Chapter 56 - Chapter 54 – Tactical Insertion

Jump Date: March 14, 2147

Temporal Coordinates: South Pole, Antarctic Earth (former Russian Vostok Station)

Mission Objective: Contain Delta-Class anomaly | Retrieve fragment linked to Operation White Blood (2086)

Deployed Unit: Command Clan

Operator: Kael

The transition was clean.

No neural sync lag. No perceptual distortion.

Kael landed alone. As always.

Vostok Station, deactivated for over a century, appeared preserved under layers of ice — frozen in time. But League records were clear: seven cycles ago, the station emitted irregular temporal pulses. Delta-Class anomaly. Risk of cascade rupture.

This was the exact purpose of the Command Clan — not a squad, not a battalion. Just one man: Kael.

Since its inception, the Command Clan had consisted of a single operator. One agent. One protocol.

Self-sufficient. Absolute discretion. Unlimited adaptability.

---

The current mission required:

1. Locate the anomaly's epicenter

2. Retrieve temporal fragment coded "S86-WHITE"

3. Neutralize residual traces of Operation White Blood

It wasn't a combat operation.

It was a surgical one. Cold. Precise. Solitary.

---

The Command Base, known only as Orb N-3, orbited in total silence, beyond conventional sensor range.

Kael had access to three key sectors:

Active Mission Core

Temporal Recalibration Room

Class Zero Archives — restricted even from League AIs

No greetings. No human voices.

Only encoded instructions, delivered directly to his neural interface.

Kael had no superior.

Only function.
