57 was already at the meeting points. He'd sent the coordinates to Arcanus via a secure channel, heavily encrypted and lined straight from the HQ to his workshop. No digital interference, no eavesdroppers. Tyler hadn't responded, but for someone that chaotic, it wasn't abnormal. However, he couldn't send Tyler the coordinates without knowing for sure he'd be able to receive them, information like that was a dangerous thing if it got around. If it meant he'd be performing this raid with him and Arcanus, so be it - he'd seen Arcanus in action once, and the man was a literal walking tank. He'd provide brute force and mechanical aid, where 57 would provide stealth support.

57 himself had attired himself in his Ghost armor, automatically blending into the background foliage. Stalking through the dimly lit pathways of morning, he had found the location. It was surrounded by highly dense forests, and his sensors had been blocked as he'd approached. High quality communications interceptors, which explained how the routine scans performed by Helios hadn't found this place. Either there was a meta within with an awfully specific ability, or the FF had access to technology they shouldn't. Either situation would provide valuable data that would need to be confirmed.

The moment Arcanus entered the area, 57 would commence with the operation. He'd scoped out the area already. The main base was hidden underground behind a series of locked doors. Presumably, there would be a variety of security measures in place, including but not limited to chemical weapons. If this was an important base, they might even have powerful metas guarding the doors. High-level hemokinetics or psychics to detect evil intent before any action had even been taken. It would take a small army to take the main entrance by force, the strict passages and traps costing many drones.

As such, the only good way to go about this was to not play by their rules.
