Suddenly, the video feed began to tear. Digital artifacts ripped across the screen. The man in the suit began to scream, though the camera had no microphone.

Elias looked at the floor of the warehouse on his screen. The man was pointing at a crate that had a symbol spray-painted on it. A symbol Elias recognized.
