Chapter: Exploring the Union's Core

Adam stepped out of the pristine white room, the futuristic holographic displays still vivid in his mind.
As the door slid shut behind him, Zero, who stood nearby, tilted his head slightly in curiosity. "Lord Adam," Zero began, his tone polite but inquisitive, "didn't the room meet your expectations?"
Adam turned back, a small smirk forming on his lips. "It's not that I wasn't impressed, Zero. On the contrary, it's extraordinary. But I want to see everything this base has to offer. It's easy to get lost admiring one thing, and I'm here for the full picture."
Zero gave a respectful nod, stepping aside to let Adam pass. "Understood, Lord Adam. There is much more to see."
As Adam continued down the illuminated corridor, Ninja and Phantom followed silently, their presence a steady reassurance.
The soft hum of the overhead lights filled the space, blending seamlessly with the faint mechanical sounds of the base's advanced systems.
