Gavrok locks onto Delta’s location

Gavrok studies a grid map of Wales on his ship’s viewscreen, where a light pulses on the south coast. He realizes Delta must be nearby despite the destroyed beacon, forcing his forces to conduct a sweeping search. His commanding presence radiates cold determination as he accepts that Delta’s advanced technology will soon betray her exact position. The hunt shifts from opportunistic pursuit to methodical annihilation, leaving Delta with no safe haven and her pursuers poised for a decisive strike. key_dialogue: [ GAVROK: She's somewhere in that quadrant. It's a pity we had to destroy the beacon when we killed that mercenary. We'll have to scan the whole area until we find some trace of advanced technology emissions. But she will soon be dead. ]
