Rows of Elyndorian medical transport units parked along the perimeter of the tech center.
The hastily erected, high-intensity quarantine sector blazed with brilliant floodlights.
Elyndor's premier medical vanguard stood at the front lines, drenched in sweat.
Critical condition notices were printed out one after another.
Back-to-back remote consultations flooded the monitors.
On the massive displays, medical titans from across the globe were dialed in via transnational uplinks, frantically debating triage protocols with absolute desperation.
Endless streams of vitals and treatment algorithms bounced between international specialists, constantly analyzed and aggressively modified.
Every single soul was sprinting in a brutal race against the grim reaper.
Everyone knew the devastating truth.
Whether these national treasures—beaten to the absolute brink of death by the Obsidian Sun—would survive, entirely depended on these first few agonizing hours.
However, just as Elyndor was fighting tooth and nail for every second of their lives,
An incredibly jarring and hostile narrative abruptly erupted from the foreign media outlets.
Initially, it was just a handful of foreign press syndicates publishing thinly veiled, sarcastic hit pieces.
[Is Elyndor really going all out to save the experts? Or are they just seizing control of the board?]
[Global top minds hang by a thread. Are there catastrophic failures in Elyndor's rescue operation?]
[Why haven't any of the rescued national treasures cleared the critical list yet?]
[Is Elyndor using this crisis to harvest firsthand biometric data on the world's most elite minds?]
[Is Elyndor's rescue mission nothing but a political stunt?]
The headlines grew progressively more disgusting.
The phrasing became increasingly inflammatory and manipulative.
At first, this rhetoric didn't manage to generate much of a splash.
But incredibly fast,
More and more foreign outlets threw themselves into the fray.
"Anonymous insiders" popped up one after another.
[Internal sources report Elyndor's medical team is deliberately withholding treatment protocols.]
