The van drove through darkness. Nickey sat across from Marcus. Two armed guards flanked him.

"You're lying," Marcus said. His voice was calm. Too calm. "There are no other documents."

"Then why keep me alive?"

"Because I'm curious. Curious to see how long you'll maintain this charade before you break."

Marcus pulled out a knife. Tested the edge with his thumb. Blood welled. "Pain is an excellent truth serum."

Nickey's phone buzzed in his pocket. Marcus gestured. A guard took it. Checked the screen.

"Text from your girlfriend. Says she's bleeding. Needs a hospital."

Nickey's heart stopped. "Trina?"

"The baby's in distress apparently. Wants to know where you are." Marcus smiled. "Convenient timing. Almost like someone planned it."

"Let me call her."

"No. You'll show me the documents first. Then we'll discuss medical care for your pregnant girlfriend."

The van pulled off the highway. Down a dirt road. They stopped at an abandoned warehouse. Windows broken. Weeds everywhere.

    The submarine surfaced off the coast of Norway. They'd been underwater for eighteen hours. No sleep. No food. Just running."Marcus is dead," James said. "We burned his body. Watched it melt.""Then explain the message." Nickey showed his phone again. "Explain how he knows about Hope. About the sun. About everything.""Could be someone using his name. Psychological warfare."Sarah shook her head. "Marcus uploaded his consciousness before we destroyed him. Catherine mentioned it. Said he could download into another body.""Where would he get another body?""Catherine had clones. Dozens of them. Maybe Marcus had the same setup."Volkov checked his laptop. "If Marcus is alive, he'd need a facility to download into. Somewhere with the right equipment. I can track energy signatures that match neural transfer technology."He typed commands. Searched. Found something."Here. Facility in Romania. Massive p

    The coordinates led to an abandoned oil rig in the North Sea. The submarine docked at the base. Nickey, Trina, James, and Volkov climbed the rusty ladder to the platform."This is insane," Trina said. "We just destroyed Catherine. Now we're walking into another trap?""If my father's alive, I need to know why he's been hiding. Why he let us think he was dead."They reached the top platform. A single door stood open. Light spilled out.Inside was a conference room. Clean. Modern. Not abandoned at all.Their father sat at the head of a table. Alive. Healthy. Younger looking than he should be."Hello children. Sit. We have much to discuss.""You're alive." Nickey's voice was flat. "You've been alive this whole time.""Yes. And no. It's complicated.""Uncomplicate it."His father stood. Walked to a screen on the wall. Pressed a button. Images appeared. Timeline charts. Genetic maps. "I was never frozen accidentally. I froze myself deliberately. To survive what was coming.""The collapse.

    The submarine descended into the Arctic Ocean. Two days traveling underwater. No communication with the outside world. Just the hum of engines and the pressure of water above.Nickey sat in the cramped quarters holding Hope. She'd been quiet since Oslo. Too quiet. Like she sensed what was coming.Volkov entered. "We're approaching the facility. Twenty minutes to insertion point.""How do we get inside?""Maintenance tunnel. Underwater access. Catherine built it as an escape route. She doesn't know I know about it.""How can you be sure?""Because if she did, I'd already be dead." Volkov handed him a wetsuit. "Put this on. The tunnel is flooded for the first hundred meters. After that, it's dry."Trina took Hope. "What about her? She can't dive.""She won't have to." Volkov showed them a specialized carrier. Waterproof. Temperature controlled. Oxygen supply. "She'll be safe inside this. Unconscious from mild sedative. Won't even know she's underwater.""You want to drug my daughter?""

    The plane leveled at thirty thousand feet. Hope finally stopped crying. Trina rocked her gently. "That text," James said. "It can't be Catherine. I saw Sarah shoot her. Saw her fall." "Then who sent it?" Nickey stared at his phone. "Who else uses C as a signature?" "Maybe it's a bluff. Sarah trying to keep us scared." "Why would Sarah do that?" "Because she's running the Covenant now. Needs us afraid. Needs us running. Keeps us from interfering." Trina looked up. "Or Catherine survived. Again. Like she always does." Nickey's phone buzzed. Another text. *Land in Oslo. Terminal B. A friend is waiting. Trust him. You'll need his help for what comes next.* "It's a trap," James said immediately. "Everything's a trap." Nickey showed the pilot the message. "Change course. Oslo." "Are you insane?" Trina grabbed h

    Covenant soldiers surrounded them. Weapons aimed. No escape visible.Catherine walked forward slowly. Confident. She looked at Hope in Trina's arms. "My beautiful granddaughter. Finally. After all these years of planning.""Stay back," Trina said. She clutched Hope tighter."Or what? You'll shoot me? With fifty guns pointed at you?" Catherine smiled. "Be reasonable. I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm here to save you.""By enslaving us?""By preserving humanity. There's a difference."Nickey stepped between Catherine and Trina. "You're not taking her.""I already have. Look around. You're surrounded. Outgunned. Betrayed by your own father. It's over. Accept it gracefully."His father stood beside Catherine. "Nickey, please. Listen to her. She's right about everything. The collapse is coming. Fighting won't stop it.""You're a coward. You always were.""I'm a realist. And I'm saving your life. Even if you hate me for it."Catherine gestured to her soldiers. "Take the child. Kill anyone w

    The plane landed at Vostok Station. Negative sixty degrees outside. Four hours before frostbite killed them.Nickey suited up in thermal gear. Checked his weapons. "If I'm not back in five hours, take Hope and run."Trina grabbed his face. "Come back. Don't be a hero.""I'm just a father protecting his family."They kissed. Then Nickey, James, and four soldiers left the plane. Walked through brutal wind toward the abandoned research station."Heat signature ahead," James said, checking his scanner. "Underground bunker. Three hundred meters."They found a metal hatch. Planted charges. Blew it open.Descended three levels. Found a large chamber with medical equipment and computers humming. In the center stood a cryo pod. Frost covered the glass. Inside was their father's body."He froze himself," Nickey whispered. "Been here twenty years."Marcus stepped from the shadows. Half his face was metal. One eye replaced with a red sensor. Burns covered his synthetic skin."Finally. The family
