buildings while the two transport vehicles moved behind it, passing recovery trucks, secured storefronts, and the temporary barriers placed around the underground entrances.
South One still controlled the district.
Soldiers occupied the intersections surrounding the central parking structure, while another squad guarded the western service alley where Hans and the others had entered the chamber. Portable lights remained around the widened drainage opening.
The convoy stopped beside the outer barrier.
Tyrus left the first transport vehicle before the rear equipment compartment opened. Johannes followed with Evelyn and Marcus, while two soldiers began unloading the first sealed cases.
An Engineer waited near the entrance.
"Mr. Shearman."
"The chamber?"
