The Florensa stays in motion along Long Island’s blackened landing road. Sirens braid with rotor thunder as Swatcat helicopters sweep between towers and sleek jets rake the clouded sky above.

Keep south, nephew. Do not give those sky patrols a clean look at us.
Every channel breaks beneath an amplified voice. Across the landing command, catmen security troops seal gates, raise scanners, and deploy in ordered columns toward the road.
Kadab Kadar Kadab Kadash Kadab Kadar

the vampire priest DJ
That voice is on every band now. His people are calling the Florensa a possible accomplice vehicle.
A helicopter’s search beam slides across the towers, then skims the road behind them. The Florensa’s flagged scan signature pulses red on Warren’s dashboard while distant troops spread toward the intersections.
Warren
There is the command district ahead. We keep moving, but the road is starting to belong to Kadab.
