The warehouse looked abandoned from the outside.
Dante studied it from a rooftop three buildings away, his enhanced vision picking out the details that suggested otherwise: guards positioned too casually to be casual, wards woven into doorframes that would trigger if anyone without authorization crossed them, and the subtle hum of energy that meant the relay was active.
"Four guards visible," Vex reported through their communication crystals. "Standard rotation, no heavy hitters. They're relying on the wards for primary security."
"Which means they don't expect anyone to get past them." Dante turned to Ravenna. "Can you feel what's inside?"
She closed her eyes, extending her demon senses through the building's walls. "One strong signature in the center. Human, or close to it. Something else underneath, something that feels old and connected to things far above this floor."
"It must be the relay."
