Crowe's guards raised their weapons, but Crowe himself lifted a single hand, unhurried, and they held their position without firing.

"There's no need for that," he said, his tone carrying the same maddening pleasantness Sera remembered from his sitting room. "Miss Ashford and her companions are here to see something, I think. Far be it from me to deny a curious mind its answers. I've always found that the most interesting part of any experiment."

    Daisy sat frozen for a long moment after Sera finished, the two of them still kneeling on the floor of the main hall, children sleeping soundly around them, oblivious to the quiet earthquake happening a few feet away."Say it again," Daisy said finally, her voice strange and hollow. "The name. Subject 7. Say it again.""Subject 7," Sera repeated gently. "It's what the archive calls you. I don't know why, or since when, or what he's actually done to you across whatever this has been. I just know Pixy found the correlation, and I couldn't sit on it, not after everything else we've already lost by staying quiet too long."Daisy pressed the back of her hand against her mouth, breathing unsteadily, and when she finally spoke again, her voice had lost the last of its composure."I always told myself the déjà vu was just déjà vu," she said. "Everyone gets it sometimes. I told myself the fire dreams were finals stress, then apocalypse stress, then just trauma from everything that's actually h

    The archive kept opening onto worse things the deeper Julian and Priya dug, and by the third day of decoding, Sera had stopped expecting any new discovery to be the last one.She found them in the small room Priya had claimed as a makeshift decryption station, cables running between salvaged terminals, printed pages spread across every available surface, Julian's voice crackling through the radio propped beside the workstation, patched in continuously now that the work had become too urgent to interrupt with scheduled calls."You need to see this," Priya said, the moment Sera stepped through the door. Her voice had the particular flatness of someone who'd been staring at horror long enough that shock had worn down into something closer to grim, exhausted focus."Show me."Priya pulled up a document on the terminal, one of dozens Sera had already reviewed over the past two days, except this one carried a header unlike anything they'd found before, a title that made her stomach drop eve

    The alarm cut through the server room half a second after Priya pulled the drive free, a piercing klaxon that seemed to come from every wall at once, red emergency lighting flooding the corridor beyond as they burst back through the reinforced door."Move!" Marcus was already shoving them toward the east corridor, his weapon up, his voice cutting through the chaos with the same controlled discipline that had carried them this far. "Whatever mercy he was extending just ran out. We go now."They ran.The corridor that had been empty on their way in now filled with guards pouring from side doors, shouted orders overlapping into a confused wall of noise, and Sera felt the weight of the drive clutched in her hand as though it had somehow doubled in importance in the last thirty seconds, decades of secrets that absolutely could not be lost now that they'd finally been pulled free.Lucien moved ahead of them, clearing the path with the same terrifying efficiency she'd witnessed at the fence

    Crowe's guards raised their weapons, but Crowe himself lifted a single hand, unhurried, and they held their position without firing."There's no need for that," he said, his tone carrying the same maddening pleasantness Sera remembered from his sitting room. "Miss Ashford and her companions are here to see something, I think. Far be it from me to deny a curious mind its answers. I've always found that the most interesting part of any experiment.""You're just going to let us walk through your facility," Marcus said, weapon still trained on the nearest guard, disbelief and suspicion warring in his voice."I'm going to let you see what you came to see," Crowe corrected. "Whether you walk back out again depends entirely on what you do with it." He looked past them, toward Elise's empty chamber, something almost gentle crossing his face. "Julian's daughter. I imagine that answer costs more than any of you expected to pay tonight."Sera kept her weapon steady, though something in her under

    The distraction went off exactly on schedule, a controlled fire set two hundred yards from the facility's northern perimeter, one of Julian's people slipping away into the dark the moment the first flames caught. Sera watched from the treeline as the patrol response scrambled toward it, three guards breaking from their rotation to investigate, radios crackling with the particular urgency of men trained to treat any anomaly as a potential breach."Now," Marcus said quietly.They moved fast and low along the fence line's blind spot, the gap Priya had identified weeks ago during their first reconnaissance, and Sera felt her pulse hammering with an intensity that no amount of preparation seemed able to blunt. Behind her, Lucien moved with the same eerie, unhurried grace he always carried, though something in his bearing tonight felt sharper, more focused, a man walking toward a reckoning he'd waited decades to finally have.It was Lucien who dealt with the infected.Two of them drifted al

    The plan took two weeks to build properly, longer than Sera wanted, but Marcus had refused to move forward on anything less thorough given what failure would cost."Four people," he said, laying the facility schematics across the table for what felt like the hundredth time. "Any more and we can't maintain the cover story. Any fewer and we don't have the redundancy to pull each other out if something goes wrong.""Who," Sera asked, though she already had her own answer forming."You, obviously. You're the only one who's actually spoken to him face to face, and if this goes sideways, you're the one person he might hesitate to kill outright, given whatever he thinks you represent." Marcus tapped the map. "Me, for security and extraction. Priya, because if we need to bypass anything electronic or structural once we're inside, she's the only one who can do it fast enough to matter.""And the fourth?""Lucien."Sera considered that, weighing the risk of bringing him into the one place that
